How to Sign a Valentine Card

Video Transcript

"With your card accentually assembles, now we are going to put on the finishing touches. First off if your card is drying, I do recommend turning it upside down and hey you can use this book Shakespeare again. Use that basically let it sit there for 15 to 30 minutes that will keep the card nice and flat and avoid a lot of warping, which you can get with glue, especially during the drying process when it's at its wettest. Generally just make sure everything is adhering nothing kind of peels ups, its forced down to stay there until it's nice dry and tight. So, thank Shakespeare for the help and put him aside. Now, we have the back of the card, this is not an area of the card that a lot of people focus on but, I think it's a excellent location at which to sign and address your card. Now, there are two different ways to doing this. You can basically have their name, "Jennifer be my Valentine" or "Love" and insert your name here. So, what I recommend though is making the card about them. So, basically the good ole "Be My Valentine". The way we are going to put this on is first off lightly tracing in pencil. We are going to want to have this be slightly neater font. By neater font I mean little bit more like your Verdana font for your word processor nuts out there. A little swoops and curves, women would call it elegance. So, you have your name and your request right across the bottom. After you?re done in pencil time to pull out your red pen. You?re going to go over tracing what you have already written. If you want to change it around a little bit or add a little bit slightly go outside the lines your already drawn your already drawn in. Thant's no problem, that's natural. Don't treat your trace marks as a straight jacket you can deviate from them. Its ok, the only thing is to make sure if you deviate outside them you go back and erase afterwards. You do not want them sticking out, it would be sort of not so fun 3D effect. Now, you can also do this in pink but, again with that white and red contrast it really, really looks nice. After that you are essentially done. Outside of erasing a couple of those little marks, any little areas where the pencil spilled over your ink."
