Creative Homemade Valentine’s Day Card Ideas

Thinking About Making Homemade Valentine’s Cards This Year?

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! If you’ve got a child in school or you’re just a Valentine’s Day enthusiast, then you may be starting to think about Valentine’s Day cards. Valentine’s from the store are cute, but they’re common, expensive, and lacking in that personal touch. Say you really care about your loved ones this Valentine’s Day by making homemade Valentine’s Day Cards.

Creative Ideas for Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards

Papier-Mache – papier-mache a timeless art project. It’s fun, creative, and affordable. All you need is newspaper or other strips of paper and glue or flour to make it stick! Form small hearts with handprinted messages for your Valentine’s.
Paper Bag Valentine’s – This is a classic staple of homemade Valentine’s. Decorate a lunchbag with hearts or pictures of things that the recipient enjoys! Then fill it with candy.
Origami Hearts – Instructions for origami is easily accessible online, with videos to watch on YouTube.
Fingerprint hearts – all you need is a red ink stamp pad (like this one from Rubber Stamp Station!). By pressing your thumb down twice (connect at the bottom in a ‘V’ shape), you can form a heart!
Tissue Paper – Cut out a heart from paper and glue on different color strips of tissue paper. The thin material and soft texture create an illusion of stained glass!
Water Colors – Paint your Valentine a picture with water colors! They are affordable at any craft store and the mess is minimal.
Stamp Personalized Valentine’s – Any and all of these ideas can be added to and improved by personalized stamps. At Rubber Stamp Station, we have premade holiday stamps, including Valentine’s Day ones! Or you can upload your own idea for a personalized stamp to make them even more special. The process is easy and affordable, and stamps can be used year-after-year. Your Valentine’s Day cards will always be remembered with that extra personal touch.

Here are some more great ideas to help you narrow down what kind of stamp you need.

12. Customize Coasters (wood or chipboard)

What about a new tablecloth to match your dishware, napkins, and coasters? Impress your family and friends with a homemade matching set this year courtesy of your custom holiday rubber stamp. Make it a new holiday tradition.

17. Spice Up an Old Tradition by Decorating Desserts With Stamp Impressions

What holiday feast is complete without dessert? Cookies and sweets are an important tradition in most holidays. Decorate your cookies this year by stamping impressions with a clean and sterilized rubber stamp. Try making fun impressions in cookie dough and icing.

Safety disclaimer: You should never use a stamp that has–or has had in the past–ink in it. You should also never attempt to use any type of food coloring in place of ink in self-inking or pre-inked stamps. Only use brand new stamps without ink that have been cleaned and sterilized.
