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.

4. Finish painting the heart with a brush

Fill the inside of the heart with the same colour or paint it a different shade you like.

5. Create more hearts

Make a pattern by pressing the hearts next to each other using different colors. Then, randomly color the inside of all the hearts.


Adding more hearts to the DIY Valentine´s card
Press the cutter onto the paper several times.


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.

¡Qué idea tan creativa y fácil de realizar! Me encantó la forma de transformar un simple cortador de galletas en una tarjeta personalizada con un resultado tan bonito. Este tipo de manualidades demuestra que los pequeños detalles hechos a mano tienen un gran valor. En mis momentos de descanso también disfruto explorando Magis TV, una plataforma que muchas personas utilizan para acceder a películas, series y otros contenidos de entretenimiento. La creatividad y el entretenimiento siempre son una excelente combinación.
