How to Make Your Love Monster Valentine Card
1. Begin with a square of cardstock. The squares shown here were 20cm/8in. Cut a 2cm/1in strip from one side of the card. The strip will become the monster’s arms, the remaining rectangle the monster’s head and body.
2. Cut the strip in half and cut a wavy hand shape on one end of each half.
3. From a different coloured cardstock, cut some crazy, jagged edged monster hair.
4. Glue the hair in place on the rear side of the monster body paper.
5. Now, draw fun monster eyes and a mouth on the white paper. Get creative and have fun with it! Be sure your facial features have a nice, thick black outline.
6. Cut out the eyes and mouth.
7. Glue the eyes at the top of the card.
8. Glue the mouth in place, as well.
9. Next, use the circle punches to punch a bunch of circles from the same color cardstock as the hair. Alternatively, cut some circles free hand.
10. Glue the circles all over the monster.
11. Then, glue the arms in place, around the monster’s middle.
12. Finally, cut a heart out of red cardstock. This is the perfect place to write a Happy Valentine’s Day message.
13. Slide the heart into the arms of the monster.
