Yes! We made it through January! February always feels like a much nicer month as it is so short and we have Valentines Day slap bang in the middle of it! It is a month for love and showing people you care so for today's post I am sharing some ideas about how to make your own Valentines card for that special someone.

| Card making supplies |
I brought a really pretty book of patterned card recently and a set of chalkboard sticker labels so I thought I would use these to make my cards along with a selection of Artline pens.
 |
| Folding the cards |
I removed pieces of card from the book and folded them in half to give me nice size greeting cards to work with. I added a chalkboard sticker to the front of one of the cards and wrote on it with my chalk marker.

| Artline chalk marker & chalkboard sticker |
Using a chalk marker on a chalkboard sticker is a great idea if you are worried about making a mistake. The chalk markers are more vibrant than using regular chalk and provide a better coverage too. If you do make a mistake or just don't like how your message turns out the marker is easily removed with a slightly damp cloth. Once it is dry you can try again until you are happy with it!

| Artline calligraphy pen |
For my next card I wrote a message on a journalling card using one of my Artline calligraphy pens. Then I glued the journalling card onto the front of my Valentines Day card and added a couple of heart stickers to it as well.

| Making one last card |
I used another calligraphy pen for my last card and some milk and cookies stickers I have had in my craft supplies for a while now. Because the stickers weren't very big I cut down the card to make it a bit smaller and then wrote "We go together like...." across the top.
Here are how my cards turned out, I think they look quite sweet!
