Hello there!  Today I am sharing a super cheesy pun card for Valentine’s Day.  This DIY You Are Spec-tacular Card is perfect for the nerd or hipster in your life.  Or, in mine and my husband’s case, someone who wears glasses.  This card is easy to make and I have provided a free printable later in this post so you can make your own.

 For this card I used:

• Wooden Glasses embellishment
• Paint
• Scrapbook paper
• Pre-made cards
• You Are Spec-tacular printable 

First I started by painting the wooden glasses with acrylic paint that matches the scrapbook paper I chose.  I bought the wooden embellishments at Michael’s. 

While the paint was drying, I printed the “YOU ARE SPEC-TACULAR” on a piece of 6 x 6 scrapbook paper.  I have made an easy printable later in this post with instructions.  I used My Mind’s Eye Cut & Paste Flair paper pad.  I really love the pink and red ombre of the paper above.

I removed the scrapbook paper from the white printer paper and cut the edges to fit onto a pre-made card.  I keep a couple boxes of pre-made cards on hand to use for craft projects.

Then I adhered the scrapbook paper and wood glasses to the pre-made card using adhesive tape.  You could use a glue stick or another form of adhesive if you’d like. 

That’s it!  I wanted the cards to be super simple but you can add more embellishments if you would like to.

The inspiration for this card came from a card I found at Paper Source.  I LOVED the card and was going to order it, but it was sold out.  I really really wanted the card, so my only option was to make a DIY version.

I actually had all the materials I needed to make this card in my stash of supplies.

After you have printed the design on computer paper, tape the corners of a piece of 6 x 6 scrapbook paper in the square I have provided on the printable.  Then print for the second time.  Remove the scrapbook paper from the computer and trim to fit a standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 pre-made card.
