I’m Old School Valentine
Today we made a throwback style Valentine’s Day card using these strawberry candies. You can print the free cards here, but you’ll have to ask your grandma where she buys the candies (KIDDING!).
To assemble these Old School Valentine’s Day cards, you will need the following supplies:
-
Scissors
-
Printer with white paper
-
Card stock paper (in colors of choice). This is thicker paper found at any craft store.
-
Double-sided tape
-
Glue (or hot glue)
-
Those old-school strawberry candies. You can ask your grandma where she gets hers, or you can find them in the candy aisle of most grocery stores or even the Dollar Store:)

- Apply double-sided tape to the back of the card and attach it to the card stock.
- Using a little bit of glue or hot glue, attach one of these candies to the empty spot in the card:
I love the Old School Valentine card, but I think I will use Werther’s Original…now that takes me back to my grandparents! Thanks for the idea!!
