A handwritten card can be the beginning rather than the whole gift. One short line invites them to scan; the digital letter carries the words you wanted more room for. The practical part matters: finish the letter first, leave the pattern clear and test the card you will actually give.
What to gather
- Your finished personal letter
- A card or paper you will supply
- A phone camera to test the final QR artwork
Make it personal
Publish the gift before making the card
Write and preview your letter, then publish it to get its actual gift link. Download the provided heart QR artwork for that published gift. A draft preview link is not the handover: test the published destination before committing ink or printing.
Give the pattern space
Keep the downloaded artwork proportional, on a plain high-contrast background. Do not draw across the modules, crop the heart or fold through it. Avoid glare from glossy material. Test a sample print at your chosen size; decorative or very small prints can be harder to scan.
Check the exact handover
Scan the final card and confirm that it opens the right gift. If you added a secret, make sure the recipient can work it out. Keep the direct link available as an alternative, and do not unpublish or delete the gift after printing a code you still want to work.
A handwritten invitation beside the code
Fictional example — change the details so it sounds like you.
There was more I wanted to say than this little card could hold. Point your camera at the heart when you have a quiet minute. The words inside are mine; the good part is that they are for you.
Will you print and deliver the QR card for me?
No. You download the QR artwork and arrange your own card or print. The code opens a published PartnerPresents gift, not any arbitrary website. Anyone with its link may be able to open the gift, so share thoughtfully and use the optional secret if appropriate.
