Or find other sweet treats that you can use to make your Valentine's card truly sweet. (Preferably sweets that are reasonable flat so they will slide into an envelope when stuck to your card!) -Glitter pens, sparkles and even magic pens that write a secret message are all easy to find at your local craft store.
