When you think of monsters I bet you don’t usually associate them with Valentine’s Day.  But, I think you will find these adorably cute DIY Cricut Monster Valentine Candy Cards are full of love.  And simply perfect for Valentine’s Day!

I’m not a fan of scary movies or creepy haunted houses, but I’ll take cute, colorful and cuddly monsters any day.  Over the years I’ve created quite a few monster-themed crafts and parties including this wildly popular Valentine Monster Box.

It didn’t take me long to realize that you guys are fans of cute loveable monsters too, especially after I shared my Cute DIY Monster Valentine’s Day Card last year.  

I love making handmade valentines for my kids to hand out to their friends, especially when they are this cute!  And let’s be honest what says have a great day more than a monstrously cute card with candy?  Whether you are planning to make a bunch for classroom valentines or just a few for your kids these little cards are easy to make with your Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2.

How to Make DIY Monster Valentine Candy Cards

Step 1

Open up Cricut Design Space and the free Monster Candy Card SVG. Place your cardstock on the standard grip mat and load it into the machine when prompted.  Select the correct material and press the flashing button to start the cutting. Remove the pieces from the mat with the Cricut spatula tool. 

Step 2

Once all the pieces have been cut it’s time to start putting your Monster Card together.  Start by gluing the colored red and blue cardstock pieces to the white piece. 

Step 3

Once you have glued the bodies together fold the monster arms on the score lines.  

Step 4

Glue the heart-shaped belly onto the monster.  

Step 5

Finally, glue the eyes and antennas onto the monster.  Use the black fine tip pen to trace over the mouth to give it added dimension.  

Step 6

Place a glue dot on the back of a mini Twix candy bar and place it in the middle of the Monster Valentine Card.  Wrap the arms around the candy and secure to keep the sweet treasure in place.

Step 7

Use your Cricut and the red fine tip pen to create a handmade card that says “Have a Monstrously Fun Valentine’s Day!”

I think it’s easy to agree that these handmade cards are so cute it’s scary!  I can’t wait for my kids to hand these out to their friends on Valentine’s Day.

I love how easy it is to create and personalize holiday gifts with my Cricut.  If you are looking for more Valentine’s Day projects you can create with your Cricut be sure to check out these popular projects.
