Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it’s time to stress out about what you are going to get your loved ones this year. Giving gifts may seem like a challenging task considering that each one of your friends has a different personality. However, there is a simply solution: making them a gift. This holiday is not about the amount of gifts that you give or get, it is about showing the people you love how much you care about them. Making them a card from the heart could really brighten up your friend’s day because it shows that you care enough to take the time out of your day to make them a gift. You don’t have to be an artist to create incredible cards if you use some of these helpful tips.

Simple can be beautiful

You might feel like this card has to be a modern day Van Gogh, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes a simple card with dainty little hearts or a funny pun can bring a smile to your loved one’s faces.

Add a pop of color

You can never go wrong with a brightly colored card for one of your more outgoing friends. Step out of your color comfort zone and the cards could be bright and fun.

Use different utensils

Try using multiple mediums to design the card. You can use watercolor paint to add some flair or even something as simple as a flowery border can add some excitement.

Don’t stress about it

It doesn’t have to be the greatest card you have ever made because most likely your friend will love it no matter what, since it came from you. Don’t stress out about the card and just have some fun with it.
