I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but it's a holiday with chocolate and tons of crafting potential so there's the silver lining. This year I wanted to put my new papercutting skills to work. So with a couple of quick Google searches I found some Valentine's Day card patterns.
For the little valentines to pass out at work, I used this pixelated heart pattern from Mini Eco. They are super cute and surprisingly easy to make. I'd say in less than 15 minutes you could make a complete card and envelope. Just a couple of cuts and scores, and voila! Pretty cards. The instructions also include patterns for the outer card and envelope.
For those who deserve a more labor-intensive card, I found this papercutting pattern at Kind Over Matter. It is a fairly simple papercutting design. I found the letters to be a little troublesome just because they are so tiny. Average time it took me to make one of these cards: 1 hour. So next year I'm going to start making my cards much sooner than the week before.
