Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards

DIY, holiday, Valentine's Day January 10, 2017

Do you remember when you were a kid and used to make homemade Valentine’s Day cards to pass out at school? Such care was taken to glue little heart-shaped doilies, buttons, and ribbons in place to make beautiful cards for your friends. It was a proud moment to share these original works of art and have the teacher praise you!  Keep this nostalgic feeling alive by making your own Valentine’s Day cards today. You can make them with or without children. They’re easy and fun! (This post contains affiliate links.)

How to Make Valentine's Day Cards
A word of warning … I made a lot of these little Valentine’s Day cards!

Hopefully the pictures will provide you with lots of inspiration for Valentine’s Day!

 

DIY Valentine's Day CardsI found these adorable, scalloped, square note cards in the craft section of our grocery store. They were plain white with matching envelopes. I decided then and there to decorate both the cards and their envelopes.

 

Handmade Valentine's Day CardsI cut circles out of scrapbook paper and glued them onto most of the cards.

 

DIY Vintage Valentine's CardsI had mini vintage cards from last year. Rather than glue them flat, I hot-glued a miniature white clothespin onto the note card and then clipped on the vintage Valentine to give it some dimension.

 

Handmade Valentine's Day Cards with Felt HeartsOn other cards, I simply used ribbon, felt hearts, and buttons; making a variety of patterns.

I planned on cutting hearts from felt, but at that same store I found felt heart stickers.

Who knew the grocery store has cool craft supplies?

 

DIY Valentine's Day Card GarlandIn order to take photos of the cards, I decided to string them up on my dresser.

 

Homemade Valentine's Day CardsI found pre-made decorative hearts at that same store. Good for me, this saved me time!

 

Homemade Valentine's Day CardsI have to admit, I had a lot of fun making my own homemade Valentine’s Day cards!

 

Making Homemade Valentine's Day CardsI made a bit of a mess on the kitchen island.

This photo doesn’t even show all the cards!

 

Handmade Valentine's Day Cards and EnvelopesI couldn’t stop with just the cards, could I? The envelopes got decorated, too!

 

Handmade Valentine's Day Cards and EnvelopesI used stamps and ink to decorate the envelopes, using a script stamp and a bird stamp.

 

Handmade Valentine's Day Cards and EnvelopesNow that I have all these homemade Valentine’s Day cards, who do I give them to?

    I love these! I know I’d much rather receive a hand crafted card over a store bought one. They make such a pretty display hanging and in your basket. You should go get more cards for Easter or other holidays!

    Oh, I love all your Valentines. One year I made home made Valentines for the nursing home close to where we live. I thought it would be fun for them to have on their dinner tray on V. Day. I never heard what they thought but it made me feel good anyway. I know at my MIL’s nursing home they get cards from children or groups occasionally. I just think that’s a nice thing for kids of all ages to do. Just saying……..in case you can’t stop making those darling Valentines, this would give you another excuse.

    How darling, YOU MUST HAVE A FANTASTIC GROCERY STORE, oops, didn’t mean to do all capitals, but I’m too lazy to fix it. I was looking at the red heart garland and thought that would be cute for Christmas too. I know red hearts are used often in Swedish Yule decor. I love your creativity.

    Your Valentines are darling! Two years ago my daughter needed to do a project for a college class and she decided on making Valentines for a nursing home. We made 48…it was so much fun and they came out great! Makes me want to dig out some craft supplies and make some again…… Thanks for the inspiration! karen…
