Printable Valentine Cards for the Minc Machine

Card Making· Paper Crafts· Valentine's Day

Every now and then, a really awesome crafting tool comes along and I can’t help but try to use it for everything. Heidi Swapp’s Minc is seriously the coolest thing: it can add metallic foil to just about any laser-printed item and with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I knew exactly what I would be foiling next! While store bought cards can be great for the romantic holiday, a home made version with your own heartfelt words will make any lucky person feel incredibly special and I’ve got free printable Valentine cards to help.

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own Minc Printable Valentine Cards:

  • Heidi Swapp™ Minc MachineClickLinks1
  • Minc Reactive Foil (I used red and hot pink)
  • Valentine Printables (printed with a laser printer)
  • Craft Scissors
  • Sharpie Pen

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-2Step One.  Begin by printing your free printable Valentine cards with a laser printer onto heavy card stock. Because most people don’t have a laser printer in their home, I always send mine to be printed by my local copy shop. Trim around the edges of each valentine.

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-3Step Two.  Cut a piece of the reactive foil large enough to completely cover the valentine. Layer the foil face-up on the valentine and place them within the plastic folder that is included with the Minc.

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step Three.  Run the plastic folder through a pre-heated Minc. I like to set my machine to 4, but you can use whatever settings you find to work best for you.

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step Four.  Carefully pull away the excess foil to reveal your completed valentine.

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-6Aren’t these printable Valentine cards pretty in all of their metallic-y goodness?

Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-7Minc-Printable-Valentine-Cards-Crafts-Unleashed-8Take a few moments to write some meaningful thoughts to the ones who matter most to you; I’ve already got these ready to go for my husband and kidlets.
