The Joy of Love on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is a special day dedicated to celebrating love and relationships. It's a time to show appreciation for the people we care about and to express our feelings to them. One of the most heartfelt ways to do this is by giving a homemade handcrafted card.
Homemade handcrafted cards are a unique way to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. The time and effort you put into making a card from scratch can make it even more meaningful than a store-bought one.
What I have created is just an idea, that you can simplify or change up.
How to Make a large sized Homemade Handcrafted Card
You'll need some supplies:
A4 Heavy white card
Two designs of patterned cardstock that are complimentary colours
A heart template printed on white paper.
Red ink pen - medium nib
Black ink pen -fine nib
Coloured washi tape
Glue stick or tape
Scissors
Letter stickers or stamps
To Make:
1. Copy the heart template to your computer and print it onto white paper.
2. Cut the heart template out.
3. Fold the white card in half to make a card, and reinforce the spine using washing tape.
Add some black ink pen detail.
4. Outline the heart on the front of the card as shown.
Tidy up the wiggly lines.
5. Add dots and scribble details if you want or leave plain.
6. Cut pieces of patterned card into bits and randomly glue them around the heart shapes.
7. Use letter stickers or ink stamps as I have done, and write
'I Love You' above the hearts, and 'To Pieces' (or 'To Bits') below the hearts.The heart template I printed is this one:
Remember, the most important thing about Valentine's Day is not the gifts or grand gestures, but the genuine love and appreciation we share with others.
Let's make this Valentine's Day memorable by crafting a homemade handcrafted card filled with love.
Idea:
You could even copy and print one of the heart design pictures on this post and put it on a card for a simplified personalised card.
