Colorful Heart Cards

by Alyssa


Who doesn't love to receive a handmade card? I like to make my own cards because they are so much more meaningful to give and fun to make. One problem with making your own cards, however, is that it can take a long time! These pretty little heart cards only take about 20 minutes to make all three, and you probably already have the supplies to make them. Next time one of your friends has a birthday or you want to give a thank you card, consider trying one of these designs, or maybe make all three to have some extras on hand!


All you will need to make these cards is white paper, colorful scraps (construction paper is okay too), scissors, a glue stick, and a sharpie. Ribbon is optional.


Cut your scraps into even squares. This will help you make the hearts the same size. If you want to make a bunch of cards at once, just cut more squares!


Fold all the squares in half.


Cut a heart from each folded square. You could also just freehand cutting the hearts, but I like to do it this way so the heart is even.




Finish cutting out all of the hearts and now get creative with how to arrange them on your card! Here's a couple ideas that I used, but be creative and do whatever you think looks good.




I hope this inspired you to make some handmade cards! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by our blog :)
