DIY Valentine Cards

Simple DIY Valentine Cards

This Valentine’s Day give your loved one something that comes from your heart, and your hands, with this simple DIY Valentine Cards craft.

This Valentine Card is not your ordinary gift. The presentation comes in a blush pink box and when your sweetheart opens it, several cards and mementos will pop up – a true explosion Valentine’s experience! You can purchase this explosion box, here.

Ready to craft?! Let’s get started.

First, gather your favorite photos and sentimental items. Think about including movie or concert tickets, a pressed flower from a special date night, or a brochure from a recent trip.

Once you’ve gathered your materials, next organize pieces from this DIY Valentine Card kit and choose which paper cutouts you’d like to use.

Now it’s time to decorate! Start gluing your pictures and mementos to various parts of the unfolded box. We recommend utilizing a few of the envelopes as well so your sweetheart can have multiple items to open.

Once you’re satisfied with your presentation, let the glue dry. After the glue dries, it’s time to fold up your box! Start from the center and fold inward within each layer. Once you get to the last layer, use one hand to fold all sides of the box and the other hand to place the lid on top. The lid is what keeps your box together, so make sure it’s fitted properly.

Add a bow and you’re done! We know your Valentine will feel special by this handcrafted gift. We’d love to see their reaction; tag us on Instagram so we can join the fun.
