Making heart-filled text with the Fancy Text Generator
Difficulty: easy. Time: 5 to 15 minutes of design, plus machine time. Best methods, in order: laser cutting, 3D printing, vinyl cutting.
Heartypify takes a word and weaves hearts into it: counters, gaps, and openings in the letters become little heart cutouts and accents. The output is one merged design, so it cuts as a single piece and reads instantly as a love-themed keepsake.
It shines for Valentine's Day, weddings, anniversaries, and Mother's Day: names, MAMA signs, couple monikers, and gift toppers. Export SVG for cutting or STL/3MF to print the word as a chunky 3D piece.

What You'll Need
- Laser cutting: laser cutter, 3 mm laser-grade plywood or pink/red acrylic
- 3D printing: any FDM printer; red, pink, or silk filament suits the theme
- Vinyl cutting: Cricut or similar, adhesive or heat-transfer vinyl, transfer tape
Step 1 - Type your word
Open the tool and enter a name or short word in Your Text. Pick a Font; rounded, chunky faces leave the most room for hearts to nest into the letters. The preview updates live as the hearts are placed.
Step 2 - Balance hearts and letters
- Heart Size scales the hearts relative to the letters. Bigger hearts read from across the room; smaller hearts keep the text primary.
- Text Width sets the finished size in real units via the Units toggle.
- Short words work best; one to eight characters keeps every heart visible and the piece structurally sound.
Step 3 - Export
Download an SVG for laser or vinyl cutting, or an STL/3MF at your chosen depth for 3D printing. Everything exports as one merged shape.
Choose Your Build Method
Cutting the design
- Import the SVG and size-check against your sheet.
- Cut from 3 mm plywood or cast acrylic; the heart cutouts become charming negative space, so a contrasting backer makes them pop.
- Mask wood to keep the heart openings crisp and soot-free.
- Glue red card stock or acrylic behind the piece so every heart cutout glows in color.
- Add a small hole in your laser software if you want to hang it as an ornament.
Make It Yours
- Cut MAMA with heart accents for a Mother's Day gift that needs no explanation.
- Make matching couple names for an anniversary shelf display.
- Cut mini versions as Valentine gift tags with a ribbon hole.
- Layer the word in pink acrylic over a white heart backer plate.
- Print the word in glow-in-the-dark filament for a kid's nightstand.
- Add a heat-transfer vinyl version to a tote for a galentine gift bag.
