  • Markers or crayons
  • Glitter glue
  • White craft glue
  • Scissors

How to make it:

  1. Fold cardstock in half to form card.
  2. Apply white craft glue to the back of the heart-shaped doily.
  3. Glue the doily onto the front of the card. (See photo.)
  4. Use markers and crayons to decorate the front of the card. Have kids write greetings such as "Happy Valentine's Day" or "My Mommy" on the front.
  5. Apply some glitter glue on various places on the card to give it some extra sparkle. Let dry before signing the inside of the card.

Tips:

  • Cut around the heart-shaped doily to make a cute little heart-shaped card.  (See photo. We used Karen Foster Design paper for this design.)
  • Apply stickers, lace, or other decorative elements to the card.
