I have designed the free Valentine’s Card 2021 using free PhotoScape X photo editing software. You can install it to Macintosh and Windows computers.
The next card below you can use even in the year 2022 and after that.
If you like this design you can get something like it by following these steps:
I have used the Bodoni MT Black font with the multicolored outline. You get it by clicking the icon where are many colors. The picture is 800 pixels in weight and 1000 pixels in height. After that, I clicked the Transform button when the Transform dialog box opened (see the image below).
In the Transform Dialog box, I selected the values which you see in the picture.
I have designed the next free card using PhotoScape X as well. I write the message in Interlingua, an artificial language. It means: ”Happy Valentine’s Day.”
I know that there is still time for the Valentine’s Day celebration, but I wanted to give you time to design even your card by yourself.
In Finland, we don’t celebrate Valentine’s day but The Friend’s Day when we remember our loved ones.
A Little Miracle aka An Ode to a Friend
The house was passed on from father to son for generations
But I felt myself older than its aged plank floors and stone walls.
The extra heater glowed like a giant burning cigarette head.
I was planning my transfer from time to timelessness
when the sudden rustle woke me up.
I charmed the light to the room from the switch.
In the middle of the floor was a mouse with its
forelimbs up like it was caught red-handed.
I took pity on it and immediately turned the light off.
After that, I didn’t reveal my pattering roommate.
I was taken a fancy to and fallen in love with
when it started to eat a tiny piece of cheese.
I set for it between the wall and the oven,
first far away into the hole but step by step towards
the floor. Our life turned into my wanting for tomorrow,
even without the spouse.
When I have almost done my last semester,
I found my friend’s lifeless body on the living room floor.
Its scarlet fur flamed in the sunbeams which came from
the little gap between the curtains.
I put it into the giant matchbox and carried the coffin across
the waving meadow to the edge of the forest.
I dug the grave where the ground was full of wood anemones.
I was a qualified culture secretary, and it was in the heart of
the earth remaining as my big little miracle.

Hyvää Ystävänpäivää kaikille!
PS You can write your own greetings to the following card. I added it here because the heart was a little difficult to do using PhotoScape X.

Grazie per questo tuo bellissimo lavoro per San Valentino una festa che io non amo perché è una festa tutta commerciale.
Mi piace invece come in Finlandia ricordare gli amici cari.
All the best my dear Friends and Take care❤

Grazie per il commento. In Finlandia, solo gli adolescenti festeggiano San Valentino, e altri ricordiamo i nostri cari amici 14.2.20. Ad esempio, i bambini in età scolare possono visitare la casa di riposo e così via 😉

Ecco molto giusto questo è amore ’vero’!

Nice cards! I didn’t know about Finland’s The Friend’s Day. That’s wonderful.

PS Unlike International Valentine's Day, Finnish Valentine's Day is more generally a holiday for remembering friends, not just for lovers. The practice came about by itself when people started sending cards to friends as well. Since then, Valentine's Day has been called Ystävänpäivä (literally Friend's Day) in Finland.

The little mouse! I rescue baby lizards in our house and set them free outdoors. You have to be very quick to catch a lizard!
TykkääTykkää
Thank you very much for your comment.
My mother also rescued those small lizards which lost in the house from time to time. My mother was quick as lightning.
My parents moved there in Florida in 1970, and all my siblings. I stayed here in Finland but visited there many times while my parents were in this world.
All the best to you and your loved ones ❤
