Instructions:

Fold a piece of construction paper in half to create a greeting card and set aside.

Valentines Day Kids Craft

Use the heart pattern to cut a heart out of a darker piece of construction paper. You want to use the darker colors because they will absorb the paint better and have less bleed through.

Valentine's Day craft for kids

Tape the heart you just cut out to the front cover of your greeting card. You’ll want to roll the tape around your finger to create a double sided piece of tape and only tape the middle of the heart to the card. Don’t tape the edges of the heart or it will cause defects in your final design.

Dab a cotton ball in craft paint and stamp the paint filled cotton ball all around the front of your card. Use several colors (make sure to use a different cotton ball for each color) and start from the edges of the card then work your way into the center. You want the thicker paint to be at the edges and the thinner paint to be around the heart you taped to the middle of the card.

While your card is still wet, remove the paper heart you taped to the middle of your card. It is very important to do this while the paint is still wet. There’s a chance the heart will rip the card if you let the paint dry first.

Once your card has fully dried, open it up and write a fun Valentine’s Day message inside. Check out the how to video here!

Are you crafty or do you have a unique talent? Do you want to learn how to use the Cricut or be your own boss by starting your own Etsy shop?

At Crystal's Crafties I provide detailed tutorials on how to use the Cricut and create other DIY crafts. I also provide step-by-step instructions and tips for creating an Etsy shop and being a successful Etsy seller. When I started with my Cricut and my Etsy shop I found that I was having to look through dozens of websites to get all the info I needed. There just wasn't a one-stop-shop for everything I needed.

That's why it's my mission to provide you with all the info you need to set up your Etsy shop and be a successful Etsy seller. And to get you crafting some of the DIY's you're going to want to sell in your Etsy shop.

If you're struggling with how to use the Cricut, with DIY crafts or your Etsy shop I think you'd really enjoy reading my blog.
