How to Make a Valentines Day Card

Are you tired of giving the same tired Valentines day cards? This guide will show you how to make a Valentines Day Card that you can be proud of. Follow these 3 simple steps to make a card that your valentines sweetheart will remember.

Introduction

One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to show someone you care is by making them a Valentines day card. By following these 3 simple and unsponsored steps, you'll be able to make the most of Valentines day by learning how to make a valentines day card.

How many times have you seen a manufactured rack card and thought to yourself that you wish it said something just a little bit different or could mean a little more to the person you were giving it to? Professionally printed gift cards can be a romantic, sweet and nice Valentines day present. However, there are few things in life that can mean as much as those that are hand made. By making a Valentines day gift card with love and affection, you're passing those feelings on through the Valentines day card itself.

Required Materials:

  1. Paper
  2. A Good Quality Pen
  3. A Computer Printer
  4. A ruler and scissors

Step 1: Purchase The Correct Paper

  1. Visit your local office supply store. Check out our Staples Coupons page before you go to save money.
  2. Some office supply stores have scrapbook sections or sell paper in individual sheets
  3. Purchase a low quantity of 20 to 25 pound colored paper. Red, pink and cream work very well.
  4. Purchase a low quantity of card stock. Plain white works well but any color that looks good with your thin paper choice above will work well.

Step 2: Print a Message

  1. For a professional, but hand made look, compose a message on your computer in a word publishing program.
  2. A simple, short message works well.
  3. Place the inside thin 20lb paper in the printer and print your message.
  4. Don't type everything or it may not look home made. A cute or romantic caption is all that is required.

Step 3: Cut and Fold

  1. Greeting cards are not usually 8.5x11 paper folded in half. Trim your card so that it is slightly smaller.
  2. Fold the piece of paper in half. Take note of your pre-printed message.
  3. Fold the piece of paper again from the opposed side, this time using the ruler to press the edge.

Step 4: Inscribe and Decorate

  1. Using a pen, write your own special message.
  2. If you are artistic, make some nice looking doodles and drawings on the card
  3. Combine those drawings with tactful, love related stickers.
  4. Sometimes the best adult stickers can be found in the scrapbook department of your local grocery store.
