anatomical heart cards

Submitted by sheila on Friday, 9 January 200916 Comments

My history with Valentines Day projects is a long one. Even back in grade school I made my own Valentines for classmates. I’d check out books from the library with Victorian cherubs and filigree hearts. I’d trace them on parchment and then write sentiments in caligraphy, roll them up, and tie with a ribbon. OMG, they must have thought I was crazy putting those along side their dime store valentines. I was.

Years later, I found myself doing variations on those original valentines. Friends were always in shock to receive something that obviously took a long time too make. I think they mistook the effort for endearment. Honestly, I just wanted to make valentines.

These anatomical heart valentines will dispel any doubt as to the exact sentiment that you have for the recipient. We don’t want to leave room for misinterpretation. Finally, the PERFECT valentine for everyone!

I started out being sincere, but quickly went off the deep end:

This one is big but genuine. I just wish I could make it pulse.

This one is a bit over the top. Nothing says I love you like a giant gaudy paper heart covered with bling, chipboard, flowers, a ribbon bow, and wire scrolls. Nothing. Let’s call it “Heavy Heart”.

This one is for that someone special, if only for a moment.

This is for someone who won’t leave you alone. Nuff said.

This one says, “Be careful what you wish for.”

This one is for a special child or someone who is emotionally immature.

Here’s the print and cut template for those who would like to make their own anatomical heart valentines. Just right-click and select, “save as…” Then print to the size you want.

For all you SCAL folks, here’s the svg. To save, just right-click and then save. (I’m experimenting with how to post these files, so let me know if there are problems.)

Enjoy!
