Celebrating Valentine’s Day with creative gifts

If you are looking for the perfect gift on 14 February, here’s a lovely way of creating a little work of art with the Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Markers: print out our colouring template and colour in the different flowers and leaves with your favourite colours. Then stick your sheet of paper onto colourful card and frame it – and you have a gift for a very special person.

You can also design your own gift tag to hang on the wrapped picture frame. Be inspired by our multilingual gift tag template!

Combine watercolouring and hand lettering

Do you want to send your Valentine wishes? With our template, Goldfaber Aqua watercolour pencils and a brush, you can conjure up a beautiful card in next to no time! Try out different colour combinations and add hand-lettering elements using Pitt Artist Pens.

Simply design your greetings card and gift tag yourself

In addition to hand lettering, the Pitt Artist Pens can also be used to design flowers and leaves, for example: try a combination of both techniques with our template and make your card shine with finishing touches courtesy of the gold-coloured Metallics Marker!

To make gift tags with your messages of love truly extra special, cut out a rectangular piece of card slightly larger than the paper featuring your decorative hand lettering. Punch holes in both and use an attractive ribbon to hang one behind the other on your gift.

Tip: Do a preliminary sketch of the hand-lettering elements with the Pitt Artist Pen XS or S and then add some life to the card and tag with different colours!
