Step by Step Valentine’s Day Card Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the First Fold Line
Begin by drawing an “L” shape: one vertical line and one horizontal line. This will be the outline of the card’s fold.
Step 2 – Complete the Rectangle
Connect the lines to form a tall rectangle. This represents the greeting card before it’s folded.
Step 3 – Add the Folded Edge
At the top right, draw a diagonal line to show the folded flap of the card. Now it looks slightly open.
Step 4 – Write “I ❤️”
On the card’s front, write the letter I and draw a heart shape next to it. This starts your Valentine’s Day message.
Step 5 – Add the Word “YOU”
Under the “I ❤️,” write the word YOU in bold, capital letters. Now your card proudly says: “I ❤️ YOU.”
Step 6 – Draw a Cute Face
Finally, add two little eyes and a smiling mouth at the bottom of the card to give it a cute, friendly personality.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What colors should I use?
Red, pink, and white are perfect Valentine’s colors. You can also use purple or gold for extra flair.
Can I write a different message on the card?

Is this good for making real Valentine’s Day cards?

What if my card looks uneven?
That’s totally fine! Handmade cards are special because they’re unique. Your personal touch makes it even more meaningful.
