I made this birthday cake pop up card for my sweet sister, who is fond of cakes. The card says "Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more". I used newspaper cuttings to write the message.
As the card opens a cute little 3 layered cake pops up!! The card made my sister very happy, hope even your dear ones like it..!! Happy Crafting :)

- Crease the fold lines on the legs.
- Make a slit exactly in the center of the circle, such that the post can fit in.
- Fold the edges of the center post to allow the post to slip through the slit.

- Fold the leg of the top layer down towards the middle layer.
- Stick the last fold of the legs to the top of the next layer.
