Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Decorations are up, candy is on sale, and of course there is lots of pink and red everywhere. One of the funnest things about Valentine's Day is making cards to give to friends, so today we will be getting crafty.
Supplies Needed
- 1 Template (either colored or black & white)
- Scissors
- Tape
- Glue
- Coloring tools (optional)
- Sticker (optional)
There are two templates to choose from. One template is black & white, while the other is colored.
I made the black & white template in case you had a black & white printer, or if you wanted to color the envelope or card yourself. The colored one can be used with a colored printer.
Colored Template
Black & White Template:
Step 1: Print out the template you desire on a piece of paper. I used regular copy paper, but you are welcome to print this on card stock. To print the image, right click the template you want and than click on
print. If you cannot do this, click on
open image in new tab, than right click again and click on
print. You can also right click on the image, click on
open link, and then click on
print. If you have any issues printing, please comment down below and I can try to fix the problem, and figure it out.
Step 2: Cut out all of the parts with scissors (Letter, Front of Envelope, Back of Envelope, and stamps)
Note: If you are using the Black & White Template you can color it in now.
Step 3: Cut out the triangle on the Back of the Envelope
Step 4: Tape the sides of the Front & Back Envelope together. (Do not tape the top sides together, just the bottom and left and right sides).
Step 5: Tape the triangle to the top of the envelope. Tape only the top side of the triangle to the top side of the front of the envelope. This should allow the triangle to move up and down like a flap on a regular envelope.
Step 6: Put the Letter into the envelope (
Optional: You can seal the envelope with a sticker if you would like)
Step 7: Glue the stamp of your choice onto the top right corner of the front of your envelope.
Step 8: Write on the Front of the Envelope who the card is to and from.
This craft is awesome because you can use it with other holidays, not just Valentine's Day. You could make Christmas cards, Birthday cards, Get Well Soon cards, etc. The possibilities are endless!
