Do you make cards for Valentines Day? Sometimes I do, time permitting, and this year I had time to play with these gorgeous papers, stamps, and stickers. So, whether you celebrate Valentines Day or not here are a few ideas for some quick cards to make and give your loved ones on the 14th or anytime of year.
It doesn't have to take a lot of supplies to make cards. I recommend using a kit or a collection because your paper, stickers, and sentiments all coordinate. I have four kids, so I wanted to make each of them a card. I started with kraft cardstock as my card base on all of them, layered pattern paper and added these wonderful stickers or stamped images.

Starting with the top card on the left it's for my hubby. I layered several pattern papers, added some stickers, bakers twine, and a touch of black to make his card more masculine. The top center is my daughters card and it's all pink and glittery. I layered pattern papers, stickers, and a silver glitter ribbon at the top. These two cards had NO stamping!
The top right card is the butterfly card I shared with you last week, all the instructions are "here." All of these top cards are 5x7" when finished.
And lastly all the cards in the front are for my three son's. I kept theirs masculine with more layers of red, hearts, stickers, and twine. They are 3x4" finished. So whether you make cards or buy cards, I hope I've given you some quick ideas to show your loved ones some love. ~Kim
