## Caption

This year we made Valentine’s Day a little more special with a DIY Valentine’s Day card that actually pops to life.
I designed and cut the card using my Cricut machine, then used a few simple folding techniques to create a pop up Valentine’s card when you open it.
To finish it off, I added a giant cutout of my son’s head so it looks like he’s holding a love sign inside the card.
The best part was handing it off to my son and letting him decorate it with markers and make it his own.
A simple handmade Valentine’s Day card idea made with basic tools, a little creativity, and a lot of personality.
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day card idea to make with kids or an easy DIY card for mom, this one’s hard to beat. #valentinecards #diy
