Best DIY Valentine's Day greeting card ideas
1. 3-D Greeting Cards
Make your own 3D Valentine's Day cards by folding coloured cardstock into the shape of the cards and adding pop-up hearts, spiral flowers, and love birds. Cut and fold a heart shape so that it pops out when the card opens for the pop-up heart. Roll up some paper tightly to create a spiral rose, then glue it on the front of the card. To symbolize love, cut out and decorate two bird shapes to perch on the card. To make it the ideal Valentine's Day surprise, add sentimental notes or glitter inside.
2. Vegetable Watercolor Valentine's Card
With a creative phrase and a hand-painted card, show them how much you care. On the front of blank note cards, draw a loose watercolour picture of fruits or veggies and write clever phrases like "You are Rooted in My Heart," "Olive You," and "I Love You From My Head Tomatoes."
