Who’s in the mood for a Valentine’s project? I don’t know about you, but whenever this time of year rolls around, I always find myself searching for cards that are a little different from the norm. You know, not serious, sappy or corny (unless it’s tongue-in-cheek) and without too much red (my least favourite colour).
(Side note: last year, the card I got my husband had a little cartoon dog sniffing another cartoon dog’s butt with the words ‘I like you’. It made me giggle and I think that was his favourite of all the cards I’ve gotten him so far!)
This year, now that I have the blog I thought it’d be nice to create a card that was a little more ‘me’ than the ones in the stores. Bright colours, honeycomb hearts, even a dad joke thrown in for good measure (‘egg-cellent’, get it? 😉 ) – yep, total goofball and right up my alley. If you’re looking for a Valentine’s card with a difference, then get yourself some honeycomb balls from the lovely ladies at Light & Co and follow along!
Materials
- Egg Valentine printable (see the end of this post to download)
- Yellow 5cm mini honeycomb balls (available from Light & Co)
- Scissors
- Double-sided tape
- A pencil
Step 1
With your honeycomb balls closed, mark out half a heart shape on one side.
Step 2
Get your scissors and cut out the shape you just drew. After trimming them, when you unfold the honeycombs they should look like little hearts.
Step 3
Head to the end of this post, download the ‘Egg Valentine’ printable and print it out onto good quality card stock. Cut out the cards using scissors or a craft knife, then fold them in half (you can use a bone folder to score down the middle first if you’d like a cleaner fold).
Step 4
Add double-sided tape to your honeycomb hearts, then open them up and stick them on top of the yellow heart on the card.
And that’s it – with just a few easy steps you have some cute and quirky Valentine’s cards all ready to give to your significant other!
I have to say, I was surprised at how easy it was to come up with funny egg quotes for these cards! Eggs and Valentines hey… who knew?
