These sweet little cards are so easy to make with just a few materials. They are perfect for the kids’ Valentines, party favors, or friend gifts. You can use any wrapped heart candy for the center. I used Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups since I already had some on hand, but you can make them with whatever your favorite is. Hand write a little note, and they will be sure to keep the Valentine card long after the chocolate has been devoured.
Materials:
Paper Cutter or Scissors
Pink Cardstock
Circle Punch, 2 inch
Hole Punch, 1/8 inch
Thin Ribbon
Wrapped Heart Candy
STEP 1 Cut Paper
Using your paper cutter, cut a strip of paper about 3.5 x 7 inches in size. I used this pink parchment cardstock, so that my card would have a little romantic texture.
STEP 2 Punch Circle
Using your two-inch circle punch, cut out a hole from one end of the card. If you do not already have a punch, do not hesitate to buy one, as it will come in handy over and over. I’ve had this one for five years and it still punches like new.
STEP 3 Fold in Half
As the step says, fold in half.
STEP 4 Attach Heart
Using double-sided tape, attach the heart so that it is perfectly framed by the circle.
STEP 5 Punch Small Hole
Using a small hole punch, make a hole at the top just below the fold. You will insert the ribbon through this hole.
STEP 6 Tie Ribbon
Pull the ribbon one time through the hole and then tie a bow. Cut the ends so they’re even. So sweet.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to fold in half first and then punch the circle? I’m not clear on how you put the ribbon on? Can you clarify
You may push the large circle either before or after you fold. The ribbon is tied on through the small circle, punched after you fold.
