Hi everyone! It's MEG here today with a fun and kid-friendly tutorial for making your own Valentines Day cards...on sticks.

Next, hot glue 2" of the straw onto one copy of each animal. You'll see here that I added another layer of hot glue on top of the straw, in order to attach the other copy of your animal. This is what your animal Valentines...

First cut your paper to 4.25x11 Fold it in half Get you die cut and place it on your card stock with the top edge above the fold.

You may have to run it through a couple of times because it is thicker. Now you have a shaped card base to make your card with! It will work with most shapes so the...

I always make sure to include a yellow since it makes the galaxy look lit up. First, sponge some yellow onto your cardstock. It doesn't really matter where you put it. Second, sponge...
