  4. Oh gosh that is so cute! you could do the same with a female super-hero as well! Fantastic idea!

  5. These are so great!! You are so creative. I just can't get over it.

  6. Those are the cutest idea I have seen this year. I am seriously trying to talk myself out of staying up tonight and redoing my son's valentines without his permission!

  7. Lorie,

    There's always next year.

    What did you make for your son's Valentine cards this year?

    ReplyDelete
  8. They are awesome, thank you! I am so saving this for next year! Maybe by then I will also have ink in the printer. :-p

  9. Jessica@Before The Dawn,

    LOL, sometimes I wonder how much I really pay to make Valentine cards when I calculate cost of printer's ink and time. Somethings are better left unknown.

  10. Hilarious!!! Those superheroes could save the world, one lick at a time. Cute cute templates - the masks are killing me!

    ReplyDelete
  11. These are really cute! Since young my son has always referred to a lollipop as a "SUPER-Lolly", because when you remove the wrapper, but leave it on the stick...it looks like a cape...you know what I mean? Anyway, these made me smile!

  15. Super adorable! I think I will be making a version of these for my son's superhero party this summer.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh, those are just too cute for words! Wish I had seen this before my daughter went to school today - her superhero-obsessed "boyfriend" would have loved one! (They're five years old - and no matter what my daughter says, you don't get to remove the quotes from around boyfriend until you're at least what, 13? 15? 25?)

  28. I found this post through The Crafty Crow and just wanted to thank you for your great idea. We didn't use these as valentine's BUT my son's 4th birthday is the 15th and we used them as favors for his party. They were a HUGE hit. Thanks again!

    ReplyDelete
  29. These are totally cute! I'm bookmarking this one!

  30. Just saw these on Pinterest!! Showing my sis...my niece wants a superhero sweet 16 next march and these would be so great as favors!! Great, great idea!! Thanks!

  32. Thank you! My son's class will love them.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love these! I am so making them for my son's kindergarten class! Did you just use a standard hole puncher for the stick holes?

    ReplyDelete
  34. These are adorable! I'm featuring them on my blog at Love Bug Living! http://www.lovebugliving.com/2012/01/pinterest-valentines-inspiration.html

  35. Perfect for my son's preschool class - All boys!

    ReplyDelete
  36. These are very cute! I just printed out enough for two of my boys' classes and it is a lot of ink! Just a suggestion; could you make the templates with just a black outline (not colored?) Then we could print them on any color cardstock we wanted and save ink too. Thanks again for the cute valentine!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I LOVE this and will be using it for my daughters class. Thank you! I am featuring it today!

    I am doing a segment on my local Fox affiliate's morning show about kids DIY Valentine's and wanted to know if I could bring this idea with me to show off?

  53. I had to tape my cape on. What did I do wrong? Very cute!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Sarah,

    Try pulling the cape over the wrapper part and it should stay in place on its own. (refer to pictures).

  66. These are very cute. You did a nice job with them.

    They are exactly like the ones featured in the Disney Family Fun magazine February issue.

    If you used them as inspiration, you should include a link back to the source in your article.

  67. Dear anonymous,

    Thanks for the concern. Actually, I'm the original designer of the Valentines and Disney bought the rights from me to use them in their magazine.

  75. Tried to print these off and the quality is awful when you make the picture bigger. Am I doing something wrong? I copy and pasted into a word document and then enlarged the picture.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Tara,

    Click on the image twice to make the picture its original size. Then, copy and paste. Hope that works for you :)
