"You're One In A Minion" Twinkie Valentine's Day Card

Ever since the movie Despicable Me 2 was released,  the Minions seem to be the craze. I know here, we had a Christmas full of Minions! I had so much fun making these little guys for my children and their friends!  I used black and blue felt along with grey card stock for the goggles and foam hearts that I had on hand, but these can just as easily be made using all construction paper.  I have seen another version of this with a card that said "I've been Minion to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!" You could also write,  "I've been Minion to ask you, will you be my valentine? " The possibilities are endless!  Make one for your favorite minion! Even better, make some with your little minion for his best minions, I mean friends!

 

Quick Treats for My Sweet Valentine's

With Valentine's Day a few days away, I decided to put some of these simple treats together for my boys and my husband. Each of them just took minutes to put together. I used large foam hearts that I had left over from last year as the base, but you can just as easily cut a heart out of cardboard for the base. I used a hole puncher to make a hole at the top of the heart and tied a piece of ribbon through it. I then glued their favorite small candies to the heart with my low temp hot glue gun.

 

 

My husband's is mad of Snickers-- his favorite sweet treat!

I really wanted to use the Valentine's Day Snickers, but I was unable to find them.

The red and pink wrappers would have added a festive touch, but these will work just fine for him.

For my boys, I used Hershey Kisses. What better way to say "I Love You?"
