DIY Valentine’s Cards

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and these simple but cute DIY Valentine’s cars with fabric cut outs are just what you need to make!

Valentine’s Day is a sweet time where we emphasis love and how much we love our friends and family. This year I am making it a point as a homemaker and mom to really cultivate my love for my family. One way that I am doing this is with these DIY Valentine’s cards.

It is more traditional for the husband to give something to the wife, but I want to write him at least one card this Valentine’s season letting him know how much I love him, but more importantly how much I respect him.

I also am planning to write my little ones a card, too as well as do some other fun things with them like make…

• Valentine’s Crafts
• Valentine’s Cookies
• Valentine’s Gifts
• Valentine’s Basket

There are so many ways to show love this Valentine’s season, but spending time with those that you love is probably the biggest. As a mom, it can be hard to want to spend extra time doing something special with your children when you already spend most of your energy serving them already. Making sweet memories with them is something that they will enjoy no matter what it is that you end up doing.

Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity for us to really cultivate our love for others. One way the you can do this is by writing them a sweet note in your own DIY Valentine’s card!

How to Make a Homemade Valentine’s Card

You will need:

• Blank Cards or Cardstock
• A Small Piece of Fabric
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Glue
• Papertowel/Scrap Paper – This is to put under the fabric so that you don’t get glue everywhere so anything will work.
• Sponge – Something to spread the glue around.

Instructions:

• Prepare the card. Fold your card and crease it so it lays nice and flat. You can also cut your card in half to make smaller cards.
• Cut out the heart. To make the heart, fold your piece of fabric in half. Trace the shape of half of a heart along the fold so that the fold divides the heart in half. Cut along the line that you drew. Then unfold the heart to see if you like the shape of it.

• Glue on the heart. Place the heart on the paper towel with the wrong side up. Drizzle on some glue and spread it around with the sponge until the whole heart is covered adding more glue as needed. Make sure you apply the glue on the back side of the fabric (if there is a difference. Some fabric looks the same on both sides.) and not on the side of the heart that you want to see when you’re done with the card. After applying the glue, flip the heart over and stick it on to your card smoothing out the wrinkles.
• Let the glue dry. Place the card in a spot where it can dry overnight. Check it in the morning for any edges that are sticking up and glue them back down. Don’t forget to let the card dry again if you apply more glue.

Now your DIY Valentine’s card is ready for you to write a sweet note or quote inside! Wishing you a lovely Valentines Day!
