DIY: Handmade Cards

Why have I never done this before?! Personal, handmade cards for every occasion?! I think cards are great and all, but they mean so much more when they're handmade or they have something personally written inside. I used to save all of my cards, until I did a little spring cleaning this year and threw out all of the cards that had no meaning - someone just signed the bottom of it and wrote nothing else.

With that, I decided to make two cards for two separate occasions, a baby shower and Valentine's Day. My grandma sent me a card making kit, that included different color paper and accessories to add to a card, so I decided to take one of the sets and make the baby shower card.

With a little glue and a lot of love it came out like this... 

As for the Valentine's Day card that I made for Sal, it was quite plain, but definitely perfect for Sal, who is obsessed with the show How I Met Your Mother. I wrote a little something inside, which definitely made it even better. 

All I needed for the Valentine's Day card was blank cards, stamps, and ink, which I found at Michael's for under five dollars! It's much cheaper than buying one pre-made card, and these come from the heart.
