With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we designed these Cardstock Matchbox Valentine’s to be beginner-friendly and super quick. For smooth, precise results, we recommend using a cutting machine for this project. Also, when preparing your file, we suggest grouping the score lines with the box so everything stays in place during cutting. And to keep your message perfectly aligned, group your text layer in Design Space. We hope these small tips help the assembly process feel relaxed and unhurried — perfect for quiet winter crafting.

These cute Cardstock Matchbox Valentines feature one of two sweet messages: You Are My Perfect Match or There’s a Spark Between Us. Their playful puns make them ideal for the classroom, thoughtful notes for your kiddos, or a quiet little surprise for your sweetie. While they’re perfect for holding tiny Valentine’s treats, these are no one-trick pony. They  can just as easily be reused for notes, jewelry, or other small moments long after February has passed.

Another one of our favorite things about this project is how easy it is to make your own. While we’ve stuck to a classic Valentine’s palette of pinks, reds, and white — your Cardstock Matchbox Valentines can be customized to suit any style. High-contrast black, white, and red would feel bold and modern, while soft pastels would create a more romantic look. However you choose to create it, we know someone out there can’t wait to receive it!

Once your Cardstock Matchbox Valentines are complete, we’d love to see what you’ve created. So, don't forget to share your finished pieces on social media using #MadeWithLia, and remember to upload them to our crafters’ community as well.
