Print on cardstock
Regular paper works, but cardstock instantly makes the card feel more gift-worthy and holds marker ink better.
Color the front first
Finish the flowers, hearts, and lettering before folding so the card front looks polished.
Fold and write inside
Add a handwritten note. Even one or two honest sentences make the gift feel personal.
Upgrade the presentation
Slip it into a frame, envelope, or gift bag so it feels like something special instead of a loose worksheet.
