Looking for a sweet Valentines idea for a card? It’s Valentine’s Day! Although we don’t usually go all out for this day, I do like to personalize little things here and there for my kiddos.
This year we kept it simple with each receiving a card with a gift card inside to a favorite place of theirs for a mommy or daddy date. This is where they get one on one quality time doing something they love. I can never give gift cards in the boring packaging it comes in so I made these sweet cards today with some left over pieces I had on my crafting desk.
Sweet Valentines for the Kids
First, gather up my supplies such as patterned papers, clear stickers, colored cardstock card bases and my Adhesive Sheets 4×6 in. These adhesive sheets make attaching large cardstock pieces a total breeze! Also I love to have full adhesion all along the card base some nothing comes apart later. I also grabbed my 3D Foam Squares White Regular. I knew that all my pieces were flat so I would need to raise a few to add some dimension to the card front.
You can see in the photo below that it covers perfectly.
Both cards were created the same way. I layered white cardstock on an angle, then layered patterned paper on the opposite angle for a fun asymmetrical look.
Next, I used my 3D Foam Squares White Regular to adhere the next piece of paper. This is actually a card base with wood grain patterned that I love so I just cut it up for this project. Then I did the same for the owl piece and placed it right in the center.
For the finishing touches on both cards, I pulled out some clear stickers, wood veneer, and my Dual Tip Glue Pen.
I love how these turned out! So excited to give these to my kids. Some more images below – super cute and colorful!

So cute! Love the owls, where did you find them? Valentine’s Day is BIG here in the USA, it is sweetheart’s day as well, many celebrate by going out for dinner and other special dates.

These were old items I happened to have on my desk. I’m not sure where they are from
