Valentine card with 3D heart

On Valentine's Day, all lovers want to do something very nice for their other half. The most beautiful and desirable ones are selected present, are beautifully packaged and left to wait for their “finest hour”. To make the gift even more sincere and eloquent, I propose to complement it with a beautiful and original postcard, which you will now learn how to make.

So, you should have the following things for creativity:
• A thick sheet of office paper for the base of the card.
• Red paper for the heart. It is desirable, but not at all necessary, that it be textured or with beautiful inscriptions, then the heart will look more interesting.
• Pencil, line, scissors.
• PVA glue.
• And any things to decorate the front side of the card. I will have the same red paper from which I will make a heart and the same type of white paper from which I will make a frame.



Let's start making a postcard. First. What we will do is the base for the postcard. We fold a sheet of office paper in half if we want to get a large valentine.If you are happy with a standard size postcard, then divide the sheet of office paper folded in half into two parts and fold one of them in half again. It turns out this little book is the basis.



Now let's move on to the volumetric heart. We cut out two identical hearts from red paper and glue them together so that the red side is on the back and on the front side.



Using a pencil, draw a spiral on the heart. Just follow the contours of the heart until you reach its central part.



Take scissors and carefully cut the heart along the drawn spiral. We cut out until a small heart remains in the center of our heart. The result is such a voluminous heart.



Now we paste the heart into our card. Glue a small heart on one side of the card, grease the tip of the largest heart and close the card. It is important that the heart does not change its shape when the card is closed. If it moves, then when you close the card, the heart will be deformed. If you want an even more voluminous heart, then make another heart-shaped spiral in the same way and glue the two spirals together. You need to glue them together by the small central hearts, and glue them onto the postcard by the large hearts.



Now we just have to design the front part of the card. I cut out another heart, glued it into the center, and made a frame along the contour, with a slight indentation from the edge of the card.



I got this postcard. You can experiment and make it more elegant, with a different pattern on the front side, this is a matter of your taste and your desires.In any case, no matter how you design the front side, such a card will be a wonderful addition to a gift for Valentine’s Day and your other half will definitely appreciate your efforts and reward you with a pleasant kiss. Happy upcoming holiday!
