Valentines for boys...

It's always harder for me to make Valentines for boys than for girls. Here are a couple that I made recently:

I've used this little monster many times for children's birthday cards, so why not use it for Valentines, too?

The rectangle he sits on has been raised up with foam tape, as has the computer-printed sentiment.

To make this monster extra cool, I cut a pair of glasses out of glossy black cardstock. Leaving the lenses in place, I glued them to his face.

The teeth and claws were added with a white gel pen. Normally, I cut them out of white cardstock and glue them on, but they are so tiny, I thought drawing them on would suffice for this card.

The hearts were actually part of the monster die set. So maybe this set was meant to be used for Valentines after all.

I added some Glossy Accents to the "warts" on his forehead where they had been scored in by the die.

I already had this bat in my card parts, so I just needed to use a circle die to cut out a ball. I used a red pen to add some stitch lines to it.

The computer-printed sentiment was added to a label punch-out (also from my card parts) with some foam tape. The label was then glued directly to the card front and an enamel dot was added to each end of it.

I added a punched heart in the upper right-hand corner to make it look more like a Valentine.

The bat was popped up with thin foam strips and the ball was added with a round pop dot.

I think a little boy will like this card, don't you?.

I printed a sentiment panel for each card and adhered it to the inside.

I need to find a few more ideas for boy Valentines so I'm off to Pinterest to have a look around.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
