The Dollar Store Diva: Mint to be Valentines!

Here’s a FREE Valentine’s printable from the Dollar Store Diva!  York Peppermint Patties are my favorite, so I’m secretly hoping she’s sending me one. 🙂 Don’t miss her fun Valentines-by-Mail ideas as well!

Mint to be Valentines

Here’s an easy way to create a sweet Valentine card for someone you want to make smile on February 14th.

York Patties 3 010 (640x457)

Using these FREE Mint to be Valentines printables, print out the cards on cardstock, trim, and attach a York Patty. (They have them now in Valentine colors.) I attached mine with red and white paper clips from The Dollar Tree.

I also happened to have some CD sleeves that I had bought on a major sale. The card can be presented with or without the sleeve–as long as the chocolate is attached!

And how about this idea? Trim a Tic Tacs Mint to be Valentines printable tag and wrap it over the top of a container of Tic Tacs. I adhered mine with double-sided tape. For more fun, I used a red plastic paper clip to attach some red, black, and white thin ribbons.

And look–on the back is a special surprise: XOXO

But wait! There’s still more fun to come! Look around your house for any random containers you can part with. I have extra white ironstone cups, so I filled one with chocolate Kisses, added some red angel hair ribbon shreds (Dollar Store), and used the printable XOXO tag.

I also have an abundance of votive candle holders, so I filled one with peppermint sticks, wrapped some ribbon around it, and folded the Mint to Be Valentines in half to make a mini card. Then I punched a hole in the card to thread thin ribbon.

And there’s still that happy little Valentine message on the back of the card:

XOXO

    Hey, Tammy! Thanks for your kind comment. I really “mint” to send some loving to Kaley for Valentines Day, but I got so busy sending valentines to my [14] grandchildren that she got neglected. Thankfully she is the type who doesn’t hold a grudge 🙂 (Right, Kaley?)

    (Hope you get the Peppermint Patties ~ hint, hint!)
