Let’s hear it for love…of books! There’s nothing better than curling up under a snuggly blanket with a nice thick book. Of course, I love little books and somewhere-in-the-middle books too. And even though e-readers are convenient, there’s just something about flipping through well-loved pages that makes my heart happy.
I designed printable Valentine heart bookmarks to share with you, my fellow bookworms, filled with hearts to color. Use your favorite supplies to color one for yourself, or print a bunch to use as kid class valentines. Download the printable bookmarks after the tutorial. If you have a cutting machine, make sure you also grab my free Valentine bookmark svg file.

Make a Heart Bookmark for Yourself
Replace those old Target receipts, losing lottery tickets, and torn up envelopes! Make a pretty new bookmark that indulges your love of crafting and your love of reading. A double win! Print on heavy cardstock or watercolor paper that will stand up to your coloring tools of choice. Color with crayons, colored pencils, markers, watercolors, or whatever suits your fancy.
Optional: for extra shine, print using a laser printer and add foil using a foiling machine. I used the Minc machine and gold foil, then used a 3⁄4″ brush to watercolor over the top. Laminate or seal if desired, and punch a hole near the top of your bookmark to tie a bit of ribbon.
Supplies for foiled bookmark:
- Watercolor paper
- Watercolors and brush
- laser printer (or photocopy of printables-not inkjet printed for foiled bookmark)
- Minc machine and gold foil
- Coordinating Ribbon and card stock

Love love love these!
Thanks Angie!
These either print so enormous (3 pages huge) or are so fuzzy unclear, my first graders wouldn’t discern the lines. Not happy… a lot of effort to “sign up” for it he results to be so disappointing
Hi Kathy,
I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the file, let me address both your concerns. The bookmarks should print clearly one one page. Did you use the download button at the bottom of the post to save to your computer before printing? You may be experiencing problems if you’re trying to print directly from the low-resolution image of the page. If you’re having problems printing from the downloaded file, please contact me and I can help you further.
You never have to sign up for anything to access my free printables, they all have a download button at the bottom of the associated post to save the file to your computer. The only sign up form on my site is to subscribe to my newsletter for those interested in following me via email.

Adorable. The college kids love to color!
I’m glad they’re enjoying them!
I work for a public library would it be okay to print thsee out and leave on a table for kids on Valentines day?
Hi Liz,
Absolutely, I love the idea! The only thing I don’t allow is resale for profit. I hope the kids have fun with them!
Carla
Great! Thank you so much! 🙂
These will be perfect gift at our Community Meal ! Something to do for those who wish to be creative and they go home with inspirational words on the back
That sounds wonderful!
This is exactly what I need. Thank you so very much .
Super ! Thanks :)it’s a wonderful idea !
As a retired librarian, I say these are a great idea.
Thank You
These are so cute! I am going to use them for a Valentine’s Party for my daughter’s Girl Club. Thank you 🙂
Hi Carla,
About what Kathy posted on 1÷21÷17, I do Pinterest from my iphone when I am not near a PC. I experienced similar issues as Kathy because I don’t know where to find the file on my phone after I downloaded it. Truly operator error–my phone is smarter than I am! So I tried printing from the small image I had saved to my phone…
Some sites allow you to open a PDF of the bookmark file and I then click to open in Safari, and click to open in my PDF reader where the bookmarks print beautifully! Just a thought if you want to help tech-challenged people… 😉
Thank you Karen! I will definitely look into making that option available.
I can not access the download link and I am using my home pc. Where is it at? My cursor does not change to show me where to click, (like it normally does).
Hi Leslie, I had a problem on the admin side this morning and didn’t catch the issue with the download program I use. It’s all fixed now. Sorry about the trouble!
Please send me these!!!!!
Hi Alison,
The file is available for you to download at the bottom of the post. Just click the button and save the pdf to your computer. Enjoy!
I can’t click on the link!
I can’t either. Can you assist?

Lori, I’m sorry about the problem. Some admin updates caused broken links this morning. It’s all fixed now.
Sorry, but there is no link to the file at the bottom. Only something like that: [wpdm_package id=’4737′]
I’m sorry about the broken link. It’s fixed and should work fine now.
The link isn’t working for me either. 🙁 I would love to be able to download these for my students to color next week. Please help!
This is how the link looks on my end. [wpdm_package id=’4737′]
I’m sorry about the trouble Kaitlyn, I fixed the button and you should be able to download the file.
There is no link attached to that download? I can’t click on anything… can you please send it to me?
Hi Andrea, I fixed the link and you should be able to download the files now. I’m sorry for the trouble, I missed a problem on the admin side this morning.
Sorry about that everyone, I updated a few things on the admin side this morning and missed an issue with the download program I use. It’s all fixed now, and should download properly. Thanks for your patience!
Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you. I used the printable bookmarks for my Sunday school this year for Valentines day. The kids love it.
God bless

I’m so glad they had fun with the bookmarks!
Hello! Are we allowed to send the file to Staples or a similar store, to pay for them to print the bookmarks? They would technically be making profit from that. Can you please confirm permission to pay Staples or a similar office supply store to print these bookmarks?
Thank you!
You can have them printed anywhere you like, just not resell the files or finished projects. I hope that clarifies. Enjoy!
Thank YOU, I needed a new bookmark! I love the gold ones. I will trace with a embossing pen and then emboss them…no mint here…hope it works!
That sounds like it would work perfectly!
Thank you — very cute! I am going to make myself some bookmarks with these printed out on coloured paper. Will just stick onto cardboard with a ribbon or tassle.
