Valentine's Day Card Ideas

I was feeling creative today so I decided to making Valentine's Day Cards for friends, family and I better not forget my boyfriend too!

I kept it simple and used bits and bobs I had around the house already. Here is how I did it in case it gives you some inspiration to make your own home made Valentine's Cards!

What you will need

How to make 

Valentine's Day Card Ideas

I used the glass to trace circles on to the decorative paper. The lip of the glass was larger than the base which let me trace two different sized circles. Then I simply arranged these circles and stuck a few stickers on the smaller of the two and wrote Happy Valentine's Day !

Saying thank you

Saying thank you this Christmas

One of the wonderful things about gift giving and receiving over Christmas is the opportunity to say thank you to all those who have given you thoughtful gifts. I love sending and receiving post and find a hand-made card gives a personal touch that a text or email seems to lack. This year I have decided to try my hand at calligraphy for the first time. 

I still need practice but I am hoping to incorporate calligraphy in my thank you cards this year. 

What do you guys think? Has post become a thing of the past? Do you still get excited about getting a letter in the mail that isn't a bill ?

Maybe I am just old fashioned!
