Today, October 6th, is World Card Making Day. Cards, though often overlooked, express your true feelings in the most simplest of forms. So, in honor of the card and World Card Making Day, here are a few ideas for sharing your love with a card. We’re sticking with basic cards that focus on the words and sentiment rather than design, but if you’re crafty, get creative!
Basic Heart Card
Take any sheet of red or pink paper and fold it in half. Once folded, use a pencil to draw the outline of half of a heart on the folded side of the paper. Once drawn, cut it out with scissors. Now Draw half of a heart from the folded side, then cut it out and fill the inside of the card with a romantic love quote, love message, or even a simple ‘I Love You’.

Basic Folded Card
Take any sheet of paper, though red and shades of pink work best. Fold it into fours and create your own card with a package of markers, a few stickers, or even a box of crayons. When it comes to romance, the thought is always what counts.
If you want to get a little more advanced, create a table in a word document and then use clipart or wordart in the bottom right-hand corner for the front of the card. The top left-hand portion of the table is where your inside text will be located, but if you’re doing it on a computer, you’ll need to make that text upside down to appear correctly when printed and folded.
Send an eCard
If you’re pressed for time, send an ecard. It may not be a card that you’ve created in a literal sense, but you’re still creating the words that you include in your message. Put a little extra thought into what you want to say — try a love quote or love poem if you’re stumped. Try Hallmark for some great free ecards.
