FREE Printable: Playful Valentines That Will Make Anyone Smile

Alrighty! Let's get started, shall we?

 

Here's what you'll need for this fun and easy project:

  • Letter-sized paper (white card stock paper is recommended, since it's slightly thicker than standard printer paper)
  • Scissors or paper cutter
  • Tape or decorative twine/string, to attach candy to your valentines
  • Pen
  • Computer
  • Printer (a regular home printer is just fine!)
  • (Optional) - Extra colorful paper scraps are helpful if you're using regular thin printer paper - for extra pizazz and to prevent your cards from bending!)

Items you'll need to create the printable valentines day cards by Sunny Day Designs are shown on a brown wood table: a turquoise tape dispenser, pink and red baker's twine, individually wrapped Smarties candies, sheets of white card stock paper

Instructions:

Step #1 - Download the printable valentine design file by Sunny Day Designs HERE. The file was designed to be printed onto 1 letter-sized sheet of paper. Once printed, you will have 6 mini valentines per sheet. If you'd like more than 6 valentines, simply print multiple pages!

Step #2 - Using a computer and a home inkjet printer, print the file out onto letter-sized paper. I recommend printing this design onto a slightly thicker card stock paper, if possible, since it is slightly thicker and less prone to bending versus standard printer paper.

*Tip: If printing onto regular printer paper is your only option, don't worry - just get creative! Try gluing or taping slightly larger pieces of another paper material (such as construction paper, paper file folder scraps, repurposed paper mailing envelope scraps, or magazine image cutouts) onto the backside of each individual valentine card. This will make your finished valentines a bit thicker and will also add a colorful border effect to the front of each valentine! Plus...you'll be recycling and using what you already have on hand, making your valentines even more Eco-friendly!

Step #3 - Follow the dotted gray lines to carefully cut out each of the 6 valentines. Use a scissors to trim the cards or feel free to use a paper cutter, if you have one.

Step #4 - Optional: Attach a small piece of candy to each card using scotch tape. Or, if you have decorative string or colorful baker's twine on hand, you could tie some around each card and slip the candy underneath the twine.

You can see in the photos that I decided to go the colorful baker's twine route! I have a LOT of it on hand because I use this fun, striped string to package my Sunny Day Designs products.

Step #5 - Sign your cards at the bottom (next to "From") using a pen so that each recipient of your valentines will know who gave it to them!
