Picture puzzle: Leaf to Heart

Question

Background
Once upon a time  there lived a poor man.
He was so poor that he had nothing but a low-quality scissor that could only cut three times.
On Valentines day, he wanted to make a card for his mother.
He, of course, didn't want to send his scissors.
When he was thinking, what he could send, a leaf fell to the ground, which looked like this:

Then he had an idea: He wanted to make a Heart out of his leaf!
Puzzle
Can you help the poor man to make a Heart out of the Leaf with cutting the Leaf 3 times, but without throwing away any of the paper?
