Valentine’s Day is an occasion that always creeps up on me before I have time to design many crafts or printables. This is not by choice – I love designing love-based crafts.

By the time the Australian Summer holidays have ended and the girls have gone back to school, I only have a week or so to get some ideas up. Usually it feels too late to bother, but this year I’m determined to get some ideas up and out there for you, even if it is a bit late.

Earlier this week we shared some ‘bee mine’ chocolate valentine wrappers, and today it’s printable colouring Valentine’s Day cards.

They have been designed with kids in mind, but let’s face it, they’re suitable for any age!

Making the folded colouring valentine cards

1. Print to light card stock. The file is US Letter-sized, so if you are printing to A4 size you need to centre the page on your print menu.
2. Score horizontal fold line by placing a ruler against the marker lines
   and creating an indent with a scoring tool or a blunt butter knife
3. Cut along vertical line to separate into two cards
4. Fold into a card – it should fold easily with your scored fold line
5. Colour in the graphic and write in the card

Making the colouring valentine post cards

1. Print to light card stock
2. Cut into four postcards
3. Colour in the graphic and write your message on the back of the postcard

Here’s a finished ‘Swan of a kind’ card…
