How to Make a Valentines Day Card
Step 1
Write a message in white pencil, then paint over it with watercolor. Get a sheet of white cardstock or watercolor paper. Write a simple message using a white crayon or white grease pencil. Paint over the entire paper using watercolor. The message will show through the paint!
Instead of painting the entire page, paint a heart shape instead. Make sure that the heart is big enough to cover the entire message.
For a fancier card, draw heart shapes around the message using a white crayon or white grease pencil.
The paper must be white or the watercolor won't show up.
Step 2
Paint watercolor hearts, then write messages in them with black marker. Fold a sheet of cardstock or watercolor paper in half to make a card. Paint a heart using watercolor, then let it dry. Use a black felt-tipped pen to write a message inside the heart.
Use more than 1 color of paint to create am ombre or tie dye design.
Feel free to outline the heart with the marker, or draw additional details, such as spirals, zigzags, or mini hearts.
Write a simple message, such as "I <3 U" or "Be Mine".
Step 3
Use heart-shaped cookie cutters and paint to stamp designs. Fold a sheet of cardstock or watercolor paper in half to make a card. Paint a rectangle with watercolor on the front, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) border all around. Let the paint dry, then dip a heart-shaped cookie cuter into acrylic paint. Press the cookie cutter against the card to create a heart-shaped outline.
Use Valentine's day colors for the watercolor and acrylic paint, such as red, white, pink, or purple. Use contrasting colors for the acrylic paint to help the heart stand out.
You can create as many hearts as you want. You can even use large, medium, and small cookie cutters. Overlap the hearts for a more interesting design.
Step 4
Use glitter and glue to create a sparkly card. Fold a sheet of cardstock in half to make a card. Draw a heart with white school glue, then shake red or pink glitter onto it. Tap the excess glitter off and let it write. Write a message with white school glue, then add more glitter. Shake the excess glitter off and let it dry as well.
Keep the message simple, such as "I love you."
For a less-sparkly card, write the message using a gold or silver marker.
Decorate the card with rhinestones or sequins for a fancier effect.
Step 5
Cut a sponge into a heart, then use it as a stamp. Get a flat sponge (not a sea sponge) and cut it into a large heart. Dip it into acrylic craft paint, poster paint, or tempera paint. Lightly tape the sponge against a sheet of cardstock, then remove the sponge and let the paint dry. Write your message on the paper or on the heart itself.
Choose a Valentine's day color for the paint, such as red, prink, or purple. If your cardstock is colored, then you can use white paint.
Sprinkle some glitter onto the paint before it dries for a sparkly effect.
Write the message with a marker. You can also use more paint and a thin, pointed paintbrush.
