Greeting Card Border with Leaves and Hearts

The border of this page is made from leaf sprays, hearts and stars of different sizes. The middle is left empty on purpose, so you can write a message or draw a picture there. The page is made to print on paper and fold into a card, or to use as a note for someone who is unwell.

Ideas for coloring

• Colour the leaves in several greens and the hearts in pinks and reds.
• Use gold or yellow for the stars.
• Write a get-well message in the centre using a dark pencil first.
• Fold the page in half and colour the back with a simple pattern.

Good to know

Handwritten cards have been exchanged for centuries, and a short note is often appreciated more than a long one. Mentioning a shared memory or a plan for when the person is better is a kind way to start. Keep the tone light and avoid questions about how ill the person is.
