Instructions for how to make a 3D Heart Pop Up Card:

Download and print out the heart card template on colored paper. Make sure to use a different color for the Valentine Card page of the template and the heart pages of the template to add to the colorfulness of the card.
2. Cut out hearts
Use scissors to cut out each of the eight hearts from the template.
3. Fold each heart in half and glue all halfs together
Fold each of the eight hearts in half. Use your glue stick to add glue to one of the folded heart halves. Then glue another heart half onto it. Continue adding glue and adding a paper heart until all eight have been glued together, creating a 3D heart.

Want to make this gorgeous card for Mother’s Day or a different time of year?
No problem! Simply print out the heart pages of our template but use a blank piece of colored paper for your card. Then you can customize the inside and outside of the blank card however you like. You can write our same saying on the inside “You make my heart Explode!” or choose something completely different.
