How To Make Love Greeting Cards
Cards Templates And Supplies
They are mainly designed for the Scanncut Brother machine, but I tried to keep them as simple as possible. Because of the simplicity, they are also easy to cut by hand. For the materials, colors etc, you should be creative and use materials depending on your taste. For the folding card part ( interior ), you have the same identical size for all of them. I would prepare one simple folding card, and use it as a template to measure and cut the others.
To print the card face ( front side ), I used a simple method. Take a card face that you cut just a little bigger, and with some scotch tape, tape the corners to the center – bottom of an A4 printer size paper. Then simply add that in the printer ( in most printers you will put the page with the card face facing down, with the empty printer paper part inside the printer ). To glue all the parts I’m using mostly white glue, sometimes hot glue as well.
1. You Sew Have My Heart
A simple but cute design. I used a folding card template, a printed card face ( use the method described earlier to print it ), and a bow. You can use any colors you wish. From what I have tried so far, red looks amazing ( in my opinion ).
Use a soft pad or anything soft under the card face, to create the holes for the heart. Then saw the decorative heart with the desired thread type and color. To tie the bow beautifully, follow the video tutorial as I’m using the same style.
2. Love Is In The Air
For this one use the same method to cut the templates. I added a separate template for the hearts. For the hearts you can either print them on a white thin carton, or whatever method you find easier for you. For the sparkling hearts, I simply brushed them with a mix of white glue and water, then added some glitter on top.
To print the card face use the same method described previously. To tie the beautiful bow just follow the video tutorial, or use your own style.
3. Sending You My Love
For this design I only use a folding card. There is no separate card face. There is a template available for the accessories. If you want to create a design with different folding card color and another for the face, just cut one using one of the other templates for the measures. You can glue everything together depending on your preferences.
It’s not necessarily to follow the example I made all the way through. For the little text label, just print it and then you can cut it by hand as it’s not a complicated shape.
4. Purple Love
For this card you have a few options, besides the colors that you can pick as you wish. The heart on the front can be made in two ways. You can either cut the shape of the heart in the card face, and place the desired colored paper under the card face. The other version would be to cut a heart bigger than the one in the template and glue it on top if it’s hard for you to cut out the heart shape.
For the bottom I used some thread with some sparkles in it and added a little bow to make it look a little better.
5. The Love Three
The design it’s simple and very basic as well. The hearts have a different template. The rest of the card follows the same pattern as the others. On the card face you can let the tree in black and glue the hearts on top. If you would like to have it as the one I made, just cut out the tree shape with a very sharp cutter.
For the bow use again the video tutorial as it was made in the same style.
6. Flying Hearts
This design it’s very similar to the one I did in the video tutorial. The only difference it’s the size of the hearts and the fact that I actually sew them to the card face. I did the sewing by hand, but if you do a large number of card It’s better to use a sewing machine. To print the card face just use the same method described previously.
If you want, you can alter the design a little changing the number and the size of the hearts. It’s easy to cut a heart shape by hand anyway.
7. Double Heart Love
For this one we used the folding card, a card face, and the added accessories. Pick the colors you wish and create your own version. To give it a vintage look, on the card face and on the white hearts I used a sponge and some brown powder paint. The text writing in the ribbon was made with a stamp, but if you wish you can simply print it on paper.
The red hearts are painted with clear sparking paint, but you can also use the white glue/water and glitter method as well.
8. Princess Love
This particular model was one I was insisting to have. Unfortunately it’s hard to cut the decorative hand by hand. It’s not impossible though if you are good with the patience. To make it easy for you, I added a template version where you can print the heart on paper. The folder has a transparent PNG version as well if you really want to cut everything by hand.
This one it’s really easy to do wit the Scanncut Brother machine though.
9. Loving You
This design was meant to be extremely simple. Maybe not all of us are amazing in crafts and DIY. With this one I’m hoping I can help those too. To create this one you simply use the instructions I wrote for the others as well. For this one, and also on the other designs and I haven’t wrote about it… I glued the heart differently.
Pay attention to the photos and where the hearts seem a little 3D, the reason it’s that I used a 2mm double sided tape to glue them to the card face. Then simply use whatever you have to decorate the heart and the rest of the card face.
10. Love Rain Supreme
This card design was also meant to be very simple. Just use the instructions from the other cards and you will figure out really easy how to create it. Just like the “Loving You” card, the umbrella is also glued with 2mm double sided tape to give it that 3D look.
Simply use whatever you have to decorate the heart and the rest of the card face.
