I made you a Valentine card.
I don't think there are sweeter words to be spoken on Valentine's Day! My husband once made me a Valentine card and I responded very poorly, never to receive a handmade card ever again. Don't make my mistake, if you are presented with a handmade card!
This card had a little help from an app called Waterlogue and my daughter, although she doesn't know it yet. I was checking out her Instagram feed and saw this picture of a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I snapped a quick picture of it with my phone, downloaded and cropped it with my picture app, then uploaded it to Waterlogue, which made a watercolor painting of it. To get your printable copy of the card go to Valentine Card. It will look like what you see below.
With a little tech magic from a friend, we turned it into this lovely card, which, you can have for free. If you choose to use it, you will need to get a 4" by 6" envelope to put it in. It is so simple to make.
Print it off. 1. Fold it like a hamburger bun (teacher talk for a fold that is wider than it is longer) and then fold again, with the "I love you" in the inside. Sign it, address the outside, then put the card on the inside. Wa-La! you are done!
There you go!
Awww.... arent homemade items the best? Really. Such thought and love in the DIY process. And as much as I love some fun bling (wink)... I also truly value those handmade and creative gifts.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet card! I really need to get colored ink for my printer soon because this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteAwh that's ever so sweet! I love how it's turned out - the colours on it are so bright as well! I'm sure your husband will adore it:) And maybe will give you one as well :)) xx
ReplyDeleteAww, it's beautiful! I love the watercolor look. If my printer weren't leaving streaks down the whole page when it printed anything, I'd totally print this!
ReplyDeleteI love this homemade card! That's the best kind of card, in my opinion, because you can make it more personal to the person you are giving it to than you can with something from the store.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun printable! Love it. I agree handmade cards are the best. I used to make them all the time, now I rarely find time.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome to have, especially if you forget to buy a card at the store! No one will know its last minute!
ReplyDeleteI love when they have put a little thought and work into something they give! I makes it that much more meaningful!
ReplyDeleteAw I love hand made cards! So sweet that it was one of your daughter's photos!
ReplyDeleteAw, this is very sweet and thoughtful! I need to get a Valentine's Day card for my husband soon. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable! I love making cards that are personal like this.
ReplyDeleteI love the watercolor look of this card! I wish i had a color printer so I could give this out!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! That is really lovely, I love homemade cards and prefer them over store bought any day. this is so lovely, I'm sure he will appreciate it and love it! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card for anyone to enjoy! Thanks for making it a free printable too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful printable card! It would be so easy to print this and be all set for Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteAwe! If my husband was thoughtful enough to make handmade cards I would love. Hi isn't though. LOL.
ReplyDeleteOmg sweetest card ever!!! I'm all about anything Homemade! So much effort goes into those types of gifts that they truly have meaning!
ReplyDeleteI love anything that's homemade! Just goes to show how much effort someone's put in for you :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful card!! I love handmade gifts and those look like watercolor peonies...hands down fave flower. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much. My family always exchanges cards and it can be so hard to find good ones. I don't know why card companies assume families don't tell each other they care until V-day. Homemade cards are the best and this is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, love it. Thanks for sharing, my niece is going to love this idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Homemade is so much better than a store bought card
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!!!! I would love to receive one or give one to a good friend! Handmade cards are so special to me!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade cards. Growing up we used to make coupon books too and I can't wait to build up my own collection.
ReplyDeleteI prefer handmade cards over store-bought ones ANY day. Even if they are just scribbled on a piece of paper. Those are the ones I keep.
ReplyDeleteI love getting cards and letters from my husband. One of my love languages is words of affirmation and a little note can really make my day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cool idea! As a photographer, I could see myself using this for sure. I will be telling all my clients about this. Great idea for anniversarys too!
ReplyDeleteStunning image! About your story...I would be so giddy if my husband ever gave me a handmade card, I don't think I would know what to do with myself.
