Flamingo Valentine Craft Instructions
Here are the steps to make this charming Valentine’s Day card
No. 1 Download the flamingo card printable and the DIY envelope template.
No. 2 Print out the number of cards you need on a pretty woven white paper. There are 2 cards per page (8.5″ x 11″U.S. Letter). I used a cotton resume paper that I already had lying around.
No. 3 Print out the envelope template on card-stock.
No. 4 Cut the printable in half at 5 1/2″ and then fold it lengthwise.
No. 5 If you choose to color your own flamingo cards, use colored pencils or markers to color in the outlined design.
No. 6 Cut out the envelope template along the dash lines and use it to trace outlines on your 12″ x 12″ craft paper (2 envelopes per sheet).
No. 7 Cut the craft paper in half, following your outline and then cut out the top flap.
No. 8 Fold the envelope in thirds. The fold lines are indicated by the dotted line on the template.
No. 9 Tie your envelope together with pretty ribbon or string. As a sweet addition you could add a treat or little toy inside! You could also completely seal the envelope with a pretty pink Washi tape on the outside edges.
No. 10 Don’t forget to write a sweet message of friendship inside and you can address the front side of the envelope. If you need to send these valentines through the post, slip each card inside a mailing envelope as the bow won’t go through the mail sorting machines.
Ann and I hope this flamingo valentine craft inspires you to get creative and send your girlfriends a sweet reminder of how much their friendship means to you this Galentine’s/Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day Lovely Peonies!
