geometric heart: love letters // popup card

Hello everyone. I’ve been making these expandable/collapsible geometric heart cards – great for love letters!

It’s a really simple project to put together and one that you could customise to your own taste. After you have made your heart all you need to do is write your sweet nothings inside and pop it in an envelope.

You can also incorporate this geometric heart into an easy popup insert for a card (perfect for the people who found the popup pixel heart card too difficult).

If you want to make either of these projects then click the link below for instructions and templates!

INSTRUCTIONS

Print out the templates. Set your printing preferences to ‘photo’ and ‘grayscale’. Cut around the outside of your templates.

Score along the dotted lines using a ruler and pointy object (such as compass or needle). Fold along each of these lines.

For the love letter you will need to make a mountain fold across the vertical dotted line and two valley folds across the diagonal dotted lines.

For the pop-up card you will need to make a mountain fold along the dotted line that runs through the heart and valley fold for the rest of the lines.
