Make an original Valentine's Day card with us using a cookie cutter!

Step by step procedure


1. Prepare your workspace

Clear off a table and gather all of your supplies. Having everything organized will make the card-making process quick and easy!


2. Stick the masking tape

Carefully place the masking tape on the white paper, creating a stripe across the center. Once the paint is dry, the tape can be easily removed. Select a tape width that complements the size of your cookie cutter.


Use masking tape for your DIY card
Put the masking tape roughly in the middle of the paper.

3. Handprint the heart

Apply tempera paint to the cutter's edge and press it onto the paper. Let it dry.

6. Add gold outlines or glitter

 For extra sparkle, add glitter or gently tap a brush loaded with paint to create tiny flecks around the hearts. Let the finished design dry completely.
