Several self-designed Valentine's Day cards made from kraft paper with red wooden hearts and hand-drawn motifs lie next to two black fineliners.

Minimalist with Heart

Sometimes less is more! Design your Valentine's Day card with simple heart motifs and combine them with a handwritten message. Use watercolors, colored pencils, or a gold marker for a special accent.

Quick and Original

You don't need to spend a lot of material or time to create a beautiful Valentine's Day card. Often, a few basic utensils like paper, pens, stickers, or stamps are enough to design a card full of heart.

Not Just for Valentine's Day

Homemade cards with hearts are not only a wonderful idea for Valentine's Day! Whether for a birthday, anniversary, Mother's Day, or just to say "thank you" – heartfelt cards can be adapted to any occasion.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1

Punch out hearts from construction paper

Mit einem Motivstanzer werden kleine rote Papierherzen ausgestanzt, die später zur Gestaltung von Valentinstagskarten verwendet werden.

Step 2

Draw decorative elements with the fineliner.

Mit einem schwarzen Fineliner werden feine Linien auf eine Kraftpapierkarte gezeichnet, auf die später rote Papierherzen aufgeklebt werden.

Step 3

Attach the hearts with adhesive pads for a raised effect.

Mit Klebepads werden rote Papierherzen auf einer Kraftpapierkarte befestigt und erhalten so einen dekorativen 3D-Effekt.

Step 4

Choose and attach a gold lettering.

Zum Abschluss wird eine Valentinstagskarte aus Kraftpapier mit roten Papierherzen und einem Schriftsticker liebevoll verziert.
