Creating Your Masterpiece

Step 1: Choose Your Design

Let your imagination run wild! Consider your loved one's preferences, hobbies, or shared memories for inspiration. Sketch out your design on a separate piece of paper before transferring it to the cardstock.

Step 2: Cut and Assemble

Carefully cut out your design from the cardstock. If you're using multiple layers, be sure to line them up precisely before gluing them together.

Step 4: Personalize with Writing

Write a heartfelt message to your loved one on the inside of the card. Express your feelings, share a special memory, or simply say "I love you." Alternatively, you can create a poem or a short story to accompany your design.
