Mustache You To Be Mine

Tweet

 Back to me procrastinating on Valentine's Day….last Vday, we started our Valentine's almost three weeks early. Mostly because of Annabella's attention span, we would do a couple a day but also because I like to get stuff done! This year just rushed over here! So here is a last minute homemade card idea for any of you procrastinating, busy moms.
 I had to do over 20, and it didn't take a lot of time at all!

You need:
Cards/envelopes
Card Stock
Mustache punch/or stencil
Popsicle sticks
Glue gun
Paint pen/sharpies/stamps/sticker letters
Razor blade

I bought some of the cards at Michael's and some in the dollar section at Target. When I first started this I was going to use a stencil. You can just google stencil and go from there. Then I saw a mustache punch in the scrapbooking isle at Target and snatched that bad boy up! (it saved me soooooo much time!) I used glitter card stock. It's my favorite. It's thick and who doesn't love glitter! I bought turquoise,purple,black,red and pink so they could be for girls or boys. I had planned on stamping the "you a ?" part, but the cards were too glossy and the ink wouldn't dry right, so I just used a sharpie and wrote it on. The inside I used a "be mine" stamp from Michael's. You could hand write any of this, use stamps, or foam letters.

-I started by opening the card and slicing two small slits into the front of the cards.

-I then punched all of the mustache's out.
-Put a dot of hot glue at the top of the popsicle stick and attached the mustache's.
-When that is dry, insert the popsicle sticks into the slits.
-At this point you can really do what you want. Again, I did the "be mine"stamp inside and added some stickers, then had Annabella sign her name at the bottom of them!!
-Put cards inside of the envelopes and then let your little one draw pictures on the envelopes and add Valentine's Day stickers.
