Tulip in a Heart Card

Be still my heart! This tulip in a heart card is the cutest card your kids can make, either for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s day.

Open up the card, and a heart will reveal itself, along with a nice 3D pop up tulip flower.

This is one of those crafting projects that can certainly be done without a template, but as we get asked for them a lot, we thought it’s best to include one (you can grab it from our membership) and also explain how to make one without the use of the template. It’s really simple.

This card has just enough room on it for kids to add their very own personal message. Kind and warm words for a friend. Silly and adorable for the secret crush. Kind and from-the-heart words for Mother’s Day. There are a ton of options, and whatever the occasion may be, this tulip pop up cards will always be well received.

  • construction paper for heart (pinks, reds or any color really)

Step by Step How to Instructions

If you decided to work with our template, print it out on regular print paper. You could also print it on heavier print paper and color in all the parts to use in this project.

Trace the big heart stencil on construction paper.

If you are working wihtout our template, I recommend folding a sheet of construction paper in half and cutting out the heart. Draw half the heart shape next to the fold and cut it out, so you get the whole symmetric heart shape once you unfold it.

Cut out the heart shape from construction paper.

Glue in the white heart (the smaller heart from the template) inside the construction paper heart.

If you are working without the template, make a smaller heart than your first one and glue it inside.

Trace the leaves or draw your own.

Cut them out. Also cut stem.

Glue the stem inside the inner heart, on the bottom at the middle.

Glue on two leaves.

Let the glue dry. Fold the heart in half. Depending on the quality of glue, you might need to fix a few things ;).

Let’s make the flower

Trace the tulip flower shape on paper. You will need to trace it a few times, the more shapes the better (we had 6). You can use the same color for all of them, or make it multicolor.

Cut out the tulip flower.

Without the template, you will make the tulips the same way you did the hearts, as the thing that is important is to make them symmetrical. Fold the paper and cut out “half tulip” shape. Use the first one as stencil for others or, if you are working with thin paper (print paper) you can cut multiple layers at time, making more tulip flowers in one go.

Once all of them are cut, fold them in half.

Glue the halves one on top of the other.

Once you have all of them glued together… Apply glue on one end (half) of the tulip…

Press it down into the card. Apply glue on the other half.

And close the card for the glue to set.

  1. I love your paper crafts to do things with my grandchildren, but when they come I forget how to make them.
    I want to try to help them make this heart for their mom in a day or two so I don’t forget.
    Thanks
