Free printable Valentine's Day card from vintage piano sheet music

This free printable Valentine’s Day card was inspired by vintage piano sheet music that I found in a Brooklyn antique store. I bought the sheet music thinking they might make nice wedding save-the-dates or wedding cards someday.

I tucked the vintage sheet music away in my crazy crammed craft closet and just recently re-discovered it (funny how that works). And I’ve never been a particularly mushy Valentine’s Day person but the lyrics really hit a (ahem) note: “Just because you’re you, that’s why I love you. Just because you’re you, what more can I say?”

I scanned it in, retouched it, turned it into a red-backed card and added “For My Love” notes with red hearts on the front.

Perfect for printing out for your Valentine’s Day love.

  • White cardstock paper (it’s available in a range of colors)
  • A6-sized red envelope
  • Bone folder
  • Paper trimmer or Xacto knife, metal ruler and self-healing mat
  • Computer and printer

How to make a Valentine’s Day card from vintage sheet music:

Print out my free printable Valentine’s Day card from vintage sheet music (PDF) in color on white cardstock paper.

Line up your metal ruler on the guides on the printable card on top of a self-healing mat. Run your Xacto knife along the ruler to cut out. TIP: Just cut it out from the center rather than cutting the whole strip off so that you can still see the guides as you cut each side.

Now here’s how you get a really crisp edge on your card: Place the card face down on a self-healing mat. Place a metal ruler just to the left of the middle of the card and run a bone folder along the ruler to score the card.

Fold along the scoring – voila! A perfect fold.

Now lightly run your bone folder on the outside of your folded card to crisp the crease. Gush all you want inside and tuck into an A6-sized red envelope.

    Thanks for the printable! It’s great – so cute! Would you consider making the plain sheet music available as a pdf, too? I have another project in mind that would be best without the red sentiment…

      @Amy O, sure, what did you have in mind? Did you want the whole sheet of paper or just the cropped area that was on the card? Color-corrected to white or the original scan that looks weathered? In return I’d love it if you could share what you make with it either tweet a pic to @merrimentdesign or post on the MerrimentDesign.com FB wall? Or old school email and I’ll share it for you. Whaddya think?
