How to Make Your Valentine’s Card
Step-by-Step Instructions
Print & Cut Out the Card Elements
Print the Valentine’s Card template on thick paper or cardstock. Once printed, carefully cut along the outer edges of both the bouquet design and the paper wrap.
Fold the Paper Wrap
Follow the dashed fold lines on the template to create the envelope-like bouquet holder. A ruler can help guide your folds for a neater finish. If you don’t have a bone folder, the dull side of a butter knife works just as well.
Assemble the Bouquet Wrap
Apply glue or double-sided tape along the inner “V” of the paper wrap and press the bouquet inside, securing it in place. To keep the flaps neatly closed around the bouquet, slide a small paperclip over the folded edges—both a practical touch and a subtle detail that complements the handmade charm of the card.
Personalise Your Card with a Love Note
The finishing touch? Your words. A heartfelt message makes all the difference, whether it's romantic, sentimental, or simply kind.
Finding the Right Words:
Whether soft, deep, or quietly romantic, a short poem can turn a Valentine’s card into something unforgettable. Here are a few ideas to share with someone special.
For a Romantic Partner
"The years have shaped us, soft and slow,
Like rivers carve the earth below.
Yet here we stand, still hand in hand,
Still writing love notes in the sand."
For a Friend
"No chocolate, no hearts, no grand display,
Just a quiet note to say—
You are a gift, a light, a spark,
A friend who brightens up the dark."
For a Grandparent
"Your hands have held a thousand days,
Your heart has loved in quiet ways.
If love is taught, then this is true—
I know it well because of you."
For a Secret Crush
"I don’t need the moon to glow,
Or roses lined up in a row.
Just tell me once, and I will stay—
Did you think of me today?"
