It’s always fun to give a sweet treat to loved ones on Valentine’s Day! Gift cards and/or cash work well, too. In today’s post, I give instructions for creating a Valentine-themed gift card holder.
I use a variety of brand-new products from Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog. Be sure to watch the video below to see a visual of how this comes together.
