Heart-Shaped Animal Cards are simple, easy, and fun to make, which is why they’ve long been a favourite craft project in primary schools. They invite children (and adults!) to develop fine motor skills while playing with shapes, encouraging creativity in a relaxed and approachable way.
In this post, I’d like to invite you to explore an alternative approach using die-cut heart shapes, where the focus shifts from cutting to designing, arranging, and inventing or recreating characters ( or Pinterest ideas).
This can be done in any size and colour and for any occasion using the new Rounded Hearts die set from the Heart to Heart Release by Simon Says Stamp.
Simon Says Stamp Rounded Heart Dies
The Simon Says Stamp Rounded Hearts die set will easily and effortlessly cut identical and consistent shapes that will work beautifully as creative building blocks.
The set features 10 softly rounded heart shapes in graduated sizes and what makes this set truly unique is its generous scale. The largest heart measures approximately 5-1/2 × 4-1/2 inches, perfect for bold focal points, full card fronts, and shaped card designs.
You can use these dies to create solid hearts, layered accents, or cut-out openings for shaker and peek-through cards. A timeless staple that works beautifully for love-themed and everyday heartfelt projects.
The assembly is straightforward, yet the results remain polished, making these ideas accessible and enjoyable for crafters of all skill levels, from beginners to more experienced makers.
The cards can be easily adapted for Valentine’s Day, Easter, birthdays, or any occasion. I’m currently refurbishing my craft room, and goodness!!! How much I missed the Bee Mine stamps to complete the bee cards and so many other pun-intended greetings.
