Travel & Leisure: You-print Valentine's Day card

On the outside it looks like a typical romantic heart card - but when you open it up, there's an anatomically correct surprise!

The card can either be printed directly on 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" card stock or cut down from 8 1/2 x 11" or A4 paper.

If using 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" card stock:

  • Download the files
  • Print out the card's inside, the file with the anatomically correct heart, on the card stock.
  • Print out the card front on regular letter-sized paper. This will be your cutting template.
  • Flip over the card inside so that it is face down.
  • Align the crop marks shown on the cutting template with the edges of the card stock print.
  • Use a craft knife to cut out the "romantic" heart shape.
  • Fold the card.
  • The resulting card should look like the graphic at right.

If using 8 1/2 x11" or A4 paper:

  • Download the files
  • Print out the card's inside, the file with the anatomically correct heart.
  • Using a straight edge and a craft knife, cut out the edges of the card along the crop marks.
  • Flip over the card inside so that it is face down.
  • Print out the card front, the one with the standard "romantic" heart. This will be your cutting template.
  • Align the crop marks shown on the cutting template with the edges of the card you've already cut out.
  • Use a craft knife to cut out the "romantic" heart shape.
  • Fold the card.
  • The resulting card should look like the graphic at right.
