  • How to make a 3D greetings card. Simple 3 D Love Heart Card - Step 1
    Step 1

    First take a piece of card and fold in half to make the base of your greeting card.
    Mine is a smallish square however the bigger the card the easier to make as it gets fiddly later.
    Get a smaller peice of coloured paper. Scrunch it up and glue it on the card leaving most of it 3d to give effect.

    Step 2

    Take another piece of card slightly smaller than the coloured piece of paper and fold it in half to make a square. Cut out half a heart with a tab in the middle so that when unfolded it makes a total heart with tabs on either side.
    Then, keeping folded, cut another heart out from the middle.
    See pic.

    Step 5

    Take the white heart and crease it. If you are using double sided tape, placde a piece on the white heart and lay the tabs of the red heart on it (see pic) so the red heart is folded forward.
    If you are using glue do the same but you may have to hold it in place while it dries.
