Canon Love

You might already know that I’m obsessed with my Canon printers and that I heavily rely on them for crafting. I love that I can create something in my home office, share it with you, and through the magic of the internet (and good paper) you can literally produce the same exact thing, miles away.

I mean… how cute are these hearts!?!

Regular Bubble Wrap

The hearts are mega cute but you don’t have to use them, regular ol’ bubble wrap works too and looks totally cute! Some stores also carry a pink bubble wrap that is like an anti-slip, I don’t know about it but that might work too.

SUPPLIES:

• Canon PIXMA TR8620 All-in-One Inkjet Printer
• Canon 8.5″ x 11″ Double Sided Matte Photo Paper
• Heart Bubble Wrap (available on both Amazon and Etsy), or regular bubble wrap!
• Flat Iron
• Paper trimmer or scissors

Canon Matte Photo Paper

I feel like I say this all the time but this Canon Matte Photo Paper is the BEST. The print quality is absolutely stunning compared to regular cardstock, which I think I should share with you live on IG because it’s so remarkable. The print of these Valentine cards is so crisp it almost looks laser printed. The printer settings are where the magic happens, I used:

• Rear Feed
• Matte Photo Paper
• Best Quality

Cut Down To Size

There are four Valentine cards on each 8.5″ x 11″ page and they are sized at 3″ x 4″ each. Cut each one out using a paper trimmer or scissors.

I’ve provided six colors: pale pink, hot pink, lavender, mint, blue, and red.

Bubble Wrap

Cut your heart bubble wrap down to size. I did 4″ x 5″ folded in half, or 4″ x 10″.

Bubble Wrap Pouch

This is SO fun!!! Turn your flat iron onto the lowest setting, for mine this was 240º f. Then use it like a crimping tool and melt the edges of the bubble wrap together to create a pouch for the Valentine card!

This works so easily and effortlessly that you must see it live, no mess or melting, it’s fantastic. Check out our Instagram REELS for a live view!

Add Cards To Their Pouches

Have your kiddos write their name and possibly notes on the back to their friends. Then slip the Valentine card into the bubble wrap pouch. There’s even room for a little candy or two!

Heart Bubble Wrap

I had no idea that this existed and now I’m obsessed, how could you not be!? My girls were super into it too, the oldest wasn’t even sure she wanted to pop them because they’re so cute!
