"I Love You To Pieces" Valentine's Day Card - finished card standing on a tabletopThis is a cute and inexpensive Valentine's Day card you can make for your spouse, significant other, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.

I was able to make this card with items I already had at home - card stock, a Sharpie, stickers, scissors, and magazine scraps. You can also cut the pieces from scrapbook paper too if you'd like.

Yield: 1 card

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. My card measures 7" x 5" and then I folded it in half. With a scrap piece of paper I cut out a heart to fit the front of my card.
  2. "I Love You To Pieces" Valentine's Day Card - fold cardstock in half and cut a heart shape to fit on the front
     
  3. Using the heart I just cut out, I traced around the heart stencil with a Sharpie.
  4. "I Love You To Pieces" Valentine's Day Card - use heart shape as a stencil to trace around on the front of the card
     
  5. Browse your magazine(s) and cut assorted pieces of different colors. Then cut into smaller square size pieces. (Or you could use heart paper cutter if you would like, but I like the square look better).

  9. Keep applying glue stick as you layer on the pieces and continue until you like the outcome.
  10. "I Love You To Pieces" Valentine's Day Card - colorful squares of paper inside the heart outline
     
  11. You can handwrite your phrase, use alphabet cuttings from the magazine, or use alphabet stickers like I did. I put "I LOVE YOU TO PIECES" above the heart. Now the card is ready to have a handwritten message added to the inside.

Very cute ! We went one step further and put the cut-up pieces loose ''inside'' the card...so when you pull it out of the envelope...the ''pieces'' fluttered out..we kept the pieces somewhat big, and wrote love(heart) U ....so cleanup was EZ, lol
