It’s nearly Valentine’s Day and a time to show your loved ones that you care, they are in your thoughts and that you love them!

Each year I buy my partner and my daughter a card – I think for a few years, it has been a growing trend to send cards to close family, and for me, this will be my daughter. They know that I love them dearly, but it is a good excuse to buy one of the many creative cards sold in all the supermarkets, craft and card shops.

I also came across free printables whilst on Pinterest, and now have a folder with some samples of designs that you can download for free! I do relish a nice bargain, even though you do need to provide the card/paper, envelopes and printing ink – not bad for instant and quirky designs.

Here are just a few of my favourite Valentine’s designs on Pinterest:

A cute idea to make for Valentine’s

I love all aspects of design from research stage, initial ideas to developing my designs into final artwork.

My current specialisms are graphic design and illustration. More recently I have been producing patterns and want to continue creating pattern designs (have a degree in Surface Design) for mobile devices, and for laptops/ipads as well.

I love geometric and floral patterns and collate inspiration in Pinterest

Here are just a few of my latest designs for mobile wallpapers. I aim to produce lots more and to experiment with shapes and colour combinations.
