A gift can hold much more sentimental value if it’s made from the heart. Making a lovely card is a perfect way to let that special someone know how much they mean to you. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, why not show some love with a quick and easy DIY Valentine’s Day card project?

Craft supplies:

• cardstock
• doilies
• black and white photographs
• tacky glue
• red and white string
• thin black sharpie

Directions:

1. Decide the template of the card: simply fold the cardstock in half for a standard look or use a 5” x 8” piece.
2. Place ¾ of one of the doilies in the front of the card and adhere with glue.
3. Create a sophisticated “photo booth effect” by combining black and white photos for a vintage look and glue them in a pattern of your choosing. 
4. You can decorate your card using a thin permanent marker with Valentine’s Day quotes or leave it plain and simple with a meaningful message inside.
5. Twist the red and white string together to create a candy cane-esque look. Then wrap the combined string around the card and tie with a bow!
