Download the Easter Cross Pop-Up Card template and gather colorful craft papers. Use the template to cut out all the pieces, including flowers, stems, grass layers, and crosses.

Start with the smaller components. Attach the stems to the flowers and glue the center of the flower (the pedicel) onto the petals. For the grass, layer the middle piece between the larger and smaller grass cutouts, gluing them together to give the grass a dimensional look.

Complete the details by gluing the flower leaves onto their stems. Then, attach the smaller grass piece on top of the middle layer to enhance the layered effect.

Take a piece of cardstock that’s three times the height of your largest cross, and fold it in half vertically to create the card base. To add some contrast, glue a bright blue craft paper background to the front of your folded card.

Cut another strip of cardstock, fold it in half, and create creases at either end. This will form a pop-up mechanism. Secure this piece inside the center of your card so it pops out when the card is opened.

Glue the layered grass you assembled earlier to the pop-up mechanism, making sure it’s aligned properly.

Place the large cross in the middle of the grass section, attaching it securely to the pop-up.

Glue the smaller crosses on either side of the large cross to complete the focal point.

Finish the design by gluing pink and red flowers around the crosses and on the card background. Arrange them creatively to give your card a beautiful, finished look.
