Monster Valentine’s Day Cards Craft Tutorial #Printables

Tuesday, January 29, 2013 by Lolli 15 Comments

My kids and I are just a little bit excited that Hotel Transylvania is available on DVD and Blu-ray today (shh…don’t tell, but someone who’s having a birthday tomorrow is getting this!). To celebrate the release of the DVD, my kids and I came up with a super-fun and easy craft inspired by the movie. And what better craft is there at this time of year than handmade Valentine’s cards??

Not only was the timing perfect for us to make DIY Valentines, but this coming weekend is the perfect time for the rest of you (hint: this project will keep the kids entertained for a good long time while YOU watch the Super Bowl this weekend).

Monster Valentine’s Day Card Supplies:

  • Card stock (any color)
  • Patterned paper (scrapbooking-type paper is perfect, and left over scraps work great!)
  • Googley eyes (we found a pack of 200 at the Dollar store)
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Hole punch (fancy shapes are fun!)
  • Pencils for tracing
  • New pencils to add to cards (optional–I got packs of 12 at the Dollar Store)
  • Markers for accent touches
  • Stickers (optional)
  • Monsters template
  • Valentine’s Day messages and sayings

How to make your own Monster Valentines Day Cards:

      1. Print Monster templates on card stock and cut them out carefully.
      2. Print Valentine’s Day sayings on plain white paper and cut them out.

      1. Trace monster templates onto the BACK (non-patterned) side of your patterned/scrapbook paper.

    1. Cut out your monsters!

  1. Cut various-sized cards from plain colored card stock.
  2. Glue your monsters, Valentine’s Day sayings and messages, and any other special touches onto the cards stock.
  3. Don’t forget to add some googley eyes (FYI – the eyes are easier to attach using Elmer’s school glue rather than glue sticks).
  4. Make them your own! And don’t forget to have your kids address each card to their friends.
  5. Punch two holes to pass the pencils through. If you’re using a traditional hole punch, you may need to punch twice in the same spot to make the opening large enough for the pencils.
  6. Attach pencils and admire your handmade Valentines!

How to adapt for younger kids: Since cutting can be tricky for younger kids, you can easily adapt this by simply letting your kids color each monster before cutting them out. Just eliminate the template-tracing step. An adult can help cut out sayings and finished monsters and the kids can glue and decorate the cards however they chose.

Have your kids seen Hotel Transylvania yet? This weekend would be the perfect time to pick up the movie for the kids (they can make some Valentines cards and watch the movie in another room while you watch the Super Bowl. You won’t hear a peep from them for hours!).
