While I'm sure kids are just fine with receiving Tinkerbell valentines day cards...but is it just me or are simple handmade cards just so much cuter? And really, they take as much time as you would take loading up the kids in the minivan and heading over to Walmart.
To make this easy peasy Valentine card you'll need felt, cardstock, cute scrapbook paper and a sewing machine of course. Also pinking shears are optional.
Cut your cardstock into four rectangles. Cut out hearts out of the felt using your pinking shears. Make sure the heart fits onto your cardstock.
Set your sewing machine to the zigzag stitch and set it at the widest setting. My machine is digital and I set my zigzag to 7.0.
Leaving a 1/4 inch margin, sew around heart.
Print "Happy Valentines Day" onto cute scrapbook paper (see links below). Cut out with pinking shears and clue to opposite side of cardstock. Have your cutie sign and they are ready to pass out!
What did I say...easy peasy!
Have a Crafty Day!!
That's such a cute idea, Aubrey!
ReplyDeleteI was just lamenting the fact that my boys don't care about cute valentines...sigh. But I feel better knowing that by next February I'll have two little girls to buy matching Valentines dresses for! And they will most definitely care about cute valentines. :)
Those Valentines are so sweet! I love it...thanks for the great idea!!
