If you’re new to quilling and intimidated to start, then try this easy Valentine’s Day card, using basic quilling shapes. Watch my tutorial or read more about it below.
Page 1 has two tinted hearts ready for your quilling, and page 2 has the added message of “be mine, valentine!”, so you don't have to worry about outlines or centering elements on the card.
Step 1: Download my free PDF pattern, and print it onto card stock
Step 2: score vertically in half with a score board or a dried up pen
Step 3: cut horizontally, fold, then unfold so it lays flat on your desk
Paper used: conventional quilling paper, 1/8 inch wide
This card is based on a birthday card I made for my mom in 2007, inspired by a store in the mall called La Vie En Rose. She loved it so much she kept it on her fridge for years.
Length of S- and C-scrolls: 4” long
Loose Scrolls look like question marks to me and are combined with easy heart outlines for this card.
If you struggle with accidental glue globs, what I do is set one end down first while keeping the other end up in the air. Then I set the other side down. This way your eyes are not struggling to look at so many crucial areas at the same time.

Length of Loose Scrolls: 3” long
Length of Hearts: 1.5 and 2” long
For this card, I used a die cut punch I bought at the dollar store to make easy leaves. After punching this flower, I cut each petal loose, scored them in half with my needle tool, then folded – BAM! Your leaves are ready for your bouquet.
Length of Closed Coil Flowers: 2” and 3” long
