Choosing Valentine's Day Card Paper

Video Transcript

Next we're going to decide what exact shade of paper we're going to want for our central Valentines. This is going to be the paper when we cut out our heart shape. It's going to be the color of our Valentine's Day card. Now, there are two lines of thinking here. First is a good piece of pink paper. Big pink paper. Now, if you're doing a Valentine's card with a little less romance involved, say maybe for a parent or a friend, I recommend pink. It's a, shall we say, less intense, less emotional color. The same thing goes for roses. Oftentimes people will give pink roses for friendship, as opposed to romance. But if romance is what you have in store you're going to want to pull out the red paper. This is like the intense; this is the beating of your heart. This is your true emotion, the person that you want to share this with for your Valentine's Day card. So go with red if that is your intent. Now, for paper sizes it all depends on how big your Valentine's Day card is going to be. In general, I like to have a, not cut things too close. So, for this paper you're getting here about a good eighteen inches. That means you can very easily get a Valentine's card as big as sixteen inches. The Valentine's card we're going to be doing today is going to be about ten inches wide. So, when in doubt, make sure that you have at least a couple of inches to spare, in terms of how wide your Valentine's card is, so that you don't accidentally create a card that's too big for the piece of paper you've selected.
