Have you ever wanted to hide a sweet surprise in a Valentine card?
This is a standard Easel Card Valentine with a sweet surprise.
If you’ve never created an Easel Card, here is a very easy tutorial. On my Valentine, I’ve made the size a little larger – the card is 6×6.
The sweet surprise is that in the bottom half of this Valentine, I’ve wrapped a Hershey Bar.
I added a panel of black cardstock, and scored it to make a little sleeve for the candy bar. I didn’t glue it, so the card doesn’t have to be destroyed to enjoy the candy. Apparently, no one wants to rip up the card to get to the goods! Nothing stops me from getting to chocolate.
Sometimes people ask about the buttons and other dimensional items, and if it makes the cards hard to mail, or expensive.
Once you get a certain size, you’re paying a premium anyway, so I just pop my cards in a bubble mailer or a small box, and grin and bear the cost of mailing. My only other option is to hand deliver, which I love to do! I don’t want to hold back on my creativity – so I say layer it on, and on, and on.

What a sweet surprise.
There are rolled pieces on the bottom of the card front. Are they really rolled pieces of paper or are they some other type of embellishment. I guess they match the depth of the candy bar when the card is folded. The card is really pretty. Good idea for the candy bar. Going to have to try that one. Thanks.
What a lovely Valentine card and the hidden chocolate bar is a fantastic idea! I like that this could be used for a man as well as a woman, though the Hershey bar is definitely a girl thing! LOL The strawberry buttons are adorable too. Great job, Allie!
