Gum-Filled Valentine Greetings

DIY Gum Valentine’s Day Cards Can Be Sweet

As February 14th approaches, DIY Valentine’s Day Cards make for classic thoughtful gifts. A great way to add a twist to classic Valentine’s cards is attaching gum. The DIY Gum Valentine idea was created by Aly D on the 'It Happened Like This' blog. The creatively crafty mom made rainbow sherbet sugar-free infused Valentine’s cards for her kids and their classmates.

The cards are easy to make and cost-effective. The gum DIY Valentine’s Day cards have a stripped postage-stamp card base, making the cards look like they’ve traveled far and wide. Adding a quote to the front with one of your Valentine’s favorite pieces of gum or candy is just the sweetest final touch. The best part of crafting your own Valentine’s cards is personalizing every detail, from the font to the candy.
