Valentine’s Day is about showing people that you care with either grand gestures or small tokens of affection. But genuine thoughtfulness has taken a backseat to commercialized momentos that lose that vital touch of sentimentality. If you want to reclaim the love and romance of Valentine’s Day, then try creating your own valentines to give to family, friends, and even that special someone with Valentine’s Day products from CutRateCrafts.
Paper-crafting is a fun and popular crafting genre, not only because of the pretty final product, but also because it is applicable to so many people. You can make invitations, thank-you notes, and cards. Remember how your grandparent’s face would light up when you gave them a homemade card as a child? A store-bought card doesn’t elicit the same effect. So channel your inner child, let your creativity shine through, and pour your affection into an adorable homemade Valentine. Begin with Core’dinations Cardstock in Valentine. This paper has a core color that coordinates with its surface color, which makes it perfect for sanding, tearing or antiquing. Create cool effects with this cardstock for only $7.14!
Once you have the card, you should spice it up with embellishments. The Glitter Markers Set in Valentine’s Day has four sparkly markers that will make your valentines shine! The non-bleed, fade-proof markers work great on paper, wood, cardboard and other porous surfaces. Use them to make designs or a heartfelt message on your valentine. Available for only $9.34!
