Valentine's gift Idea

I really enjoy making something each year for my husband for valentines day. This year I was having a hard time coming up with something that I haven't already done for him. Then I decided to make this
(sorry that the photo quality is so bad, the lighting in my house today wasn't the greatest) I took a deck of Playing cards and one of the jokers (I threw the rest of jokers and card game cards in the trash). On the joker card I wrote out 52 reasons why I love you, then on each card I wrote one reason why I love my husband. I was going to type out all the reason and then glue them on but I know my husband likes it when I take the time to write things out so that is what I did.  So for about 3.00 I have made a valentines gift that my husband will love forever. If you do this project I recommend writing out all the reasons first so that way you don't end up repeating yourself on the cards. Once I completed the cards I realized that the cards no longer fit back in their original box because I used card stock. So I made this box to put them in. If you don't know how to make a box I will post a template later on this month once I get the chance to scan it in. Also you could use any type of box that you like.
These boxes are super easy to make and I will post a template later this month when I have time to upload the template.
