Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Paper: Select your favorite colored paper or cardstock. For a sturdier card, cardstock is recommended.
Cut Out Hearts: Fold the paper in half and draw half a heart along the fold. Use scissors to cut out the heart shape, so when you unfold it, you have a symmetrical heart.

Embellish: Add sparkle with glitter, make it playful with stickers, or classy with a ribbon. Place these elements to enhance the visual appeal of your card.
Write a Message: On the inside of the heart, write a thoughtful or fun message. It could be a simple "I love you," a thank you, or a funny joke.
Dry and Deliver: Allow any glue or paint to dry completely before you hand your card to someone special.
