Valentine Treats with Mon Amour
Today, we are sharing more Valentine's Day goodies with you today! The LOVE fun doesn't end - it's only beginning. Arlene Cuevas has a brilliant project and tutorial for you today. Then, Donna Espiritu shares love with a handmade card. It's going to be a blast!
Who loves chocolate? **Raises Hand** Who loves handmade gifts? **Raises Hand** Then, Arlene has the Valentine's project for you!
"I created these cute little Giradelli Chocolate square holders for this Valentine’s day. I love how cute and simple they are to make, so I won’t be so intimidated with creating several of them for the kids’ teachers! I share a short tutorial to show you how to create the base of the favor. Just dress them up to your desire! Enjoy!
TIP: The brads are optional but they do hold the candy pocket to the matchbook better." ~Arlene
