Custom Valentine Cards

Last year I designed these cards for my husband.  I broke 1 Corinthians 13 down into sections and made a card for each bit.  Then over a period of 8 or so days I gave him a new Valentine each day.  He saved them.  So, now I can share them with you this year.

It's really quite simple:
     1. Select the text you want.
     2. Print on card stock.
     3. Cut using your favorite circle cutter.
     4. Cut more circles out of fun paper.
     5. Punch a mini hole in all three pieces of paper all at once.
     6. Then insert a colorful brad.

I even made some for the children to give to the grandparents.  I modified it slightly: I printed out a picture of each child on card stock and made their picture one of the three circles.


This post may be familiar to you as I used this same design technique for birthday cards.

Enjoy!
