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;
