I drew up these fun cartoon-ish looking faces to use on our Valentine’s cards this year. I have the free download below if you want to use them for your cards too. Super cute, but there is a little assembly required! The recipients are gonna love them though. (Please remember this art is available for personal use only.)

How To | Silly Face Valentine’s Day Cards

Supplies:

Silly Boy Version –

  • Silly Mustache Boy Valentine Art
  • Mustache Art
  • A2 Size Envelopes (fits 4.25″ x 5.5″ size card)
  • Smooch Spritz in Cherry Ice by Hampton Arts
  • 20mm (or so) Googly Eyes
  • Popsicle Sticks
  • Black Paper
  • Tape
  • Glue Dots
  • Glue

Boy Version How To:

  1. Print out Silly Mustache Boy Valentine Card art. Trim to size. (I printed the words directly on the back side of the card. I did not make mine a folding card.)
  2. Print out Mustache Art. Cut mustaches out of black paper. (I used my Silhouette (in Illustrator) to cut out the mustaches.)
  3. Glue googly eyes in the correct spot on the cards.
  4. Put a small piece of tape on the boy face under the nose. Then adhere the mustache on top of the tape using a glue dot. This will allow the mustache to be removed later without tearing the card.
  5. Insert Boy Valentine’s Card into envelope and add a Popsicle stick inside the envelope too.
  6. To create a design on your envelope, cut out a heart shape and lay it on your envelope. Use Smooch Spritz and spray your envelope. Lift off the heart and you have a cool heart void left!
  7. Seal and deliver.

Text on the backside of the Boy Valentine reads: “Valentine, Let’s make silly faces together.” Along the bottom in small print it says, “Use crayons or markers to color the picture on the front. Carefully unstick the mustache from the front and attach it to the enclosed popsicle stick. Hold the mustache in front of your face and make your own silly faces.”

Supplies:

Beautiful Girl Version –

  • Beautiful Girl Valentine Art
  • A2 Size Envelopes (fits 4.25″ x 5.5″ size card)
  • Smooch Spritz in Cherry Ice by Hampton Arts
  • 18mm (or so) Googly Eyes
  • Paper Punch
  • Glue
  • Bobby Pins with Pad (mine are from here)
  • Cabochon Flowers (mine are Martha Stewart from Jo-Anns)
  • E6000 Glue
  • Wax Paper

Girl Version How To:

  1. Print out Beautiful Girl Valentine Card art. Trim to size. (I printed the words directly on the back side of the card. I did not make mine a folding card.)
  2. Glue googly eyes in the correct spot on the cards.
  3. Using your Bobby Pins with pad, glue a cabochon flower onto each pin using E6000. Do all your gluing over wax paper or other disposable surface. E6000 has a tendency to run out of the tube quickly. Set aside and let dry.
  4. Use a paper puncher to punch a hole in the hair of the girl card. (See pic above for placement.) Insert a bobby pin into the hole.
  5. Insert Girl Valentine’s Card into envelope.
  6. To create a design on your envelope, cut out a heart shape and lay it on your envelope. Use Smooch Spritz and spray your envelope. Lift off the heart and you have a cool heart void left!
  7. Seal and deliver.

Text on the backside of the Girl Valentine reads: “Valentine, Let’s be beautiful together.” Along the bottom in small print it says, “Use crayons or markers to color the picture on the front. Afterward carefully remove the bobby pins from the front and put them in your hair. You look marvelous darling!”
