With some fabric scraps, cardstock, and a few other supplies, kids can create these cute kitty Valentine cards in no time at all.
Approximate Time: About 30 minutes
Cut a 3 inch heart from fabric scrap for cat's face. Cut a smaller heart (about 1 inch) from coordinating fabric for cat's ears. Cut the smaller heart in half vertically.
Apply glue around back edge of large heart and place it upside-down on card. Apply glue to each half of small heart and glue underneath cat's face for ears (refer to photo).
Cut two small circles from craft foam for eyes and glue into place. Using black marker, draw cat's nose and whiskers. Write "I love you" or other personal message below cat's head.

For a special Valentine's Day cards make snowflake hearts, just as you would make paper snowflakes but in the shape of hearts. Cut out a large heart, fold it a few times, then take a pair of scissors and cut different shaped wedges around the edges.
Your garden flowers can be used to decorate your self-made cards for every occasion. Here is a picture of bleeding heart that I made for my wife on Valentine's Day. By webster7
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I have some darling, easy cards to make from just construction paper, craft glue, markers, and googly eyes (optional).
After the holidays we often have copies of photos of our kids that lack the quality fit for using in a scrapbook. So, instead of "chucking" these photos, make use of them for Valentines Day.
These cute Valentine cards are easy to make and fun to give! Even small children can put them together.
When buying cards for Valentine's Day or other special occasions, the really pretty ones with the glitter usually cost more than the ones without glitter. I decided to start purchasing the plain cards and add the glitter myself, using glitter paint.
Foamies have become very popular during the past couple of years. You can find them in all shapes and sizes and for almost every holiday.
To create this card, cut a horizontal sheet of paper from left to right (ending up with two long strips of paper). Fold one in half. Cut a 3 x 3 sheet of tissue paper and fold into the wrapper shape then secure to the card with a piece of double stick tape.
I recently took a trip to the Dollar Store and noticed that they sell Valentine's Cards with Lollipops included. 10 of them for $1. I thought it would be a much better idea to make my own with a few craft supplies and it would be less expensive!
This is a collection that my husband has made for me for Valentines Day for a number of years. We've been married 57 years so you can see the romance has not gone out of our marriage.
I have done this candy card for my husband a few times in 11 years. It is cheap and easy. All you need is a piece of poster board, a marker, and candy bars.
This is a cute card kids can make themselves to let the special people in their lives know that they are their "biggest fans".
Make a pretty love note and display it using memo or note holder this Valentine.
Need a last minute valentine craft? My year old granddaughter and I made 25 of these for her class in about 90 minutes. We call them Heart Posies.
