As shown here: I Love My Grandma quarter-fold card I Love My Grandma tri-fold card I Love My Grandma full page Free Printable Envelope Print on plain white computer paper, or colored card stock (which is best if coloring markers or glitter is going to be used).

	Step 1. Refrigerator Art Page Kids can color and decorate this lacey heart and present to Grandma along with one of the I Love My Grandma Valentine cards. Try this easy tip for applying glitter: Instead of messy, runny glue---that takes forever to dry---rub glue stick on wherever you want to glitter. Sprinkle the glitter over the rubbed on glue, pat gently with your fingers, and then shake off the excess glitter. The glitter adheres easily, and dried almost instantly. When using markers, you might want to print this lacey heart on card stock, either white or pink.

	Step 2. I Love My Grandma Quarter-Fold Card with Envelope This is a simple card to make and an easy card for young kids to color. Once colored and decorated, fold the card in half, and then half again so that the lacey heart is on the outside of the card. This card fits in a "party invitation" sized envelope, which you can buy at office supply stores like Office Depot. You can also print the free envelope, which will need to be folded and glued. See below for the links to helpful tutorials for quarter-fold cards and how to fold and glue the free printable envelope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Step 3. As you can see, the quarter-fold card fits nicely in the free printable envelope. The envelope is also suitable for mailing (see below for a link to the tutorial for the envelope for more information about mailing).

Step 4.

This is a tri-fold card that will fit in a regular business envelope (#10).

Color and decorate the lacey heart on the front, and then fold as you would a business letter.

Depending on how this card prints using your printer, you may have to trim the right-side edge of the lacey heart section to keep the images centered on each 1/3 of the page.

Step 5.

The card fits easily in any #10 business envelope.
