Make a Deck of Cards Love Book
by heather
Aww, so cute. Reader Jean submitted this project idea at the Dollar Store Crafts Facebook page; it's a romantic book of "52 things I love about you" to give to your sweetie, out of a deck of cards and some binder rings. Cute idea by Kelly at Trans-craftinental, and so simple and customizable! Look beyond Valentines' Day for this project as well; it would make a great personal gift for any occasion, or you could just use this idea to make an adorable mini scrapbook or tiny book filled with anything you want. Definitely keep this one in mind for Mother's Day, too! [click here for how to make a Deck of Cards love book]
Project Estimate:
- Deck of cards, $1 or on hand
- Binder rings, $1 or on hand
- Scrapbook paper, other ephemera, on hand
- Glue, on hand
Total: FREE and up
I don't know how many of you are familiar with the concept of the "Five Love Languages"* but basically the idea is that every person likes to give and receive love in a preferred format, most of which are covered by the Five Love Languages, which are:
- Physical touch
- Acts of service
- Quality time
- Words of Affirmation
- Gifts
Making this would cover a few of the love languages (gifts and words of affirmation), so if your sweetie loves compliments or gifts, think about making this one for him/her.
*I know it's kind of random to throw this in here, but I am a big fan of personality profiles (like the Myers-Briggs!) and knowing my love language (and my loved ones' languages) has really helped me out in everyday life! It even helps me interact with friends and co-workers. I liked the Five Love Languages of Children book the most (even before I had children) because it helped me understand the languages on a basic non-romantic level, although there are a couple other versions of the book, too.

This is brilliant! Especially because I have about a hundred unused decks of cards lying around. (OK, maybe not a hundred, but I do have several!)
This could be extra-cute with those shaped card decks I saw the other day at Dollar Tree. (I think they were heart-shaped.) Thanks for sharing another wonderful idea!!

I just found your blog via Apartment Therapy’s post about their top crafty blogs. So happy to have found you because I love the Five Love Languages and believe they work for everyone, I love decks of cards, and my little two-stop-sign town is getting a Dollar General in a few months which has me so excited. To find your blog at the same time as a dollar store arriving = heaven, no?!
Oh yes now I have an awesome v-day present!

I pulled out just the hearts from the deck of cards and made one fantastic 13 page valentine book for my husband. He loved the sweet, silly, romantic sentiments. Thanks for the idea.
