All you need is love...and cards

Valentines day can be a sore subject for some people, and while I like it, I can see why some people don't.  I like to think of it as a day to spend with special people whether it be a significant other, friends, family, or whoever.  That's why I'm posting some cute card ideas in advance, so it gives you all an opportunity to make a card for the special people in your lives (and it's a fun craft idea).

1) Lady bug love 
For this one I did something a little different. I used oragami paper (you can also use construction paper)
















2) Up Up and Away!
Again, for this one I tried something different by using oragami paper (I backed it with cardboard though so it would be a bit stronger).  I also made the house a bit more Up like.


















3) Ace of Hearts
I didn't write the cheesy line on mine, but if you are making these for a class or an office it would be kind of funny.  I'd say this one is the quickest/easiest of all of them, and would be easy to make in bulk because you could layer the paper when you are doing the cutouts.











4) Love games
That link isn't really what I followed to make these, but it's where I got the idea.  I made a scrabble one cutting out squares and writing the letters on with sharpie then gluing them down.  Then the tic-tac-toe one is a bit harder cause the xs are hard to cut out, but if you cut a small square, cut the corners off, then cut triangles it works pretty well (although a bit uneven).

5) Luv bug
I didn't use the foam things, but I just used construction paper instead.
