Let me start by saying I found this idea on Pinterest (www.pinterest.com) from many creative people. I saw 4 or 5 different ones; and thought to myself, 'I can make that, and make it my own'.. So of course I had too!
Another cute idea for your Valentine!
I sat one evening before even creating, to brainstorm for the cards. It didn't take me long to come up with 52 reasons why I love Tristan - and since I made my list, I've come up with many more, ha! But I stuck to 52 because I didn't want to up it to 104 Reasons..
Anyways, here is my own outcome!
52 Reasons DIY Valentine Card Deck
What you'll need:
Full deck of playing cards
Binder ring(s)
Paper stock of choice
Hole Puncher
Markers/Pens/Paint
Directions:
Hole punch your cards in desired area(s).
-I chose just one up in the top corner because some cards will have plenty of writing on them. But the few I saw before creating mine had two. (Like my DIY Valentine's Keepsake Book)
Use the "Joker" Cards as your Front & Back covers.
-Turn the jokers into the book to display the design side of the cards.
Write your 52 reasons on your choice of Paper stock.
-I used Tristan's favorite colored removable labels. (Orange & Purple)
Stick the 52 reasons to your cards; the side of the cards don't matter.
Place your cards onto the binder ring(s).
-Order them 1-52 or 52-1, your choice!
The more unique they are, the more special they will be to them.
#15 was the most popular one with all of the girls and customers at work that I showed it too, ha!
All done!
Enjoy! Happy Valentine's Day!
If you try it, I would love to see your pictures-
