Batman Valentines for my son's kindergarten party using the Batman cricut cartridge

Hello, everyone! Today Joy and I are doing a super hero Valentine blog hop. We are also both giving away the Batman cartridge and the Superman cartridge. All you have to do is sign up to follow both blogs and leave a comment. We will each draw a winner on Wednesday of next week.

On to the valentines.....


I was so excited to get this cartridge because I knew that I was going to be able to make really cute Valentine cards for my son's kindergarten class. He really loves batman, so I got his seal of approval very quickly after I told him my plan.


This was cut at 41/2 inches and the only layer is the yellow bat. So, making large quantities of this project is super easy. I actually made 22 in about an hour and a half.


For the inside I just cut the paper 4" x 4". Then stamped it using a few stamps I had in my stash including a halloween stamp set that has the little bat you see. I went for total simplicity with this project, but you could add a little more for a bit extra. Maybe some glitter or liquid glass.

Now on to the giveaway....

Leave a comment on this post and sign up to follow this blog and on Wednesday I will draw for a winner of the very cool Batman cartridge. Even if you do not have a little boy like I do, it is a good one to have simply to make cute cards for any little boys in your life.

If you have not already been over to Joy's blog, make sure you head there now. She has made the cutest Superman Valentine card that any husband would love to receive. She is giving away a Superman cartridge to one lucky person who has signed up to follow her blog AND has left a comment on her Superman post.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend!

Cute cards. My boys used to have a batman bedroom when they were younger. Wall Art, sheets, bedspreads, I even found Batman fabric and decorated their windows and their bathroom. They loved it. This cartridge is on my wishlist. Thanks for the opportunity

GREAT VALENTINES CARDS WOULD ALSO MAKE AGREAT BIRTHDAY CARD

Carol said...

Oh how fun ... Your Son's entire class is going to enjoy these special BATMAN Valentines. Being old enough (gulp) to remember the original BATMAN series on TV, with Batman and Robin (Boy Wonder) jumping around in their tights and riding thru town in their batmobile ... you had to love the captions like "POW", "OUCH", and "ZONK", taking up the full screen. What fun memories those are. Thanx for the opportunity to win this cart and bring those memories back to life again!
Hugz,
♥Carol♥

MickeyMania said...

Great card, sounds simple!! Like I said on Joy's blog, these cartridges would be great to scrap my son's birthday party from a few years ago. We had a superhero training camp theme. The Batman one would be really cool because I cut a Batmobile out of a huge box and did pictures of the kids 'in' the Batmobile. Too fun!!

I need a cartridge with basic shapes and I am not familiar with that cartridge. Being new I also need a cartridge that has phrases and not have to print each letter to put on the card. I only have 4 cartridges. Love you work.
