I‘ve been scratching my head trying to come up with a card for my hubby {AKA the non-romantic type}. I finally decided to make this pixely popup heart card!

They are really minimal (which I love) and take about 20 minutes to make (that includes the card, insert and envelope).

You can even make some pixely confetti to put inside the card (if you are a big kid like me!).

Full instructions and printable templates below!

(BTW I remember seeing something similar in a popup book years ago. If anyone knows of the book then do let me know!).

How to

1. Download the popup insert template and print out. Using some scissors trim around the egde of the template.
2. Using a craft knife and ruler cut and score your card. See diagram below for more detail.

Cut along the black lines and score the grey lines.

3. Make the four valley folds as show below (thin yellow lines shown in fig. 3).
4. Slowly fold the top of the card inwards and the bottom half of the heart should begin to push out. (You don’t need to tape it to the table…I did because I was taking pictures at the same time!)

5. Fold card completely in half and smooth down
6. Make outer card and glue/tape popup insert inside. I just used a plain piece of paper which measured 9.5cm x 19cm and then folded it in half.

7. Print out the envelope template. Cut, score and fold.
8. Pop card inside and tape envelope shut (I added some pixely confetti too)!

虽然，这是一个讲究效率的年代，如果你想说就要说的直接，但是也不缺那些需要点浪漫，需要的含蓄手段的朋友。给他（她）写封情书吧？“D–BROS ”名信片会让你含蓄的表达你的所有情感！

写情书咯。。。。

看到没有，它就像一首朦胧的诗。。。

可惜了，只能给你们看看，暂时还未见这样的产品出现！
