A die-cut valentine showing a girl with a pair of scissors snipping a heart out of paper sets this card apart from the lace-and-cupid designs that dominate the board. The novelty lies in its shape: the die-cutting process let printers stamp out irregular outlines, so the card's edges follow the figure rather than a plain rectangle. Mass-produced valentines of this kind grew popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when children and young adults often exchanged cards at school and at home. The cutting-paper motif is a playful nod to the handmade paper valentines that came before them.
