Last year was the end of handmade valentine cards – for my son, at least. We made photo cards with lollipops (adorable, right?), but  apparently he was the only kid in his first grade class who did not hand out store-bought cards. SO embarrassing. Oops. I may have one more year of creativity with my daughter. She still thinks handmade is cool.

For those of you who want something in between Lightning McQueen valentines, and a table full of scissors, glitter, and glue, minted is now offering classroom Valentine’s Day cards that are reasonably priced at $16 for 15 cards. They’re 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, so they’re not big enough to send through the mail, but perfect for handing out to friends. And they’d like to give a set of these valentines to one of you!

Here are some of the designs:

Minted also has full size Valentine’s Day cards, but I’m pleased to say that I already have my family’s full size Valentines’ Day cards ready to address and send. Okay, so maybe they have ornaments on them, and they’ve been sitting on my kitchen counter for two months, but that’s not stopping me from pretending like I’m totally on the ball. I’ll have the kids draw some hearts on the envelope, and we should be in good shape.

Enough of my jabbering. So how can you enter to win a set of 15 classroom Valentine’s Day cards? It’s easy. Just leave a comment on this post.

Congratulations to Ash, who was randomly selected as the winner of this contest!
