Print your own card – I had a little extra time to whip up two cards that are free to download and print! The “Your love means the world to me” flower card measures 3.5 x 5 inches and the diagonal label card that reads “Thoughts for you, my love, on Valentine’s Day” measures 4 x 6 inches. There are two versions of the flower card, one with the flowers printed on the cover and the other with the flowers printed on the side. The side flowers are there so you can cut them out separately and adhere them with foam tape for a 3-dimensional look (like in the photo). Enjoy!

Handmade Stamps – I’ve always liked stamps, but I’m pretty picky about the few I end up buying. I need to know I’ll use them again and again. Heart and love stamps can be particularly useful, from cards and envelopes to gift wrap and fabric. Here are a couple fun ideas and tutorials to make your own, or you could buy one handmade.
