Where do you get these crafting supplies to make your cards with? You can try your local craft shop, Michaels, or you can shop online, like I do. I check out Amazon first. They are competitively priced and you can find just about anything you need there. I also like to shop online on Ebay, the online auction house. They, like Amazon, have just about everything you could possibly need to construct your own greeting cards for Valentine's Day. Go on over and type in Valentine hearts, foam hearts, heart shaped buttons, card stock, embellishments, or whatever craft accessory you are looking for, and see what comes up. I bet you find what you need right away. I know I usually do.

You can shop garage sales and rummage sales too. You can usually find unique craft supplies at those and the price will be pretty inexpensive.

Look at these spectacular glittery foam heart shapes. Aren't they just perfect for a Valentine's Day card or poster? All that sparkle in pink, purple, red, and fuschia, plus they come in assorted sizes and that is just what you need when you are creating a work of art. Different sized heart shapes will add some real Pizazz to your crafts, and so will all that glitter!

I added some Valentine's Day craft projects to this card making page simply because I got carried away!

I certainly hope you try out some of these craft projects. They are easy and fun...and you can make some really nice gifts with a heart theme. I really like the heart mobile. I saw one at Pottery Barn for Kids a couple years ago and it was about 45.00...so you can save tons of money making one yourself.
