Hot Air Balloon Valentine Card Supplies:

* Paper Trimmer
* Small Red Heart Doilies
* Colored Cardstock Paper
* Tape Runner Adhesive/Glue Stick
* Large Glue Dots
* Chocolate Heart Candies per valentine card {I used Reeses}
* Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

* First things first with your hot air balloon valentine card – make your card shape. Simply fold a large piece of cardstock paper in half and trim it down if needed.
* Next use your tape runner to adhere your paper doily heart to the center of the cardstock. Repeat for each valentine. This will be the balloon aspect.
* Now grab your black Sharpie marker.
* Draw a “basket” coming from the heart shape. You can also draw on some clouds and a person inside the basket.
* Go ahead and also write your clever “you make my heart soar” saying around the design. You can also use the phrase “love is in the air” as well!
* Finally the last step – use a large glue dot to add your heart chocolate to the heart shaped hot air balloon.
* Add other embellishments you see fit – like small heart stickers, glitter etc!
* Finally – it’s time to give away your adorable paper doily valentine card away!
