The Ultimate Giant Valentine’s Day Card

February 8, 2017 by Shellie Wilson

Hello! Are you thinking about making the biggest, most wonderful Valentine’s Day card ever for your loved one? Well, you’re in luck! In this tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to make a giant collage-style Valentine’s Day card that is sure to impress. With a few simple materials and a little bit of creativity, you’ll be able to create a one-of-a-kind card that shows just how much you care.

The original blog for this tutorial is no longer valid, if you know the owner of this image please contact as so we can contribute and link to their site.

To get started, you’ll need the following materials:

  • Cardstock paper in your preferred color
  • Scissors
  • Glue or double-sided tape
  • A heart-shaped trinket or charm
  • Lace or ribbon
  • Free downloadable printables (optional)

Now that you have everything you need, let’s get started!

Step 1: Cut out a large heart shape from your cardstock paper. This will be the base of your card.

Step 2: Glue or tape your trinket or charm to the center of the heart. You can also add any other small decorations or embellishments at this time, such as sequins, glitter, or buttons.

Step 3: Glue or tape a strip of lace or ribbon along the top and bottom edges of the heart. This will give your card a romantic, feminine touch.

Step 4: If you want to add some extra flair to your card, you can use the free downloadable printables to create additional decorations. Simply print out the printables on regular printer paper, cut them out, and glue or tape them onto your card.

Step 5: Write a message or special note on the inside of the card. You can use a pen, marker, or even a computer to type out your message.

Step 6: Give your finished card to your loved one and watch as their face lights up with joy!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to make a giant collage-style Valentine’s Day card. With a little bit of creativity and some basic materials, you can create a truly special and memorable gift for your loved one. Happy crafting!

How to Manage a Large Piece of Cross Stitch Fabric

I am known to be really paranoid when it comes to cutting cross stitch fabric for a project. I will math it out, count, recount, think about it, worry, decide it needs to be bigger than math plus my already large margin for error suggests. If I could just be confident in choosing the correct size of fabric I’d have a lot more stitching time!

Sometimes you have a lot of extra fabric beyond where you are stitching because your fabric is too big. Or maybe you’re just working on a big project that leaves excess fabric potentially in your way when you are stitching. 

Hannah Hand Makes has a post all about how to deal with excess fabric on the sides of a large cross stitch project (which is actually a podcast if you’d rather listen). She is talking more about huge stitchalong projects where you need a big piece of fabric than my particular problem of timid cutting, but the same advice applies. 

I am lazy and don’t want to buy new products, so I would probably devise some sort of rolling and clamping situation with items I already have in the house, but she has some great tips for actual products you can buy that will help with this situation such as large hoops, standing frames and scroll frames. One of these solutions would certainly be worth the investment if you’re doing a year long (or otherwise long term) stitchalong or really big project where that excess fabric is going to cause problems. 

Because beyond being annoying, odds are good I’m going to end up stitching right through that extra fabric and making a big mess. 

Check out all the tips for working with a really big piece of cross stitch fabric over at Hannah Hand Makes. 

What’s the biggest cross stitch project you’ve ever made? I’d love to hear all about it!
