A few quick notes on these Easy Valentine’s Gifts:
- Each bag has it’s own printable page so you won’t have to print more than what you’ll be gifting.
- Print the bag toppers on glossy cardstock paper. (Email the PDF’s to Staples/Office Max and print there for best quality.)
- To make cutting and folding the printable easy use a good Paper Cutter and a Scoring Board.
- I found that Zip-loc has the nicest looking snack-size bag, but any snack size bags will work.
- Do not print straight from the website file; make sure to first SAVE it to your computer and then print. If you’re still having issues, try a different browser or feel free to drop me an email!

Can these be printed on colored cardstock without the blue background?
Unfortunately not! Sorry Brandy!
Thank you for the great printables and tutorial! FYI- you may want to change the wording on your pdf. I had to sweet talk the manager at my local office supply store into making the copies for me, because they interpreted the copyright verbage to mean that as a business they would be infringing on the copyright by selling me the copies. Just wanted to let you know! Thanks again!
Thanks Laurel! And thanks for letting me know, I’ll see what I can do about the wording there!
These are so adorable and easy enough for kiddos to help! Love your ideas❤️
