I made my own card pairing a thoughtful quote with several illustration elements from Canva Pro.
"I love to love! It makes you feel so nice and warm and homey." - Kate Langley Bosher, 1914
I printed the line art card on watercolor paper with my Epson WorkForce Pro which has water-resistant ink. Then, I painted the hearts and teddy bear. You could also color them with crayons, markers, pastels, or pencils.
This is a 5" x 7" folded card which can be mailed in an A7 envelope. You can also fit it inside a typical picture frame.
Although I was inspired by Valentine's Day, I think the sweet bear would also be cute for Mother's Day or a "just because" note to a friend.
