How to Make a Valentine's Day Card

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is Lanie Evans. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how you can make a very simple and easy Valentine Day card. Take a look at what we're going to do. Start out with some half sheets of 9x12 construction paper. Any color would work; it's your preference. I'm going to use the red and the pink today. Start out by folding it in half. Your cards can go this way and they can go this way. It's a personal preference. I'm going to start mine out in the tent style. So I'm going to take my card and add some paper. Just decorate it any way I want. Let's see. These foam hearts work well. I have these little hearts that work well, too. You can even layer them. And get some different ideas. Double sided tape, I found, works really great. Don't have to wait for the glue to dry. And these adhesive hearts have this sticky surface on the back. I'm going to address this to my Mom. Then when I open it up lets do something interesting here. I'm going to take the pink and I can cut out some hearts. I like to use these scissors that have an interesting design in them. And I cut on the inside of the black line. And so here's that. What's even better, I like to layer the colors and create patterns so I'm going to actually take a purple one and do the same thing but with a smaller heart. Double sided tape. And here's your finished card. You have something interesting on the inside. Something on the outside. If you don't want to leave the back we can add something there as well. Let's do the tissue paper on the back. We can even write something funny like The End. And so here's my card."
