STEP-BY-STEP DIY CARD TUTORIAL

Step 1: Draw a heart shape inside the card

I’m using the design from my Valentine’s Lettering Workbook to trace over the heart shape and transfer it to my card.

Take a peak at the workbook here:

Step 2: Start drawing the floral doodles around the heart shape.

Use the design in Step 1 as inspiration to draw the floral doodles around the heart shape using your white Gelly Roll pen 08.

Step 3: Sketch your sentiment inside the card

Once you’re done with the floral doodles around the card, sketch your lettering inside the shape. This is so you make sure the love-inspired phrase will fit inside the heart shape.

Step 4: Hand Lettered your sentiment inside the heart.

I’m using my style of modern calligraphy combined with block lettering to letter “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Check this blog post to learn modern calligraphy, or grab my block lettering workbook using brush pens.

For the “Valentine’s” hand lettering, I used the pink Pentel Fude Brush Pen. I wanted this handmade card to pop even more, so I wrote the rest of the Valentine’s sentiment with the black Tombow Fudenosuke – Hard Tip.

Step 5: [Optional] Add details to the lettering.

If you want your lettering to pop even more, add line shadows using the same white gel pen.

That’s it!

You made a beautiful and heartfelt DIY card you can use for Valentine’s Day. Swap the message inside and give it to a loved one on a special occasion to show your love for them!
