Valentine Valentines
Print Free File: Free Printable Valentine Card and Pants Candy Card
Free Printable Valentine ~ Two Versions
Version 1: Since the pants are already printed onto the card, you can simply cut out the first page of the file and use it as is. Attach some Smarties candies, or not. {your choice}
Version 2: Make the 3D Smartie Pants card by making the pants into a box that can hold 2 Smarties candies. On how to make the 3D version, follow the pictured instructions below.
Candy Card Supplies Needed:
Print out Smarty Pants File {free files above}
Smarties Candies
Tape
Scissors
How To Make This Valentine:
Step 1: Cut out the pants.
To cut out the pants, simply cut along the outside of the pants just like you would a paper doll. Be sure to leave all of the tabs attached and do not cut the red inseam out of the pant leg. There are 3 pants to a page.
Step 2: Cut out the Valentine card.
To cut the Valentine card simply cut a rectangle around each of the cards. There are 3 cards to a page. Bonus Card: I’ve included an extra “love” folded card in case you want to use it for something else.
Glue onto blue cardstock. {optional}
This next step is completely optional, but if you would like to polish off the look of your home made Valentine simply cut out a larger piece of coordinating blue paper and use a glue stick to glue it together.
Tip: Be sure to print out your Valentines first and then take them to the paper store to color match the blue. My blue ink might be a different color than yours and these photographs are a little lighter than what the Valentines look like in person.

Step 3: Fold the Pant Tabs.
Next you are going to fold the pant tabs. Just like you would a paper doll ~ fold the tabs on the pants on both white dotted lines. This will give you the 3D effect as well as show you where to tape the pants onto the card.
Step 4: Place Tape onto Pants.
Don’t over-think this next step, it’s really easy. To place tape onto the pants, simply place a one inch {or so} piece of tape and place it along the back-side of the both pant tabs, next to the folded crease. Be sure not to tape over the middle crease, as then you won’t receive the 3D effect.
Tip: Use 1 piece of tape for each side of the pant. But use 2 smaller pieces for the pant leg. The pant legs are going to want to turn in a little and the separate pieces of tape will allow the paper to naturally make a curve for the box.
Step 5: Tape Pants onto Card.
To tape the pants onto the card, simply line up the middle crease to the pants that are already printed on the card. This makes it really easy to see where the 3D pants are supposed to be placed onto the card.
Repeat this step on all three sides of the pants.

Step 6: Pop in your Smarties!
Tape your two Smarties candies inside the pants, and you’re all set to impress with a unique, fun, and yummy home made Valentine card.

Super CUTE and looks doable! Thank you:-)
Love it! thanks for sharing–
Those are ADORABLE! Wow! Very unique too..not another princess or pirate, but SMARTY PANTS!
I’m new and know I must be missing something, but where do I find the items where I am able to print them?
Love these printables:) Thanks for sharing!
So clevvvvver! TFS such a great idea! CM2
Thanks so much for the adorable idea! I love it! I featured it on my blog: http://www.organizinghomelife.com/archives/1998
Another idea instead of doing the 3d pants, is to cut a slit at the top of the pants and slide a smarties candy in and leave some popping out at the top. Tape the candy to the back of the card. Love this thank you so much for the pritable!
Love these!! Thank you very much for the free printable!!
TYPO
Could you please correct the typo on this?! It is not Valentines’ Day. It is “Valentine’s Day.” (Note position of apostrophe.) I saw that someone at my son’s school made these for her friends using your template and I was so upset that a printable had a spelling error on it. These kids are going to thing that your spelling is correct. And the more it gets copied the more people will be confused!
I just noticed this too. A good solution for it would be to add heart stickers. Just put a sticker over the current apostrophe and add in your own apostrophe (before the s).
Wow, nice post,there are many person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post.Thank you for sharing to us.Please one more post about that..
