Craft Lightning is here again and this time it’s to celebrate obscure holidays!  I picked National Gumdrop day, February 15th, which just happens to be the day after Valentine’s Day!   So, why not make a Will You Be My Gumdrop Valentine!  I’ve created this cute card using my Cricut Explore.  Here is how you can make your own, even if you don’t have a Cricut!

Materials:

Cardstock:  white, pink, yellow, orange, green, a bright colored piece

Cricut Explore (or Maker) or a pair of scissors

Cricut cutting mat

Cricut Marker, Regular Marker or Stamps

Adhesive (I’m using a Xyron Sticker Maker and an Aleene’s tape runner)

Will You Be My Gumdrop? .svg cut file or .pdf file if you don’t have a Cricut

Box of Grumdrops!

Instructions:

Download the files and cut the pieces or cut them out by hand.

Using a Xyron Sticker maker, I made my gumdrops into stickers and attached them to the card.  

You can write the words with your Cricut, you can hand write them or you can do what I did and use stamps.

Using a tape runner, I attached the Valentine cardstock cut out to a colorful piece of cardstock!

Then it was ready to give to a sweet little Valentine just in time for National Gum Drop Day!

Hope you like this quick and easy Valentine for National Gum Drop Day!
