Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. Hearts, pink, chocolate and candy, and cards. It also helps when your birthday is the week before, so it just seems part of the whole celebration of February.

Today, I am sharing a few Valentine cards that were made one cold January day. Images are a variety of old vintage postcards that were printed out on to matte cardstock, paper doilies, heart foam stickers, button, and other ephemera.

The cards are basic and easy to assemble, but more could be added (Stickles and glitter, sewing, etc.) to make them an heirloom.

These little Valentine cards are a cinch to create and the variations open to the imagination.

(1) I first glued pink pattern paper to a white blank card base. Next, I glued little doilies on to Kraft envelopes (Amazon) folding and tucking on the backside.

(2) Using double sided tape, glue down a paper doily heart on the card base. Glue the Kraft envelope overlapping on top.

(3) Red glitter hearts (Dollar tree), buttons, and digital printout Valentine tickets (Etsy) adorn the envelope fronts.

(4) Print out images and ephemera to tuck inside the envelope.

You can add more to your card (Stickles, glitter etc.) if you wish!
