DIY Playing Card Valentines

These fun and easy DIY Playing Card Valentines use a regular deck of cards with cute phrases to make the perfect greeting card for Valentine’s Day.

What are the most fun kind of valentines? The ones you make yourself! These cute playing card valentines are super easy to make and lots of fun too.

They are easy enough for kids to make themselves, but perfect for grown-ups (especially those who love to play cards) too. You can usually get a package of two decks of 52 playing cards at the dollar store for only $1.

12-inch Titanium Scrapbooking Paper Cutter

We only used regular typing paper for our cards, but construction paper or cardstock will make a sturdier valentine. The other thing I plan to differently when I make these cards again is to use a paper cutter to more easily cut straight lines. I don’t know why I didn’t think to take mine out of the closet this time! If you do scrapbooking you probably already have a paper cutter, if not you can find one for under $10 here.
