Materials

  • Pink, pastel blue, and white cardstock (multiple small pieces)
  • Base cardstock for the pop-up grid (8–10 in.)
  • Heart stickers or punched heart shapes
  • Glue stick or double-sided tape
  • Scissors or paper trimmer
  • Fine-liner pens (black + colors if you prefer)

Instructions

  • Begin by folding your base cardstock into a compact square, leaving flaps that open out into a full grid shape.
  • Cut several tiny squares and rectangles from pink, blue, and white paper, keeping the sizes similar so everything fits neatly.
  • Add mini messages, doodles, and little hearts on each piece, you can mix short phrases like “be mine,” xoxo,” sweetheart, or inside jokes you share.
  • Glue each decorated piece onto the grid, arranging colors in a balanced way so it looks cute when fully opened.
  • Attach a small pull-tab at the bottom flap and write a final note such as “Happy ever after.”
