I know it is kind of late but I figured I would finish what I said I would do and that was to share my boys valentine cards and boxes with you. I have already posted my 9 year old's cards that I made. Those were "My Singing Monsters". Today, I am sharing my other son's cards. We made Minecraft Valentine cards and made a Minecraft grass block Valentine box too that was SUPER easy to make!

Below, I will include the cards I made so that you may download them and use them for yourself.  I made them myself. I am not affiliated with Minecraft at all, my boys just really like the game and so we love to come up with new ideas that we can make or create. Please don't claim these as your own, don't use them to make profit from them. Give credit where credit is deserved. I have all of the resources on where I got the Minecraft characters from and can give them to you if you would like them. I did not make the characters myself but designed everything else. I have other ones that I made but I had to make them short and sweet for his class. So hopefully next year I will have more out.

The picture of these cards are terrible. I took it at night. Sorry.

I printed the cards out on glossy brochure paper and sprayed it with a varnish or protectant to keep ink from running.

Below is the box we made for his class to put their cards to him in. He LOVED this box and it was so easy to make!

We used a 4x4x4 size box but we probably will use a bigger one next year and then I found a grass block image on google images and cropped it in Photoshop to the size of my box for all 4 sides and the top and then carefully glued it on. I made the grass blocks a bit bigger than my box in case I needed that extra amount.

Then, I cut a hole at the top big enough for the cards to fit in and then cut a small hole and put a binder ring through the hole and then put the lid down so that you can't see the lid until you pull it up but the ring made a great handle to pull the lid up.

My pictures are terrible and they don't do the box or the cards any justice but TRUST ME it all turned out really well! We were so happy with the results and I think your Minecraft lover will too! 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
