Craft Project: Kitty Valentine Card

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

Supplies:

  • fabric scraps
  • white cardstock
  • black marker
  • scissors
  • craft glue
  • black craft foam

Instructions:

Cut a piece of white cardstock that measures 4x9 inches, and fold in half.

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.

Love this idea! Even though it's after V-day. I''ll make a few as I'm always running a little behind when the actual holiday comes around! LOL - great way to use up scraps too!

I love making homemade cards. They're so expensive to buy and not nearly as nice. Thanks for the great idea.

OMG! That is so cute! I saw a pin once where you did the upside down heart was the pigs face, and two tiny hearts in the back were the ears, and one tiny heart in the front was the nose. It was adorable. Thanks for sharing! PBP
