So alongside my "romantic" cards, I created a new range of funny Valentine's cards to sell at work and at Rock Choir rehearsals - with all the money raised going to Ward 15 of Birmingham Children's Hospital.
I printed the card toppers on to white cardstock with a range of funny messages:
- You'll do.
- 'Stalker' is a harsh word. I prefer 'Valentine'.
- Netflix and chill?
- I LIKE YOUR FACE
- Happy Singles Awareness Day
- Thanks for swiping right
- Obligatory overly mushy sentimental Valentine's Day card
- I love you more than Kanye loves Kanye
- Nothing says I love you like a piece of folded card
And one with a Valentine's message in binary code for the nerds :)
I used 6x6" brown square card blanks from Hobbycraft and for the backing papers, I used the Dovecraft XOXO Paper Pack (which is only £4 for 72 papers so is really good value!)
Using my Fiskars paper cutter meant I could make lots of cards at the same time and really quickly. First I trimmed each paper down by 1cm...
This meant that when glued on to my card blanks, there was a border (it also meant I didn't have to take my time lining them up exactly when sticking them on!)
I then trimmed my card toppers down using my paper cutter and affixed to the cards using double-sided foam pads so they stood up from the backing paper slightly.
The last step was to stick a Dovecraft XOXO Heart Pearl on to the card to give it a finishing touch...
To give them a professional look when selling, I packaged each card in a self seal bag - they also ensure the envelope doesn't go AWOL.
The best selling card so far has been "You'll do." - who said romance was dead?!
I like your post. It is very informative and helpful to me. I admire the message valuable information you provided here. Valentine's Day Discount Code
