Monkey Card Supplies:

* Paper Trimmer
* Small White Heart Doilies – one per monkey card
* Colored Cardstock Paper {I used a light and dark brown cardstock paper}
* Tape Runner Adhesive/Glue Stick
* Basic Paper Scissors
* Large Wiggle Eyes – two per monkey card
* Large Glue Dots
* Chocolate Heart Candies {one per monkey card – I used Reeses}

Directions:

* First things first with your monkey valentine card – whether using scissors or a paper trimmer, trim down your darker shade of brown cardstock into 5×5 inch squares. You will want ONE piece per valentine.
* Next use your tape runner to adhere your paper doily heart to the center of the cardstock. Repeat for each valentine. This is the monkey’s head.
* Grab your light brown cardstock and scissors. Cut out TWO half circle ears and a large oval shape for his nose/mouth area. Adhere those on to your valentine.
* Now take your wiggle eyes and adhere them on as well.
* Following that, use a large glue dot to add your heart chocolate to the oval shape to make his nose.
* Add other embellishments you see fit – like bows, glitter etc!
* Finally – it’s time to give your adorable monkey themed valentines away!
