3D HeartInside this card there's a nice surprise with 3D hearts! You can decorate the outside of the card and write a message inside. You can even write a message right on the hearts!

What You Will NeedHammermill® Paper Scissors and/or Exacto KnifeRibbon or Tape for HangingDouble Sided Tape, Tape and/or Glue/Glue StickPen, Colored Pencils and/or MarkersEnvelope 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" (A6)


Step 1 Print out our 3D Heart Template. Cut out the hearts along the horizontal line (1 strip makes 4 hearts) or just start folding as is.

Handmade Valentine's Day Cards 3D Hearts Instructions

Step 2 Next, accordion fold the entire strip. The first fold should happen at the center of the heart.

Step 5 For each strip, glue the 4 hearts back to back to create a 3D heart fan shape.

Step 3 While folded, cut out the one sided heart template.

Step 6 Cut out one of our card templates to serve as the card itself. Cut out an inner (slightly smaller in size) and outer card panel to prevent showthrough.

Glue the back sides of the first and last heart to the center fold of the card interior.

*Make sure the card closes, glue one side and place in card and then close card and glue to otherside of the card.

Step 4 Repeat based upon number of hearts desired. Each strip creates eight sections or 4 full hearts.

Pop-Up HeartFor your favorite Valentine, how about a big heart? This pop-up heart moves as you open and close the card to give a nice warm feeling!

What You Will NeedHammermill® Paper Scissors and/or Exacto KnifeRibbon or Tape for HangingDouble Sided Tape, Tape and/or Glue/Glue StickPen, Colored Pencils and/or Markers Envelope 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" (A6)


Step 1 Print out the Heart Cut Out Pop-Up Template. Score (lightly cut the paper without cutting all the way through the paper) the card along the dashed gray lines using one blade of scissors. This makes the card easier to cut.

Step 3 Cut out the exterior background shape along the solid gray lines.

Step 4 First fold your artwork in half and then unfold and bring the red heart out as shown below.

Step 5 Glue or tape the interior card panel artwork into the center of the base card.

*Adhere from the center on one side first for best results.

Step 2 Using an exacto knife, cut out the full interior heart and most of the larger center heart along the solid gray lines. When cutting the larger exterior heart, keep one portion of the side uncut at the same point on both sides so that the heart remains attached to the paper.

Chain of HeartsFor someone who really has a hold on your heart, how about a chain of hearts?It's nice to show how our hearts are tied together. Write your message out across the hearts, or on the card above them.

What You Will NeedHammermill® Paper Scissors and/or Exacto KnifeDouble Sided Tape, Tape and/or Glue/Glue StickPen, Colored Pencils and/or Markers Envelope 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" (A6)


Step 2 Next, accordion fold the entire strip. The first fold should happen at the abreviated edge of the round heart.

Step 5 Fold the linked hearts in a zigzag as shown.

Step 3 While folded, cut out the bottom and then the top of the heart shape. Make sure you don't cut the side of the heart (makes the linked hearts).

Step 7 Make sure the card closes, glue the other end of the heart to the other side. Glue nearer to the edge of the card and or use less hearts for a tighter heart chain.

Step 6 Glue on end of the linked hearts on one side of the base card.

Step 1 Print out our Heart Chain template. Use the crop marks to score and more easily and accurately fold the sections.

Step 4 Open your heart.

Dancing HeartsWhat could be more fun than dancing hearts? This lively little card has lots of little hearts dancing around, a great way to make your message more fun!

What You Will NeedHammermill® Paper Scissors and/or Exacto KnifeDouble Sided Tape, Tape and/or Glue/Glue StickPen, Colored Pencils and/or Markers Envelope 5.25" x 7.25" (A7)


Step 2 Score (lightly cut the paper without cutting all the way through the paper) the card along the dashed gray lines using one blade of scissors. This makes the card easier to fold.

Step 5 If using more than 6 hearts, arrange and glue any hearts together first.

Step 6 Glue the hearts to your Interior Card Template. Finally, glue your interior card into your Exterior Base Card Template. It's best to start gluing and taping at the center fold area and then work your way out.

Step 3 Cut out the inner card and cut along any solid gray lines. Next, fold the base of your card.

Step 1 Print out The Heart Pop-Up Exterior Base Card Template, Interior Art Card and Heart Templates of your choosing.

Step 4 Cut out at least a 5 hearts of varying sizes.
