You Are LOVED. Cards

This Valentine’s Day, make some of these adorable valentines for your friends to share the love. And remind each and everyone that they are LOVED. Period.

LOVED. Period?
Am I loved? Do I matter? Does anyone care about me? Where you put a question mark, God puts a period. He loves you. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. How amazing is that?! This isn’t mushy, gushy love that’s all butterflies and chocolates. God’s love is steady, constant, and perfect. That’s the kind of love you want to be sharing with your LOVED cards!

  3. Punch a hole in the top of the bookmark and thread a piece of ribbon through. Tie it in a knot and add a note to the back sharing the love!

3D Heart Cards

  1. Cut out a medium-sized heart from paper and use it to cut out 7 more hearts that are the same size and shape.
  2. Fold each heart down the middle.
  3. Glue one side of a folded heart to the side of another folded heart. Glue another folded heart to the other side to make a fan of hearts.
  4. Keep gluing hearts together until they’re all attached. Glue the final two sides of the hearts to the inner sides of a folded piece of paper.
  5. Open your card to see the heart fan into a 3D heart and add a written note to share God’s love with others!

Overflowing with Love

  1. Cut a jar shape out of white paper and glue it to the folded piece of paper that will be your card.
  2. Cut out hearts of different sizes and colors.
  3. Fill your jar with hearts that you glue on top of the paper. Let them spill out of the top of the jar, and make a few extras to include in your card. Sprinkle that love like confetti!
