For me there is something special about making something personal for Valentines Day. We don’t tend to go overboard but a little card and present shows that you care, and if you can make that card personal then so much the better.
This week I was sent a box of crafty things from Bostik to make some Valentines crafts and the first thing I made was this cute Valentines Day card. It was really easy to make and my daughter loved helping me so it was a great family activity. I love how the photos bring back memories of how when we were younger we would have photos taken in photo booths where they would print a strip of different photos. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one old enough to remember that!
You will need…
A card and envelope
Decorative paper
Bostik White Glu
Bostik Glu Dots
Card to make a template for the photos
3 photos of yourself
Black Pen
First cut the decorative paper to size for the front of the card. I left a little gap at the top to write a Valentines message. Stick down using the white glue.
Next use the glue to stick the photos to the back of the photo strip template. Then glue this onto the front of the card at a jaunty angle using the glu dots!
Write a little message on the front using the black pen and there you have it – a personalised photo valentines card for the love of your life.
If you find video tutorials easier to follow, I have made a little DIY tutorial video on my YouTube channel…
