With the festive period over, it is now time to start thinking about the next holiday... and of course, it is none other than Valentine's Day! Valentine's Day is a great excuse to show the people in our lives how much they mean to us, whether that's a significant other or just an amazing friend, and what better way to show your love and appreciation than with a handmade heart card!
