I made a coordinating 3×3 card, sometimes called a love note!

 

StampinUp Gluten Free Sweet Treats- you can find the recipe on my blog www.Stampingmom.com/... Stampin' Up! demo Beth McCullough #StampingMom

A tradition in our family is making Gluten Free Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas and other holidays. Back in the day when we first started making this, gluten free wasn’t a thing.  I adapted the recipe and it’s still very yummy!

With the addition of a cute tag, I’m ready to surprise and delight someone!  Stamping can be so quick and easy.  If you’ve never done it, you should try it.

Gluten Free Sweet Treats

  • 8 c. Gluten Free Rice Chex
  • 2 c. Peanuts (I use Trader Joe’s 50% Less Salt Roasted & Salted Peanuts)
  • 1 16 oz. M&M’s ( I typically use the holiday M&M’s)
  • 1 pkg. Almond Bark
  • 4 oz. Snyder of Hanover Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks

Melt Almond Bark in the microwave on low.  Mix in other ingredients and spread onto waxed paper.  Store in a covered dish.

Clean and Simple Valentine

When I saw the Global Design Project had the theme of Love for this week’s challenge, I knew my husband, Steve, was about to get a Valentine.

I was blessed to become best friends with my husband when we were 12 years old.  He asked me to marry him when I was 14 and we got married at 22.  I’ll save the 14 year old marriage proposal story for another day…

Steve is still the love of my life 40 years later so this shiny, sparkly Valentine is for him.

Yep, I did cut out the center of the Red Foil Sheet to make the heart for the envelope and because Stampin’ Up! Foil Sheets are more expensive than regular cardstock, but oh so worth it!  The red hearts on the card are punched from Red Glimmer Paper.
