Of course this theme called for some handmade Valentine-themed goodies. The card was kept simple and you might think the hearts are on top of the white piece of cardstock, but they are not. Instead, I used our Heart Thin Cuts to cut the hearts out of the white cardstock. Then, I used patterned paper to back the hearts for a simple and attractive look.
The pillow box on the right, gifted to me by my friend Shari Froeming, is a clear pillow box filled with cherry sours (yum). A simple tag, cut from the Cricut, and some hearts cut from our Red and Silver Glitter Paper provide for a cute and inexpensive gift. Of course, ribbon is always necessary to finish it off!
I hope you like these DIY handmade treats, perfect for Valentine's Day. They can also be altered to fit various themes throughout the year and are super simple to make.

I love getting hand made cards and gift tags, the thought and effort shows. The pillow box filled with treats is such a great idea too.
