Reasons Why I Love You Printable Valentine's Day Card

I think I say it every year, but Valentine’s Day still remains one of my favorite holidays. With a love language of gift-giving, it just gives me an extra excuse to spoil family and friends. A DIY card is a thoughtful way to show someone you’ve been thinking about them- and this one brings that extra special touch with reveal windows!

You’ll Need
Valentine’s Day printable
Valentine’s Day cut file (if using a Cricut)
cardstock (this is my favorite brand for printing cards at home)
straight edge
Exacto blade
glue stick (optional)

Download and print out the card design. Make sure to check “Actual Size” and not “Fit to Size” to get the true 8″x6″ size.
Trim the card to size.
If you’re using a Cricut to cut the flaps, line up the cut out card on the 1×1 crosshairs on a light grip mat. The Cricut design space won’t cut on the true border, so this will make it easier to line up the cut file and the card.
Load up the cut file into the Cricut design space and set the outer border rectangle to “draw” and the rest of the shapes to “cut”. “Attach” the whole design. This will give you a ghost outline you can line up in the design space! Send to cut.
OR
Use your Exacto blade to cut the reveal flaps.
Fold in half along the straight edge/ruler for a crisp line.
This is completely optional, but if you want them to slowly find each reason instead of quickly opening the whole card, apply a bit of glue all along the inside border. Now they have to open each flap 😉

I’m thinking of making 1 dark chocolate and Himalayan salt truffle per reason to gift along with these cards. Or better yet, an advent style reveal with different truffle flavors??? Hm, maybe a DIY idea for next year?
