Homemade cards are kinda my thing. I’ve always loved making little paper collages and pairing them with a few simple words (I guess it’s no surprise I ended up blogging?). So needless to say, Valentine’s Day is basically my high holy day of card making…
The great thing here is that there are no rules. I literally had all of this stuff just crammed into my closet, so the fun is in how you mix and match things. Sure you can go all out and buy fancy papers and decorations, but a little bit of resourcefulness goes a long way. Rip pages out of magazines, crumple up your tissue paper to give it a pretty wrinkled effect, even cut a picture from a beautiful book (before you lose it on this one – I own 2 of these books, one for enjoying in full and one for clipping as I wish). I find the more layers and textures you can add the better the end result. And inside? Keep it short and sweet and let the card (and perhaps your love this Valentine’s Day) make the statement.
