I know that I may be really weird, but I’m not that big of a fan of buying Valentine’s Day cards in the stores for my kids.
First, they are like 4 bucks a box and they always come in an odd number that we need 2 boxes for each of my kids. I think the makers do that on purpose. They know class sizes are around 30! But it’s like 24 cards per box. Grrr.
Last year, I tried to save money by buying gender neutral cards and 3 boxes total, instead of 2 boxes per child. That worked great, but…it still set me back $12 and they seemed kinda dumb…too plain and basic. And some of the sayings, I’m sorry, are inappropriate.
“I think you’re hot stuff”
Yeah, NO! lol.
That’s not treating a girl with respect. Ladies should be treated like ladies and I’ve always tried to teach my son that. “Be a gentlemen,” I say.
So, because I am TOTALLY obsessed with free printables (I might have a problem!) 🙂 I decided THIS year, we could MAKE free printable valentine cards better than they sell in the stores! AND…we can print the number we need!
My kids and I had a lot of fun coming up with sayings that are sweet and fun, and totally kid-appropriate, as well as designing the text and colors. My daughter helped me design the girl set and my son helped me design the boy set.
They turned out really good and we thought we’d share them with YOUR family…from us to you! Hopefully, they will save you some money (I get most of my ink nearly free- here’s a post I wrote on how I do that) and your kids will love them.
I adopted the funny and pink fluffy monster as my own and named her Sarababel. 🙂 If I was a monster, that’s what I’d look like. Perhaps your kids could pick a monster they’d like to be as well. They are all so stinkin’ cute!

I like to print them on card stock (this is the exact pack I buy; it’s super cheap but well made). After you print them, simply use scissors or a paper cutter to cut them.
These card templates would be perfect:
- for classmates
- from teacher to student
- for coworkers
- for adults
- for teachers

Glad you like them Jan. Great looking blog by the way. I loved the post about not having ads on your site. Couldn’t agree more. I’m working on getting mine completely off! I deleted 25+ ads this year. 🙂 Slow but steady progress.

Hi Sarah
I love these VD cards, but unfortunately I’m not able to open the Girls’ version. Do you perhaps have the direct link that I could access them through? My son attends a special needs school and I would like for him to give a card to each of his class members.
Also, your site is awesome – easy to navigate.
Thank you for sharing,

Sarah! My son loves these and we are using them for his class. We bought a bag of dum dums lollipops and taped one to the back of each card. I just used photo paper we had on hand. This is my first handmade year ever- I’m feeling like a rockstar mom 😉 lol!
Sarah Titus says
Katie, great idea with the Dum Dums! And you ARE a rock star mom! <3

Thanks for the inspirational content! I love your page and your content. It’s been constructive. I saw you were interested in Make Money Online, and I was wondering if you are very successful. I’ve been following after Affiliate Marketing, and it seems to work pretty well for me and start to be profitable.
Sarah Titus says
I did pretty well with affiliate marketing, but I make a lot more creating my own products. 🙂 Currently, I make $4 million/year from my printables shop and $1.3 million/year from my courses. That doesn’t include blogging income and misc. income at all. 🙂 I started out homeless after my ex-husband of 14 years abandoned our family (he had an affair). Really it was just survival, but God decided to show me favor (gave me a good life when I worked hard for it and uses me to many people). He saved me and made me fly like crazy. I know I’m just getting started. <3 It definitely STARTS with affiliate marketing, but I'd encourage you to make your own products to sell b/c it's a lot more lucrative and easier to sell. 🙂
