For holidays, the BF and I like to do something together instead of exchanging gifts, but we always exchange a card. Psssst....he picks the best ones! I re-read them all the time!
With Valentines coming up (in 18 days!), I thought I would share two card ideas I did for my lover that he absolutely loved. It was a big hit with his roommates and my guy friends as well. One guy even took a picture and sent it to his girlfriend for her to do next time! Lol!
They're both easy, just time consuming, and they won't cost you a pretty penny.
The first is a candy bar card, it's pretty common, but people forget about it. You just write out a message using candy for part of the words. It gets kind of hard sometimes to think of lines, but it's fun to be creative. I found that it was easier to list a bunch of candy first, then see what I could make of it. I did this card for his birthday and it was a lot of fun to make. PS several of my friends made fun of me for this card, but 3 of them have since copied my great idea!
The second card I did for Valentines Day last year. On the front I put "I love you more than..." and then cut out what felt like 100s of hearts (really wish I had a die-cut) by hand and put things I enjoy on them. Then on the inside I did the ABCs of what I love about him. This card took more time than I thought so I would suggest starting soon. Like today. My friends made fun of me for this card too (why do I keep asking them for help with ideas???) but they all loved the finished product.
I haven't thought of my card yet for this year, we're going to the zoo that day (if my beau can get a decent shift at work anyways) so I want to do an animal theme. Please, if you have any ideas, send them my way!

How cute!!! This year I am making a candy bouquet, i've done it in the past but not for a while. You hot glue candy bars to like kabob skewers and then you place in a vase, I guess I need to make this week or next.. ekk!!
That's such a cute idea! I love it! I think I might do that for the BF this year....thanks cutie!
These are such cute ideas!!!
These are such cute ideas! I definitely want to steal them both!! I've been reading your blog from day one this week and I love it! I had many comments from before but I didn't post them (obvi). The general message...I love your blog!
I'm writing these two down NOW so I don't forget them for next month.
