Free Valentine’s Printables and Craft Ideas: Stand-Up Heart Cards
{guest post submitted by Mina of Mina’s Journal}
It is that time again when we remind those special to us that they are thought of and loved.
Make these easy stand up Hearts for Valentine’s Day, a quick project that almost anyone can do, and a nice alternative to the regular Valentine’s Day card.
Materials:
- Stand Up Hearts download (*NOTE: You need Adobe Reader to use this file. Save it to your computer for future use. Design by Mina Keenan.)
- Card or paper
- Scissors
- Glue
Technique
- Just trim around the outer edges, and fold along the tab lines where indicated, and as shown in the photo.
- Apply glue to the end tab and bring it to the back of the heart, letting it ‘naturally’ find it’s place where to stick, approximately two thirds of the way up the back of the heart.
Valentine Card Ideas
For those who want to colour or embellish their own Stand Up Hearts there is a download of Plain Stand Up Hearts.
You can further embelish these with sequins, glitter glue, rhinestones to ‘bling’ them up a bit.
You can fold the bottom base tab to pack flat for posting, if you want to use these as Valentine cards.
