Looking for a different way to show you partner your love? Giving gifts and receiving gifts is just fantastic.
But wouldn't you like to make the card special? Especially on Valentines Day, it is all in the card.
Commercial cards are cute, some fancy and even some are sexy but do they say exactly what you want to say? Do they really convey your innermost thoughts? How about a special treat of making your own card for your Valentine this year? Come on, it is not as hard as you think.
Ok, so you are not a poet.
Neither am I, but you don't have to sit for hours trying to come up with your own beautiful rhymes to make your own card.
What you can do is take the tried and true prose from historical greats like Longfellow or maybe the beautiful words of Tennyson.
Trust me, how do you think professional card making companies do it? Just add your words to their words and wow your Valentine.
So you have your words and now you need the card itself.
You don't' have to hire an artist to draw something beautiful for you, and you don't have to be that talented either.
Creativity is the key here.
Again, the big commercial card making companies will very often borrow phrases and ideas.
These are options if you don't happen to have the artist's gift yourself.
There are lots of programs that are either free or low cost right here on the internet.
You can pick and choose your own words and graphics and put them together.
With just a little effort on your part, you can put the card together and print it on your own printer.
Just in case you don't have a printer, save the disk and take it to a local office superstore that will print it for you.
No problem.
If you have some talent or you just enjoy crafts, you can produce a beautiful card.
Ready, let's get started.
Gather the materials you need to get going.
You need some colored card stock.
Your local craft store or your local Wal-Mart has plenty of that.
You can choose plain paper or fancy paper with designs on it.
You need markers, scissors, glue sticks, embellishments and letters for starters.
You may want to use flowers or roses or just draw something freehand.
Either way, you make is special when it is hand crafted by you.
The sky is the limit.
Just express yourself! Your special valentine is probably not expecting a card done especially by you.
Show how much you care and go that extra mile.
Let both your gift and your special card show just how much love you have.
