Take any size piece of paper and fold it in half to make your card. Of course, you can make the card as big or small as you want and fold it to open sideways or flip up. Decorate the front and inside of your card however you wish. Add bows or glitter to make it original. When you decorate the inside, plan how many flowers you want, how large you want them, and where you want them. Once you've decorated your card, open it and use a pen to mark with an X where you plan to place your pop up flowers. This will give you a final number of how many you need to make. Once you mark the spots, put your card in a safe place so that you can make your flowers. Using colorful paper, outline as many flowers as you had X's on your card. You can make them all the same kind and color or you can vary them. Try cutting out two flowers and gluing them together. Rather than gluing them directly on top of one another, twist one so that the petals from the bottom are seen in between the petals of the other. The size of your flowers and the length of your springs depends on how much wobble you want the flowers to have. Larger flowers will be heavier and flop around more, while smaller flowers will stay in place easier. Make sure you aren't obstructing your text with overly large flowers. The easiest flower to draw will have four to five petals and you can easily draw one by placing a small circular item on your paper (a penny is a good starting point). Next, simply trace a bubbled outline around the circle to make your flower. Now that you have all of your flowers cut out, you can decorate them. Use glitter, markers, or chalk to add fun to the future pop up flowers for your card. To make them 3D, you can fold the petals to give them some structure. Simply crease the petals down the middle so that the petals stand up. There are 2 methods for this. For one, cut strips of construction paper three inches long and the width of your flowers. Cut as many strips as you have flowers. Take a strip and fold " up. Keep this fold and make a second fold by going the opposite way. This will create a Z shape, with one strip longer than the other. Repeat this back and forth fold all the way up your strip of paper. Notice that it creates a spring. Alternately, you can cut strips an inch or two longer, and fold them like an accordion. This will really make your flowers pop. If you've added glitter, glue, or anything else to your card that needs time to adhere, wait for it to dry before you add your flowers. This way you can move your card freely to place your flowers where you want. Rubber cement will hold your springs the best, but standard glue will work as well. Place a drop of adhesive on your X and place the bottom fold of your spring on it. Hold it in place for a few seconds. Repeat with all of your X's and springs. Now that you've glued your springs to your card, place a drop of adhesive to the top flap of a spring. Using both hands, place one of your flowers on this spring. Pinch the top flap of your spring and your flower together to ensure it sticks. Once the springs and flowers have dried, carefully close your card. When you do so, it will squish the flowers to the card. When it is opened again, the flowers will pop up.

Summary: Start with your card. Mark the spot for your flowers. Cut out your flowers. Add extras to your flowers. Make the pop up springs. Wait for your card to dry. Glue the springs to your card. Glue your flowers on. Carefully close your card.

Typically, if your blood sugar is out of control, you will feel thirsty constantly. You may be able to down a pitcher of water or tea without even thinking about it, for instance, when normally you'd only drink a glass or two. When the sugar concentration is high in your blood, your kidneys can't pull the sugar out anymore. Your body tries to dilute that sugar by pulling in more water from your tissues, leaving you feeling dehydrated. This makes you feel the urge to drink more water, resulting in you urinating more often. If you're trying to lose weight, dropping pounds isn't a bad thing. However, if you haven't changed your eating or exercising habits recently, suddenly losing weight can be an indicator of diabetes. With type 2 diabetes, your insulin has trouble getting sugar from your blood for energy. Therefore, it starts drawing from your fat and muscle reserves for energy, causing you to lose weight. Keep in mind that not all early diabetics will lose weight. You may gain weight or see no change in your weight, even though you have diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can also cause extreme hunger. You may find yourself wanting to snack all the time and in large quantities. At the same time, you may still be losing weight. Typically, this is because your body is having trouble drawing energy from the glucose in your blood, so it's making you want to eat more. With diabetes, you'll have more trouble healing cuts than you normally do. For instance, you may notice that a cut just doesn't seem to be healing over, even after a week or two. You might also get gum or skin infections more often, as well as genital itching caused by fungus or sugar in your urine. Unstable glucose levels can affect your blood circulation, which is why healing takes longer. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can make you feel tired all the time. This isn't just feeling tired after a long day of work; rather, it's a tiredness that you can't seem to shake no matter how much rest you get. Irritability is a related symptom, as not feeling yourself can make you irritable. Because unstable blood sugar can reduce your circulation, your blood can't get energy and oxygen to your cells. High blood sugar levels may cause changes in your eyes, leading to blurred vision. This symptom may go away if you get your blood sugar under control, but you definitely need to see a doctor. If you experience blurred vision, visit your doctor immediately for a medical evaluation.
Summary: Notice if you need to drink water and urinate more often. Pay attention to sudden weight loss. Check to see if you're extra hungry. Look for slow healing times and a higher number of infections. Watch for fatigue and irritability. See a doctor if you have blurred vision.
