How to Make Valentine's Cards

Hello everyone!

Soon it will be February and therefore Valentine's Day.
And a good option is to give away little cards as a sign of our love for others.
This time we will make our own cards in which can participate our little ones.





For this activity we will need the following:

Materials:

  • Construction paper (red & pink)
  • White paper (bond)
  • Stickers (or any embellishment we have at home)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Glue or glue stick
  • Scissors

How to do it:

  • First thing we need to do is print any image we like on bond paper. (I printed the phrase "Happy Valentine's Day", but can be whatever you like it more).

  • We will draw and cut a rectangle on the construction paper (pink or red)  with a card measures. (I cut different sizes of cards. 4 x 6, 3 x 5, & 3 x 3).But this depends on the size you want your cards to be. 
  • You're going to cut the phrases you printed on the bond paper, (as shown in the picture).

  • Now we will fold in half the construction paper to make our Valentine's card.
  • Then, we'll glue the white paper (with the printed phrase) on our card.

  • Then we'll start decorating our card with stickers or any paper embellishment that we find at home. I used a paper trim that I had bought last year at the dollar store.

  •  For the stickers to have a 3D effect, you can put a little piece of foamy before you attach the sticker to the card.

  • And presto! When you finish adding all the details you want, you'll have a beautiful Valentine's card!
  • Here I leave other cards that my little daughter and I made, to her classmates and the teacher. 
  • And remember!!! The imagination is endless; you just have to dare to create a new project!!!



Happy Valentine's Day in company of your loved ones!
Kisses and more kisses from Julieta!!!

Thanks for visiting my blog and until next time!
