I really, really love cheesy Valentines — and if it’s a pun, that’s even better! I love receiving them, I love giving them, but most of all I love coming up with them. So, yes, “I soda like you” a lot! This cute punny soda Valentine is perfect for giving out at school, but adults can share this one as well. I made this easy Valentine’s Day craft using the writing feature on my Cricut, but those with better handwriting than me can definitely free-hand it.
How To Make Soda Valentine
Everyone will love these cheesy Valentines and what a fun way to let them know that you “soda” like them!
I chose to use my Cricut machine because I didn’t trust myself (or my handwriting) to free-hand my own cheesy Valentine’s Day message. If you are a hand-lettering pro or a calligraphy master, skip the Cricut steps and make your own messages!

Supplies Needed To Make Soda Valentine
- White Cardstock
- Cricut Cutting Machine
- Cricut Pen in Red
- “I Soda Like You” Cricut file
- Mini Soda Cans
- Tape
NOTE: Curious to see the difference between Cricut machines? I compared the Cricut Maker and Explore here!
Step 1: Access Soda Valentine Cricut File
Start by accessing the “I Soda Like You” Cricut file. Then, add the fine-point blade and a red pen to your machine. Finally, add 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock to your mat.

Step 2: Point And Click
Then, all you have to do is click Make; the Cricut will do the rest! I love the writing function of my Cricut because my handwriting is frankly not the best. I would never try to hand letter something like this.
However, using my Cricut machine allows me to give a gift like these cheesy Valentines without actually having to do any writing. Now, that is a win-win!
Step 3: Remove Excess Paper From Wraps
The file will draw the saying first, then cut out wraps that fit mini soda cans. Just remove any excess from around your wraps once completed.
Step 4: Tape To Finish
Then remove each wrap from the mat, wrap around the can, and secure with some tape.
Have A Valentine’s Day Crafting Party
Once your soda cans are decorated, why not throw a Valentine’s Day crafting party?! Below are some fun craft ideas that you can make with your friends!
- Make Your Own Cards – There are so many great Valentine’s cards out there — both with and without the puns. These cute llama and truck cards are always a huge hit, and they’re both super easy to make. After all, handmade cards are the best cards, right?
- Create Valentine’s Day Decor – You know me, I’m always looking for an excuse to make new decorations for my home! What can I say, I love to change things up and enjoy the festivities all year round. If you want to put some Valentine’s Day charm in your house this year, try this beautiful rustic sign with a love quote or make your own Valentine wreath to hang on your door.
- Craft Some Fun Gifts – Valentine’s Day gifts should always be fun, simple, and heartfelt — but that doesn’t mean they have to be expensive or even store-bought. Make a sugar scrub or homemade beauty products for your friends, and let the kids make Valentine heart boxes to add treats to later!

FAQs About Soda Valentine
Here are a few common questions that I often see readers asking about making this soda Valentine. If you have a question, please check if I’ve already addressed it below. If you don’t see your question listed, please leave it in the comments!
What Cricut Machine Can I Use For This Project?
Since we are using the drawing feature, the best machines for this project are the Cricut Joy, Cricut Maker, or Cricut Explore series.
Will This Cut File Work On Regular Soda Cans?
I designed this cut file to work on mini soda cans. Due to that, if you cut the file out as is, it won’t work for regular-size soda cans. However, you can adjust the cut file and the size of the paper wrap in Cricut Design Space to work with a regular-size soda can if you wish.
Can I Change The Color Of The Pen?
Yes, you can! I used a red pen because it matched my Coke can and gave off a more ”Valentine’s Day vibe”. However, if you are using another soda brand, you can use a pen color that matches that soda can instead.
How Would I Make This Soda Valentine Without a Cricut?
To make this project without a Cricut, you would do the following:
- Cut a piece of paper long enough to wrap around your soda can.
- Write the phrase ”I Soda Like You” in the middle of the paper.
- Wrap the paper around the soda can and tape it into place.
