Mother’s Day pop-up cards sit in an odd gap on most template sites — search “birthday card” and you get generic layouts, search “Mom” and you get flat printables with no fold or lift. The 31 designs below are built specifically as dimensional SVG cut files: pop-up bouquets, shadow boxes, and layered MOM lettering that a flat template can’t match.
This Mom SVG library runs well past a thousand designs, with new pop-up and shadow box cuts added every week. Every file here is a print-ready vector, and most bundle SVG, DXF, EPS, and PNG together so they work across Cricut, Silhouette, and laser cutters alike.

Quick Answer: This guide covers 31 birthday pop-up card SVG templates for Mom — pop-up bouquets, layered shadow boxes, and dimensional MOM lettering. Each is a digital cut file, ready for instant download.
A pop-up card built from a 10-to-13-layer SVG file holds its shape on a shelf for weeks — a flat printed card gets tucked in a drawer the same day.
All templates are digital downloads. Load the SVG into Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio, cut from cardstock, then follow the included PDF or video to assemble.
1. Love Mom SVG Bundle
Three designs in one download: a layered Mother’s Day card, a floral gift box, and a perfume gift box, plus bonus MUM-spelling files tucked into the Extras folder. A video tutorial walks through assembly for each piece, so the 12×12 cutting mat sizing isn’t guesswork.
2. Floral Rainbow Mom 3D Shadow Box SVG
A clean four-layer shadow box with a white base and a boho rainbow arc, with MOM lettering set across the front band. It suits a birthday just as well as Mother’s Day, since nothing in the design references a specific holiday.
3. Roses for Mom Pop-Up Card
The card front reads MOM inside a wreath of rose lace; open it and a heart layered with more roses says Happy Mother’s Day. A matching A7 envelope is included, and finished it stands roughly six inches tall when fully expanded.
4. Love U Mom SVG Bundle
A jewelry gift box, a paperscape card with delicate floral layers, and a dimensional wreath — three separate projects bundled together with their own video walkthroughs. The wreath alone works as a standalone door decoration once assembled.
5. For Mom SVG Bundle
Floral heart paper sculpture, tulip basket sculpture, and a Mother’s Day bouquet pop-up card, each sized for 12×12 cutting mats with a PDF color legend. The sculptures are flat wall pieces rather than boxes, so they’re a faster weekend project than a full shadow box.
6. MUM – MOM Layered Floral Design
Five stackable floral layers that glue flat or sit on spacers for a 3D look; comes in both MUM and MOM spelling, each with scored and perforated variants. Fold the fifth layer to turn it into a card, or skip it for a framed wall piece.
7. Flowers for Mom SVG Bundle
A lollipop daisy sculpture, a bon bon-style bouquet, and a layered pop-up card, each shipped with its own assembly video. The bon bon bouquet doubles as a centerpiece if you skip the flat mounting step.
8. Best Mom Ever Floral Bouquet SVG 2003
A ten-layered bouquet card built for shadow box or light box framing, with PDF assembly notes instead of video. It’s a denser build, so budget more time if you haven’t stacked ten layers before.
9. The Best Mom Round Sign.Roses
A 30 cm laser-cut round sign in three layers, bordered with a rose pattern — cut from 3 mm plywood or heavy cardstock. The larger scale makes it better suited to a wall or door than a card or gift tag.
10. 3D MOM Letters Hearts Design SVG
Freestanding MOM letters built from seven stacked layers each, filled with a mandala-style heart cutout pattern for wall or shelf display. At 65 lb cardstock the letters hold their shape without extra backing.
11. Mom Bouquet Pop Up Card Print & Cut SVG
A print-and-cut spring tulip bouquet that pops up on opening, with a choice of MOM, MUM, or a flowers-only front so you can add your own wording. It’s built for Cricut and Silhouette specifically, with a print-then-cut workflow rather than pure vector cutting.
12. Best Mom Card 3D SVG
A compact card that trims cleanly in Silhouette Studio or Cricut Design Space with no extra file conversion needed, which makes it a reasonable pick if this is your first layered card.
13. Mom with Heart Kirigami Pop Up Card SVG
A kirigami pop-up spelling MOM or MUM with a heart standing in for the middle letter, sized for a 4×6 or 5×7 card. The front stays blank, leaving room for your own printed or handwritten design.
14. Love Mom Floral 3D Box Paper
A compact 20x20cm floral shadow box, downloaded as five separate SVG/DXF/EPS file sets for layer-by-layer cutting. The smaller footprint makes it easy to fit into a standard frame without custom matting.
15. Mom and Kid Papercut Light Box
A silhouette light box scene of a mother and child, designed to glow when backlit inside a shadow frame. It reads as a keepsake piece rather than a card — plan to keep it on display rather than give it away flat.

16. Mother’s Day Sign with 2 Gift Boxes
A triangular stand holding a pop-up M(heart)M sign flanked by two small boxes, each sized to fit four Ferrero-style chocolates. Score-line and perforated versions are both included in the download.
17. Love You Mom Pop Up Envelop Card SVG2020
A nine-layered envelope-style card front, built for shadow box framing as much as for mailing. Only PDF instructions ship with this one, so it suits someone already comfortable reading a layer diagram.
18. 3D Best Mom Ever Shadow Box Custom Photo
A shadow box frame built around a custom photo slot at the center, so you can drop in a picture of the two of you. Files come in SVG, PNG, and AI, with no watermark on the finished layers.
19. MOM’S Heart Envelope Pop Up Card SVG2009
Thirteen stacked layers form a heart envelope with a rose floral papercut border — one of the more detailed builds in this list. Set aside extra time for alignment given the layer count.
20. Best Mom Ever, Rose in a Heart Card
A 3D rose sits inside a cut heart beneath a Best Mom Ever quote, delivered with a step-by-step assembly PDF. All pieces are vector files, so resizing the whole card up or down keeps proportions intact.
21. “I Love You Mom” Vase Card SVG 2005
A ten-layered card built around a small box stand that holds up a pop-up flower vase when the card opens. The vase-and-stand structure gives it more physical presence on a shelf than a flat card would.
22. I Love You Mom Floral Heart Card SVG2001
A simpler four-layer floral heart card, a good starting project if you’re new to layered papercutting and want to test the workflow before a denser build.
23. Best Mom, Orchid Pop-Up 3D Gift Tag
A small pop-up orchid gift tag reading Best Mom — sized to clip onto a wrapped present rather than stand alone. It’s a fast add-on project if you’re already cutting cardstock for a larger gift.
24. Best Mom Ever 3d Mother’s Day SVG
Each layer ships as its own PNG file so you can swap in your own color combination before cutting, alongside combined CDR, EPS, and SVG files for the full design.
25. Mom 3D Shadow Box SVG
A compact shadow box spelling MOM with visible depth between layers, sized for a standard frame. Files include SVG, AI, EPS, PNG, and DXF, covering most common cutting software.
26. MOM’S Floral Heart Frame SVG Layer 2019
Nine layers build a floral heart frame card, left blank inside for your own handwritten note. It follows the same PDF-only instruction format as the other cards from this designer.
27. Best Mom Card, Layered SVG Paper Card
An A2-format card (5.5 x 4.25 in) with butterflies and flowers layered around a Best Mom message, doubling as a birthday card too since nothing in the design is Mother’s Day specific.
28. Mum Mom Mama We Love You Heart Card
A straightforward layered heart card carrying a We Love You message, sized for quick weekend assembly without a long list of supplies.
29. Love You Mom Floral Heart Card SVG 2014
Eleven layers of floral detail build up around a central heart on this card, making it one of the more elaborate single-card designs in the list.
30. POP Up CARD. SVG Templates. Mom’s Day.
A pop-up card template set that also works on laser cutters, not just Cricut or Silhouette machines. The designer recommends 100 lb (270 gsm) cardstock for cleaner fold lines.
31. Mom Tulip Cut out Gate Fold Card SVG
A one-piece gate-fold card plus a separate insert, resizable to fit any square envelope you already have on hand — useful if you’re working around envelopes you’ve already bought.

Key Takeaways
- Pop-up and shadow box SVGs give a card physical presence that flat printables can’t — the fold or lift is the whole point.
- Most bundles here include SVG, DXF, EPS, and PNG together, so one purchase covers Cricut, Silhouette, and laser-cutting workflows.
- Layer counts range from 4 to 13 — pick a lower layer count for a first project, save the denser shadow boxes for once you’re comfortable with alignment.
- Bundles that pack three projects (card, box, wreath) into one file are the better value if you’re making multiple gifts this year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What software do I need to cut these SVG files?
Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio handle every file in this list. Files that include DXF or EPS formats also work with laser cutters and vector editors like Illustrator or Inkscape.
What cardstock weight works best for pop-up cards?
Most designers recommend 65-80 lb (176-216 gsm) cardstock. Anything lighter can sag under a multi-layer pop-up structure; anything much heavier can jam a home cutting machine.
Can I resize these templates?
Yes, but scale every piece in a design together and by the same percentage — resizing pop-up or shadow box pieces individually will throw off how they fit together.
Do these work for occasions other than Mother’s Day?
Several of the shadow box and heart designs work equally well for a mom’s birthday — swap the wording layer or leave the card blank inside for your own message.
Can I write my own message inside these pop-up cards?
Yes — most designs leave the interior panel blank or only lightly decorated, which leaves room to handwrite a personal note once the pop-up mechanism is assembled and glued.
