Make This Simple Handmade Valentine Card!
I made this card in less than an hour and only used some patterned scrap paper that I had on hand. I loved making this card because it is so versatile. I trimmed the edges of a tri-fold card so that both romantic patterns would be visible when the card is completely folded.This card is uniquely romantic because none of the patterns are actually meant for "romance" or Valentine's Day - they are other patterns that I had randomly.
An Anniversary Card that could also be an adorable Valentine Card
I made this card recently for my fiancee to celebrate our 3-year Anniversary. I chose to write "Baby Doll" to adorn the front of this card because it's a silly nickname that I have for him.This card was super easy to make and turned out really cute - no crazy embellishments - just paper! The design could certainly be used for a Valentine's Day card.
