Now, let’s chat about how to print out the car cards.

Preparing Your Cars Valentine Cards

I recommend using white cardstock for printing the Valentine’s cards. By using thicker paper, it will be easier to string the ribbon through the hole punches at the top.

After printing your Cars Valentine Cards cut them out with scissors or a paper-cutter. If you are using the cards as they are then all you have left to do is fill out the names & you are good to go!

But maybe you want to attach them to race cars or bags? Then keep reading for our tips on how to do so easily.

If you are planning on attaching them with ribbon or string to a bag, make sure you are leaving enough paper at the top. This space will be used for the ribbons to be slipped through.

Or if you run out of time and don’t have any ribbon, a staple is effective to attach the cards to a bag too. We’ve all been there, no one shall judge you for a lack of ribbons!

Options for if you are gifting cars

If you are going to be handing out cars along with the cards, then these next steps will be for you.

Before we get any further, here is my time-saving tip:

It is much easier to write the names on the cards BEFORE you attach them to the bags!

I know that isn’t a huge tip. But if you are short on time or have a beginning writer, it is a lifesaver. Writing on flat cards is much easier, trust me. Trying to write on them after they have been attached to a bag or car can be a little difficult.

USING THE CARDS WITH BAGS

If you are going to drop the cars into bags, this is easily done. If you want the toy cars to be totally visible, then use clear party bags.

Another option would be bags that are clear but have Valentine’s Day themes to them. These Valentine’s cellophane bags are super festive!

Now you can either place the card in the bag with the car, or you can attach it to the outside.

If you attach it, you can use a ribbon to close the bag. Or you could also thread it through the closure provided with the bags you bought.

This red ribbon would work great, as well as this red & white striped twine.

Finally, if the bag is extra tall, you can cut off the top. Pick a height that balances the portion you used on the bottom.

USING THE CARDS WITHOUT BAGS

If you don’t wish to use bags but still want to attach them to cars, then you are going to need to use ribbon or twine.

I love the way that the cards look attached to the cars. But I will admit that getting the cards attached this way can be a challenge.

You can wrap the twine several times around the car to make it more secure or try double knotting.

A word of warning, be careful using the wheel of the car to thread ribbon or twine through. When the children try to unwrap it they might pop the wheels off.

ONE MORE OPTION FOR USING THE CARDS

If you love the cards but don’t want to hand out cars the cards will work on their own. You would still have super cute Valentine Cards, without the cost of the cars.

If you want to make the cards have a little more pop you could attach them to colorful scrapbook paper. You could also add the ribbons to the top of the cards.
