After spending much of the past year staring at screens, from Zoom meetings to FaceTime calls with grandma, I’m longing to disconnect from it all. Remember the good ole days, when we used to create DIY Valentine s Day cards? Or what about collecting pretty stamps and stationary to drop in the mail? Whether you’re thinking of the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for friends, family members, or the love of your life, a return to pre-heart-emoji life sounds especially lovely this year.
I’m not afraid to admit that maybe I’ve also been a little influenced by the romantic love letters Bridgerton’s Marina Thompson wrote to her soldier. That fairy tale-esque love story certainly made me want to grab the fanciest stylograph I could find and jot down a few lines to send to my fiancé (even though we live in the same apartment).
If you’re also thinking about getting crafty this year, here you’ll find everything you need to DIY Valentine’s Day cards like the exquisite artist you are.
