You’ll make their heart soar with this DIY Paper Doily Hot Air Balloon Valentine Card! #gluedtomycrafts

I’ve been on such a paper doily high on Glued To My Crafts this past week, I honestly may be a little “dry” on my words right now. So please excuse me for a bit as I recover from my road block and “overstimulation” – blogger problems! HA!

Normally I would have a step-by-step tutorial and exciting story to share with you all BUT honesty, this idea is pretty self-explanatory with the pictures above and below in this post.

Plus I really want YOU to stretch those creative juices and come up with an idea that is custom made by YOU! Ultimately that is my overall goal here.

But if you are really stuck on this idea and need a little push, here are a few tips.

To start – simply adhere your paper heart doily to the front of a handmade cardstock card. This card can be any size, as long as the paper heart doily fits on it. Don’t forget, the paper doily can be any color as well! {or cut out a heart piece from cardstock instead!}

Take a black thin-tipped sharpie marker and from there, hand-draw on features {including yourself inside it} to give the look of someone floating in a hot air balloon. Then write “you make my heart soar” in one corner {or any other clever saying} and finish off by using a glue-dot to secure a candy heart in the center of it all.

Wam-bam – you have a handmade card designed by you that any lucky receiver will love!
