Create Your Own DIY Valentine’s Day Card
Finding the perfect card for that special someone is always hard. Big name brands often don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, so why not save yourself some time and frustration and create your own Valentine’s card this year? Creating your own Valentine’s card is a great way to bring your vision to life for that special someone. Who else will know the best inside joke to include in the card? To make your own Valentine’s card, you will need:
- Cardstock
- Valentine’s rubber stamp
- Colored pencils
- Glue
Simply fold your cardstock in half, making sure that the paper lays flat. Then, stamp your chosen design, maintaining firm pressure on the stamp to ensure a crisp, clear impression. Finally, grab your colored pencils and add your finishing touches. You’re sure to make a beautiful, meaningful Valentine’s Day card for your special someone.
If you have some artwork that you’d like to turn into a card, you can also do that! All you need to do is upload your artwork to our custom stamp designer, choose the size stamp you want, and place your order. Your artwork is easily turned into a beautiful stamp. You still can create meaningful, personalized cards, but you can do so faster and with a piece of art you love.
Make Personalized Gift Tags
You don’t need to stop at Valentine’s cards, though. You can easily create fun, unique gift tags for all your candy-gifting needs. Best part? This is a low mess craft, so grab your kids and let them join you! Crafting is always more fun when it’s filled with laughter, creativity, and loved ones. To make your own Valentine’s gift tags, you will need:
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Ribbon
- To / From stamp
- Colored pencils
To start, cut the cardstock into the shape and size you want (a heart is a classic for obvious reasons). Next, stamp your design onto the gift tag. Make sure to include the “To” and “From” stamp, so you can easily distinguish who each gift is for. Once you’ve finished stamping, start coloring the design in and write in the names for “To” and “From”. To finish it off, use the hole punch to create a hole in the gift tag and slide a ribbon through it. If you don’t have a ribbon, you can easily tape the gift tag to any candy packages or gifts that you or your kids will be handing out.
Conclusion
Take this as your sign to plan a crafty afternoon with kids, turn on your favorite music, and let the creativity flow. Valentine’s Day is a great time to put your own personal twist on gifts and let your friends, family, and special someone know how much you care.
