There is no better gift than something handmade, and Valentine’s Day is all about crafting your heart out! I’m Karen from Lettering By Karen, and today I will be sharing with you a simple, definitely sweet Valentine’s Day gift that is bound to make that special someone smile. There are so many different ways to personalize this gift. I know I’m already thinking about the next one that I’m going to make! Let’s get started!
Materials you'll need:
- Small bucket
- Hershey’s kisses and hugs
- Oval template
- Chalkboard contact paper
- Liquid chalk markers
- Chalk
- Scissors
- Dry cloth
- Ruler (optional)
- Cricut (optional)
Step One
Gather your materials. If you’re using Kassa chalkboard contact paper, a cloth and chalk will come inside of the contact paper roll. Measure the side of your bucket to determine what size to cut the chalkboard contact paper. Today, I will be going over two different methods to cut your shape out of the contact paper. For this project, we will be using an oval.
Method 1:
Use a stencil to trace your shape onto the chalkboard contact paper. I printed out an oval on printer paper and cut it out to use as a stencil. Place your paper stencil on top of the contact paper, and trace it using a regular piece of chalk. Using scissors, trim along the chalk lines until you’re left with an oval sticker! The chalk will easily wipe off with a dry cloth.
Method 2:
This method requires a Cricut cutting machine (any cutting machine will do!), but is by far the easiest method that yields the best results. The Cricut software allows you to add shapes to your canvas. Choose “Shapes” and pick the circle option. With the circle selected, choose “Edit” and unlock the dimensions by clicking the little lock icon. For my small bucket, I chose to go with a 4” x 3” oval. Set the Cricut to the vinyl setting to cut out the chalkboard contact paper. Remove the excess contact paper once it is cut!
Step Two
Choose the saying that you’ll be writing on your label. I decided on “hugs ‘n kisses for my mrs;” it’s a fun rhyme and fits my choice of chocolate perfectly! To ensure that I wrote my words straight on the label, I used chalk and a ruler to add a few guidelines before getting out the chalk markers.
Make sure your chalk markers are primed and ready! If they are new or haven’t been used in a while, give them a good shake with the cap on and then pump the tip until it fills with ink.
Ok! Now you’re ready to write your saying. Get creative, and have fun with it! If you make a mistake, use a damp cloth to erase the liquid chalk ink. I used a Kassa 3mm fine tip white chalk marker for the words and Kassa metallic chalk markers in rose gold and gold for the XOXO in the middle!
TIP: If you’re using the bolder 6mm tip chalk markers, try turning the tip to the chisel side when writing smaller words. The small end of the chisel tip will give you a finer tip than the bullet tip.
Step Three
Once the liquid chalk ink has completely dried, use your dry cloth to gently wipe away any chalk dust. Peel the backing off of the chalkboard contact paper and place it on the bucket. Gently rub to secure the contact paper to the surface of the bucket.
Step Four
Are you ready? This is my favorite part! Now that the label is on, it’s time to fill the bucket with chocolate. Bonus points if you can manage to do this step without eating any!
Ta da! A beautiful, personalized Valentine’s gift for someone special. Please be sure to tag @kassa and @letteringbykaren with the hashtag #kassamoment when you make yours – we cannot wait to see your creations! Happy Valentine’s Day!

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can’t hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
