Are you ready for Valentine's Day? If you have a Silhouette, here's a quick and easy Tootsie Pop Valentine idea. (If you don't have a Silhouette, and you don't mind doing a lot of cutting, I've got a printable for you, too.) Aren't these Tootsie Pop Super Valentines adorable?
Tootsie Pop Valentines {Valentine, You're Super!}
I've had my Silhouette since just before Christmas, and I finally had time to try it out. I'm in love. It is so cool to watch it cut things out and then peel off the extra paper to reveal the design. I don't think that will ever stop being fun! I'm so excited to be able to post my first free cutting template! (I've also included a free printable version.)
*1/26/14--A reader just let me know that the pdf version of the tags was missing from the download. I'm so sorry about that! It has now been added. Thanks, Anna!
*The fonts used are Impervious and A Truer Blue.
I hope you enjoy these tootsie pop valentines as much as my kids did, and to answer the "are you ready" question . . . I'm not!!! These valentines are for Boo and Lu to give to their friends, but Bear wants something completely different. I'm still working on that idea!

Gretchen Mills
Just saw these and would love to make them for my son's kindergarten class this year, but the link for the printable isn't working. Not sure if its my computer or the link. Thanks.
Heidi Fowler
Hi, Gretchen. I just tried the link from the Firefox and Chrome browsers, and it worked in both. Are you clicking on the Download Link picture or on the pink text below the picture?
Heidi Fowler
Hi, Gretchen. Just in case you still haven't been able to get this to work, I added a second download link that is not a zip file. It should open the pdf in your browser so that you can print it. Enjoy!
Scarlett
I live these! I saw something similar in a catalg, but wayyy too expensive! What a great DIY - I was wondering how they could be done easily at home. Pinning!
Heidi Fowler
I'm glad you found it, Scarlett! Nobody likes to spend money from a catalog, right?
jelli
Heidi, this is super cute! What a fun change from conversation hearts. Love this idea. Pinning.
Heidi Fowler
Thanks, Jelli. It was really fun to do with the kids.
Shannon
My sons love these and would like to use them for their valentines this year. Do you by chance remember the name of the font? It's one that I don't have downloaded, because when I open it in my Silhouette it just comes up in a plain font. Thanks for sharing!
Heidi Fowler
I totally forgot that the fonts wouldn't automatically show on the Silhouette. The fonts I used are Impervious and A Truer Blue. (Both were likely downloaded from dafont.com.)
Good luck! I hope they work for you, Shannon.
Mackenzie @ Cheerios and Lattes
Super cute Heidi! My little guys would love giving these to their friends! :)
Abby @ Just a Girl and Her Blog
Ok, my boys would go absolutely crazy over these! How CUTE!!! Thanks so much for sharing at Hit Me with Your Best Shot! Hope to see you back tonight!

Sara
Quick question..... I love the Tootsie Pop V-day craft. For supplies for the tags and glasses - any suggestions for materials?
did you use simple construction paper? A sharpie for the lenses of the sunglasses?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
Sara
Heidi
Hi, Sara. This is a printable project. No sharpie needed! Just click the download icon to download the file (it's in a .zip format, so the printables are inside the .zip file). The files are offered in svg format (for a Sillouette cutting machine) or pdf format. If you don't have a Silhouette, just print the pdf files of the capes on one color of cardstock and the masks on another color. Then cut them out and put the treats together. Have fun!
Terry
Thanks so much for this - I work at a University and I like to do something for the Professors in my department and the student workers. You made it very easy for me this year! Appreciate it very much!
Heidi Fowler
I bet they'll love it! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Terry!
Terry
They loved them! Everyone thought I was so crafty- I gave you credit for the design - wish I could come up with things like this myself - one day I will but in the meantime - thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!!!
Andrea
LOVE! But I'm still not seeing the PDF for the tags. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!!
Rikki Lazenby
hello! our girl scout day camp has a super hero theme this year and I wanted to make these cute lollipops for my volunteers. I can't seem to be able to get the cape portion to work. Any chance you could email it to me? Was hoping I could take off the valentine part and add our camp logo our some form of thank you message. Would really really appreciate it and thank you for sharing!
Lisa
Any chance I could do this on my Cricut?
Heidi
So sorry, Lisa. My site was having issues, and I never saw this comment until today!
Jennifer

Love these! What did you use to attach the mask?
