Creating Cards for Valentine's Day

What Valentine’s Day is known for is the sweet nothings people say and the gifts one receives. Most of the gifts you will receive will also come with cards, and it always means more when the card is handmade.
To make a handmade card there are certain things you will need if you want it to look professionally made (or at least something someone would wanna keep on their wall).
First off, you will need to understand your design so that you can buy the proper materials. For a simple card you will need:

Cardstock
Envelopes
Scissors
Markers (Colored and black to outline)
Foam tape
Glue
Scrapbooking paper
Ruler
A general idea of the direction you want to go in.

To start you will need to figure out what you want to do and the relationship that you’re going to be focusing on. If it’s a relationship with your boss, your sorority sister, your best friend or your significant other, there are appropriate things to say for each relationship, so try to figure out what you’re going to say before you start. Here are examples for each relationship. Feel free to watch the video and then refer below for help if you don’t understand what’s happening in the video.

Sorority sister card:  “I love you a Latte”

Draw and color your latte on a sheet of cardstock
Outline it
Cut it out
Figure out where you will place it on your card and mark center
Write out “I love you a Latte”
Cut foam strips and place late on card.

Card to your Boss:  “Boss Lady”

Cut out paper to fit dimensions of card
Outline words with pencil letters
Color words
Glue scrapbooking paper to card.

Best Friend Card:  “That’s a Horrible Idea”

Outline phone
Cut out phone
Choose where to place, and mark (use ruler)

Use these ideas, or figure something else out for yourself, but if you ever need help, the video will always be here. Hopefully, your significant other or whomever will love your card. Be proud! You did it!
