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!
YOU WILL NEED:

+ Good quality A4 paper (in whatever colours you fancy)
+ Scissors
+ Ruler
+ Glue
+ Pointy object for scoring
TEMPLATES: LOVE LETTER

Love letter
Love letter envelope
TEMPLATES: SIMPLE POPUP CARD

Insert & outer card
Envelope
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.

Hi, thanks for sharing your ideas. my daughter and I love it.
I don’t understand what is the outer card for
Whoa! THANK YOU for posting this 😀 I love this, what a way to make a person feel special >///<
I think… It’s for.. A surprise effect? I guess the popup heart was supposed to be a surprise and seeing a missing part of the card would be a great giveaway, ruining it.
Thanks!
Hi Edna,
Din is right. The outer layer covers the inner layer.
The inner card needs to be carefully stuck inside the outer card. When you open the card it pops out.
Got it!!!, thank you. Hello from Mexico!!!!
Many thank’s

Hi there,
Thanks for the kind comments (and sorry for the slow reply). I use paper from paperchase – spectrascope range:
http://www.paperchase.co.uk/page/search?typekeywordsearch=keyword&q=spectrascope&searchsubmit.x=0&searchsubmit.y=0
It has no weight on it but I would say it’s a good quality paper – not quite 160gsm. I think 160gsm will work really well for most of the projects though.
With a heavier paper you tend to get better durability but with a lighter paper you tend to get crisper detailing so it’s your choice really.
Hope that helps
Happy crafting
Kate

Mélu
you are really amazing.. ı subconcsiously click your website and ı fond of it very much now..ı am a teacher and ı will use these great ideas for my kids..thanks a lot..ı love you 😉
Wonderful blog, great ideas! Thanks for sharing your ideas! =)
Cute idea! My 10-year old daughter made the popup cards for her teachers. We found that the outer card was a bit too large for the envelope template you list here (if you trim it down to the inner card size, it would work). We did end up using the envelope from your pixel heart card; that was a bit larger than needed, but worked better than the prescribed envelope. Thanks for the Valentine’s help!
these are brilliant! our two young girls are so excited to decorate and give to their friends!!!
I like this. This a fantastic idea

I have the template for the inner and outer card but have no idea where the outer card goes in relation to the inner Thanks so much Samantha
