Cricut Crafts for Valentine's Day

It's going to be February before we know it so let's get started on some Valentine crafts! You could just go to the store, but why not get some use out of that machine you spent money on? All you need for all three of these crafts is a Cricut (or Silhouette, ScanNCut or Siser Juliet!), a scoring tool, some cardstock and glue.

Let's start with my most favorite – gummy bears! I noticed the brightly colored bears in stores last year and had to make a paper version. So these aren't NEW this year, but according to Pinterest's 2026 Trend Report, this is the year for the gummy candy! Gimme Gummy they call it. I'm always up for nostalgia so I love this trend.

These cards use two shades of one color and white cardstock. Each bear is three layers that glue together to make such a fun design! My youngest daughter used these as her classroom exchange cards last year and her classmates loved them!

My second favorite are these little houses. The pieces are completely interchangeable so you can create your own design! These would be great for kids, teens or even adults. I taped mine to a ribbon to make a cute garland to decorate my mantel. If you were the unlucky parent chosen by the PTO – HA! This was me a few years ago. I was assigned to crafts and was a deer in headlights! So if that's you, don't stress! Buy a paper pack from the craft store and cut all of these pieces out in each color. The great thing about getting those paper packs is that they've already chosen five colors that compliment each other so you really can't go wrong mixing and matching the pieces! The houses shown were made from the Ice Cream pack from Hobby Lobby. I've been loving that one lately even though HL paper isn't my favorite.

Last is my heart jelly bag. Nostalgia again for the win! There are several other jelly bags in the shop too, but this one is perfect for Valentine's Day. They cut on one sheet of 12" x 12" paper and have four tabs to glue – easy peasy!
