Posts Tagged ‘Valentine cards’

I’m the type of person who, instead of buying a card, would rather spend the additional money on the gift.  That being said, when I do send cards, I make my own.  I design Christmas cards every year and special cards for special events.

Of course the best cards are the ones made by your own children.  Nothing beats a childish scrawl that says “I love you Mommy”!

The best Valentines are made by someone who loves you!

If you want to send something really personal, make your own Valentine’s Day cards—write your own Love Letters.

I  do mosaic pieces with old book or magazine pages.  The ideas are limitless with a little paper, glue and a copy machine.

For Love According to Webster I enlarged the definition of love I found in a dictionary, cut card stock to fit and glued it to the front.  With a red pen, I quoted Elizabeth Barrett Browning “How do I love thee…?”

"Love According to Webster"

Enlarge the definition of Love from the dictionary

For Let Me Tell You the Ways I used the same dictionary definition, just enlarged it a couple more times and cut individual words out.  Glue them in a particular order or randomly.  Choose words that are appropriate for the person receiving the card.  A little glue stick on red card stock and you has an original work of art!

"Let me tell you the ways!"

Cut out the love words that are appropriate
