How to make a pop-up photo pumpkin card

First, download and print the free pumpkin card pattern available here.

Cut out the pumpkin pattern and trace onto orange card stock. Cut out your pumpkin.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin, about 1 1/2″ down. (Just like you would a real pumpkin that you were going to carve). Cut a leaf shape from green card stock and glue to the lid. Color the stem with brown paint marker or crayon.

Glue a photograph of your child to the jumbo wooden craft stick, leaving about 1″ space at the top. Trim your photo so it is smaller in width than your pumpkin.

Glue the pumpkin “lid” to the top of your craft stick, just overlapping the top of the photo.

Cut a small strip of your leftover green card stock – as wide as your pumpkin and about 1″ thick. Glue the edges of this paper tab to the back of your pumpkin, about 1″ from the top (where you cut off the “lid”).

Slide your craft stick with photograph between the back of the pumpkin and this paper tab, so that the lid rests on top of the pumpkin. Trim your photo if necessary to ensure that it fits.

Decorate the front of your pumpkin with a special holiday message. You could even draw a face on the pumpkin to make it a Halloween jack-o-lantern!
