The most important thing with handmade Valentine cards is the fact that you have put your thoughts into it, and used your time and energy on making them.I believe that it is a much greater value than making the prettiest or most creative card of them all. The receiver will, most of the time, be very grateful for the handmade card, regardless of the result.
