Who says Valentine’s Day has to be all hearts and flowers? Sometimes, a little humor is the best way to show love! Especially for guys. This card features a smooching cow to match the cheeky sentiment from a new stamp set by Unity Stamp Company. Something I think any guy would love for Valentine’s Day. I have a fun JAM SESH video for this snarky creation so you can see all that lip smackin’ fun in action.

Snarky & Fun Valentine

I love finding creative ways to stretch my stamps, and this card was the perfect opportunity! By adding some big, bold lips to this cow, I gave it a whole new look to match the snarky sentiment. The patterned paper strikes the right balance. Not too girly, but still fitting for Valentine’s Day. The easy layout makes it simple to recreate, especially for masculine cards, which can sometimes be tricky!

Why This Card Works

• Custom Altered Stamp – A simple tweak made this cow even more fun! I added some smoochtastic lips using a black pen & markers.
• Perfect for Guys – No flowers or frills, just humor and love.
• Quick & Easy Layout – No fuss, just a great design that works.
• Die Cutting for a Polished Look – The stitched banner adds just the right touch to make the sentiment stand out.
• Copic Coloring Magic – A little shading makes those lips pop!
  • Copic colors: Lips: R22; Cow: N1, N3, N4

I seriously love how this one turned out! A little humor goes a long way and this card is sure to get a good laugh. Don’t you think?
