I love LOVE! Valentine's Day is, well, a day to do the things for loved ones that we should be doing all year long anyway. The price tag means nothing. But the fact you take time to share a thankful heart for those wonderful special people is key. So, go ahead, be the first to say I Love You.
I did just that with a simple little card. Using glitter print paper, embelish with matching ribbon, brads and a special message.

Here is a close up of how the embellishement looked, just making a couple changes from one card to the next.

Here is the second version, with a slight change to the message background. I had so much fun making these...simple, effective and pretty too!

Accessories: Printed glitter paper, brads, cupid confetti, metal labels, white and red card stock.

Card Making with Children Idea

My two grandaughters love to make cards when they visit. I have a box that stores all my duplicate and left over cut outs....very fun stuff!
Here's an idea...Have ready some pre-cut images to choose from with cards, cordinating color schemes and a few accessories like ribbon, tags or brads. For this project, I picked dragonflys and a theme of "giving".

 The black background makes the white and yellow pop with definition. Use the extra cut outs for additional cards with a slightly different look, like this one. Even make use of the punch-out portions of the designs for embellishments on the inside of the cards and envelopes. This saves a lot of time and money while adding a very coordinated look!
