Once candy heart lollipops are finished and have reached room temperature, wrap lollipops in desired colored foil wraps. Tie a ribbon around each lollipop stick.
Cut a hole out of the front of the card in the shape of a heart or use pre-cut window card. Tape the foil-wrapped heart lollipop to the inside page of the card, with the heart shape of the lollipop lined up with the cutout design in the front cover (so that the lollipop shows through when the card is closed).
Decorate the front of the card with stickers. Use markers to personalize each card with your own message. Personalized candy cards make great favors, romantic gifts and get-well cards.
