Make a Candy Bar Card

Just thought I would share a candy bar card that I made for my daughter, Callie for her birthday.

In case you can't read it, here is what it says:

Dear Callie,
I had 100 GRAND to spend for your birthday but I couldn't get to 5TH AVENUE to shop because of all the snow.
So I decided to give you some words of wisdom instead.

1. Keeping the Commandments will bring a big PAYDAY NOW & LATER!

2. Watch out for girls/guys that are AIRHEADS. They can be MOUNDS of trouble.

3. Be wise as a serpent and gentle as a DOVE.

4. Always try your best to SKOR high grades.

5. Be careful so nobody plays TWIX on you.

6. Oh, and stay away from boys...because they're all NERDS!!! (except dad, of course)

Don't SNICKER

We Love You to RIESES PIECES!!!!!!!!

Mom & Dad

A Creative Valentine

Instead of going to the store and buying Valentine cards for your loved ones...get creative! It's fun & fairly easy to do! Best of all the person you give it to will be thrilled to know you took the time to do something so personalized for them!

I have done these for birthdays too. In fact I made one for our daughter's 20th birthday and our 12 year old daughter told me that she wanted me to make her one for her birthday...well she just had her birthday a couple weeks ago...and I forgot to make her a candy bar card. Luckily she forgot too! So...guess what she will be getting for Valentine's Day?? Yep, a Valentine's Candy Bar Card!



How to Make a Candy Bar Card

Write down the names of candy bars

Come up with something cute to write using the names of the candy bars

Now, go buy all the candy bars that you will need and a large poster board

Space everything out on the posterboard before you start hot gluing the candy bars. You may want to use your printer to print out your words so that you can cut them to properly fit on the posterboard.



A few ideas to get your creative mind a flowing

My Dearest (Sugar Baby):
Happy Valentines Day. May this bouquet bring you a (Snicker) as you read my message. It will not make you (Chunky) and I am not playing (Twix) on you.
You are my (Bit-O-Honey), you are worth more than a (100 Grand) to me, I get (Goo Goo) eyes every time I see you.
Our (Good-N-Plenty) life together is like shopping on (5th Avenue) on (Pay Day). I wish you (Mounds) of (Almond Joy) on this Valentines Day.
Hugs and Kisses
(Now and Later)

OR if you like you can make a Candy Bouquet like this


and just make a heart shaped card to include the candy bar poem.


Now go have fun & get creative!!

Let me know when you come up with your own creative sayings for your candy bar card.

A Sweet Card!

Have you ever made or received a candy card? They are so much fun! I've given hubby a couple over the years on Valentine's Day. Basically all you do is write out what you want to say for whatever occasion & use words of candy/candy bars. You then write it out on poster board and glue the candy where you would use that word. Am I totally confusing you? Just look at the one I wrote for my daughter's upcoming birthday. The candy is in red.

Dearest Daughter,

We can’t believe your 20 years old already! Seems like just yesterday you were our sugar babies.
You have given us mounds of almond joy over the years. We really skor’d when God blessed us with you! We wouldn’t trade those memories for anything , not even 100 grand!
You have proved that you can tootsie roll with the punches even on a rocky road and that you’re no dum dum. In fact you are a real smartie! There will be a symphony of praise as we witness you achieve your goals like your first payday as a nurse and when you become a nurse practitioner! Then you will be able to shop on fifth avenue if you want. Just don't go nutrageous!

Have skittles of fun & a carefree birthday! Have an extra piece of cake & don’t worry about getting chunky. Our wishes for you are good & plenty! We love you to reeses pieces and will always be here for you… now & later. Remember when you get in a crunch, Jesus is your lifesaver!

Hugs & Kisses
Mom & Dad
