This homemade Valentine card is simply sweet to put together. Put some sugar (or salt) in a plastic sandwich bag with a few drops of red food coloring. Using white or pink cardstock, draw a heart shape, fill it in with thin glue, then pour the colored sugar over it. Allow the glue to dry and tap lightly to shake off the excess. If you're feeling especially creative, experiment with using more than one color. Make the red colored heart on pink cardstock and when completely dry, add a thin line of glue around the heart and sprinkle with white sugar to outline it.
*Since the card will have to be handled gently after applying the sugar, complete the inside and any writing on the front of the card first.
STRIKE UP A CONVERSATION:
Doesn't everyone love conversation hearts? Here's a way to share them with your Valentine without worrying about diets or dental bills. Using a paper punch you can purchase at any craft store or online, cut out small heart shapes in various bright colors. Carefully write appropriate sayings on each heart to convey a personal message meant for your Valentine alone. Fold a piece of cardstock and glue the paper conversation hearts to the front of the card in random fashion, or arrange the hearts to look like the petals of a flower, or in the shape of a heart.
HEART OF MANY COLORS:
One of my favorite coloring activities as a kid was to color a paper with every bright crayon in the box, then cover it with black crayon that you could etch into to reveal the colors underneath. Bring back this simple, time-tested craft in a similar manner for Valentine's Day. Cut out a heart shape then color it completely with a psychedelic look of several random bright colors, everything except red. Take a dark red crayon and cover the other colors, pressing hard to get a thick layer. With a dull pencil or orange stick, carve your own initials and those of your Valentine, or some other appropriate sentiment.
What about the inside of the card? If you're at a loss for words, use someone else's! There are many free sites where you can copy romantic phrases or short poems that are appropriate for the mood of the day. One site with a large number to choose from is PoemsForFree.com. If you have nice handwriting, make it personal by penning it yourself; otherwise, type the phrase and print out in a pretty font befitting the occasion.
