This is a fun, very easy Valentine's Day card. It can even be done with children, especially if you leave off the words. This tutorial pictures a card that is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", but I advise figuring out what kind of envelopes you have and cutting cardstock to fit. I have included some examples for other common envelope sizes, to show how you might want to adapt the spacing.

Step 1Materials

Materials
--1 envelope that you have around.
--1 piece of cardstock, which when folded in half will fit in the envelope; this tutorial uses an 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock
--coloring instruments; I used sharpies, but just about anything will do, including crayons, colored pencils, and regular markers. Be careful to check if your chosen colors will bleed through the cardstock; if so, simply add in a scrap layer while you are coloring, in between the front and inside of the card.
--optional: a thin piece of copy paper or tracing paper
