Cut out the form of a much smaller heart and write a message on it. Open the paper and you will see that the tab, which juts inward, is formed in two parts. Glue the bottom tip of the smaller heart onto the bottom part of the tab. Once the glue has dried, the card can be further decorated. When your recipient of choice opens the card, your message will pop out.

Harriet Tubman

By Varun Gulati | Feb. 11, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Araminta Ross, born in Maryland around 1820, worked both as a house slave and a field worker for a family in Dorchester County. Ross was an advocate for slaves' rights and was even hit at one point by a brick while protecting a fellow field worker. As a result, Ross had to deal with a condition that sent her into bouts of deep sleep, presumably narcolepsy, for the rest of her life. In 1844, Ross married John Tubman and took his last name while changing her first to Harriet.
