Making a Valentine’s Day card >> buying Valentine’s Day cards. These card ideas will make you say “Be mine.”
Hello love birds! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and because it falls not much more than a month after Christmas, I’m all about keeping costs down and the gifts personal. That means making my own cards. I don’t know about you, but where I live I’ve noticed that cards have taken a hike in price and decided to camp out on a tall mountain and not come down...basically what I’m saying is that they are expensive! I mean, WHOA! Eight dollars for a V-day card?! I could eat at Taco Bell like three times for that price...dolla (menu) make you holla! (Love T. Bell...judge me).
Here’s some free Valentine’s advice—these DIY cards are way better than anything you can buy because: 1) They come from the heart and 2) They’re pretty funny/creative. Okay, these aren't all strictly DIY, but you can use them as inspiration for making your very own Valentine's Day cards! Take a look!!
For the Star Wars lovers out there...appreciated it will be! Especially because the franchise is so huge right now! Side note: How many awards do you think The Force Awakens will win this award season?

I couldn’t resist another clever “eye” card. How cute are these printable Valentine’s cards with eyeglasses and plastic googly eyes?

This is probably one of the simplest Valentine's card to make, but it's so cute and sweet. All you really need is card stock, a heart-shaped stamp, a stamp pad or two, and a little creativity!

I absolutely love the colors and design of this charming Valentine’s card. Cupid’s arrow has never looked so good!!
These next two are kind of quirky and maybe a little bit kiddie, but I like ‘em! Love bugs in jars? What’s not to love about that? And who wouldn’t love to receive an adorable googly-eyed robot card?

Okay I am dying over here at the library card one! That one is just perfect! I love the ones with the googly eyes as well, and of course I think my favorite is the Yoda one. I do love me some Star Wars! Great cards, Hailey! And I agree with you, it is so much easier (and cheaper) to make your own because they’re so dang expensive now! Thanks for the cute ideas!
Julie, I’m glad you like them! DIYs make life fun–even if only to make a card. The fact that they’re cheaper and in my opinion funnier, are two huge pluses!! Thanks for commenting!
I love love LOVE these ideas! Where do I even begin with which one was my favorite? The first one (the “yoda” one) would totally be a fan favorite with my family and my fiance! Personally, I love the pink and gold arrow one, too. I love those colors and could only imagine how fun making that card would be. Thanks for these awesome ideas, Hailey! Great post!
You have to make your fiance the Yoda one! It’s so funny and cute. The timing is perfect too, because as I mentioned the movie is a big deal right now! Thanks for reading and commenting, Alexa!
