Replace your 2D points by 3D points. Example,

contour1 = First@ Graphics@ ContourPlot[ x y, {x,-1,1},{y,-1,1},
	AspectRatio->Automatic,
	ContourShading->False
];0;

contour2 = First@ Graphics@ ContourPlot[ x^2+y^2,
	{x,-1,1}, {y,-1,1},
	AspectRatio->Automatic,
	PlotRange->All,
	ContourLines->True, ContourShading->False
];0;

contour1 = contour1 /. {x_?AtomQ, y_?AtomQ} ->{x,0,y};
contour2 = contour2 /. {x_?AtomQ, y_?AtomQ} ->{0,x,y};

Show[
	Graphics3D[{contour1, contour2}
	]
];0;
