EOS Lip Balm Valentine School Printables

I remember having to pick out the most perfect Valentine’s Day cards ever. It was such an ordeal. I remember grabbing 2 or 3 boxes and looking at each one repeatedly, trying to pick the perfect one. And then, when I got them home, I had to sit there and figure out which of the cards went to. Did my best friend get the best card?

Or did I give it to the girl who threw up all over her desk last week and still cried about it to be nice? It was such a big thing; I don’t think that has changed.

At the grocery store the other day, I saw at least five little girls wigging out over Frozen V-Day cards. I have a feeling that many kids will get the same cards on repeat for 2016. 🙂 But then there were those kids who thoughtfully looked at their favorite characters with their faces scrunched up. I could see the wheels turning in their heads like they used to turn in mine.

I still like to give out little Valentine’s Day presents, and when I worked in a big ol’ office, I gave everybody a card. They had to go through the courier to other offices, but I liked doing it. I have far fewer people to give to, so I can personalize them more. This little project is perfect for that. These Eos lip balm cards are fab for your girlfriends or kids to give their best friends. 🙂

How to Make EOS Lip Balm Valentine School Printables

I don’t know about you, but my home printer can’t print black for anything. It’s always gray with lines and gobbles up all of my ink. It’s expensive and subpar at best. SO… I decided instead to design these as 4×6 cards so that you can have them printed at the photo studio. Since you have some time, you can mail order them for the best prices. I got 6 for $1.23 with tax printed locally at the 1 hour, which was pricier than waiting a bit. I was told that if I had ordered them online in the mail, they would have only been $0.06 each plus a minimal shipping charge – that was Walmart, FYI.

So, there are the images you’ll need to print at your photo lab. On most computers, you can right-click and choose “save image as…” You can then put the image somewhere you can find it, order your pictures online, or transfer it to a flash drive to use a kiosk at your pharmacy or big-box store.

Now, the main planets are placed, and you can access them with a large circle punch like this one. 1.5 inches is pretty perfect.

Now I know my hands look pretty grody, but I swear they are clean 🙂 I’ve been staining wood left and right and inadvertently staining my hands as well 🙂

Since I’m only giving these to people I know when I know they trust me enough to know I didn’t do something grody to the lip balm. I like opening the balm entirely because it looks better, but you can also glue it in or on the cards.

All you need to do is screw the balm back together with the card in between the caps.

Boom! Hey there, cutie, you’re out of this world 🙂

And that’s all there is to it! I’ve done all the hard work, so you must save your pictures, run out to your favorite store to print them, and grab some EOS lip balm. Your loved ones will love knowing you think they are the balm. (I almost did “you’re the balm” printables instead.)

Happy Valentine’s Day card-making!
