Q&A for How to Make Cards for Valentine's Day

Giving someone a Valentine's card is all about showing that you care. If you have a store-bought card, make sure to fill it out with a thoughtful message or personal doodle, and don't forget to decorate the envelope. You can also add stickers, washi tape, or hand-letter your name onto the envelope to make the card look great!

You can try using a ruler since its safe but the first time you try it , it probably might not come out right, so don't worry about trying it a couple of times until you get it right.

When I was a child, I fancied a book of colorful construction paper, scissors, glue, and markers. I would choose a sheet of construction paper to be the base of the card and would use the scissors to make it smaller if I wanted. Then I would either pick another sheet and cut shapes from it to glue onto the base, or just decorate with the markers. Glue sticks are pretty ideal for this as they're not very messy and you won't get too much glue on your card.

I recommend using hearts and smiley faces, and telling your cousin how much you appreciate them. Maybe you could attach a lollipop or their favorite candy to the card.

Add some colorful designs, attach a small piece of candy, or even write a poem, it is mostly up to you. Try going with a different color scheme besides the normal white, pink, and red. Try purple and blue or something like that.

Try leaving it in his locker or in a place you know he’ll see it. If you can get close enough, try slipping it into his folder or bag. Make sure you don't include any telltale signs that you made it, such as a nickname or inside joke, and maybe change your handwriting if you think he might recognize yours.

Try searching Pinterest or doing a Google Image search with "homemade Valentine cards" as your search term.

You could add a bag of pretzels, nuts, or maybe even a small bag of trail mix. Otherwise, just write a nice note in the card, and maybe draw a picture as well.

Well, if you have different colored pens, you can doodle little hearts, cupids, etc and write a romantic message. If not, a poem that you wrote yourself might help you win your crush's heart.

Make or buy a card, fill it with what you want to say, and send it/give it to her.

You can use any type of paper you have around. It will all work fine!

Write a nice message inside and draw Cupid, hearts, flowers, and whatever other designs you like. You could also buy some fake flowers and glue them onto the card.

That’s a great idea! If you both love Steven Universe, you are right, it would be meaningful to him. Go for it.

Start by drawing things that he/she loves. You can also attach his/her favorite candy. Avoid putting ¨I love you¨ on the card, as it can come off as too much. If you are feeling brave, you could even ask them out in your card!

Nothing happens until you get some more.

A small, personal gift would be fine if you're in school. A gift is a really thoughtful Valentine's Day message. He'd probably love it. If you're not in school, you can give him any gift he'd like!

Valentine cards are traditionally red or pink, but the color of the paper won't matter as much as the sentiment expressed.
