Valentine’s Day is Coming
Valentine’s Day is coming February 14, 2013 and it’s time to get those heart shaped stamps out and make those cards. I know we just finished Christmas and New Years.
If you haven’t joined my email list, now is a good time…fill out the form in the top right hand corner of my blog.
Lots of ideas to get you making cards, scrapbook pages (you know those pictures you took at Christmas?) and handy techniques and tips.
Now, I have a question for you…
Are you a maker of cards or a sender of cards?
While we enjoy making the cards, do we actually send them out to people. Whether you hand deliver or snail mail them, everyone enjoys receiving a card in the mail. It doesn’t have to be for an occasion, sometimes a “Thinking of You” or a “Hello” card is just the thing to make someones day very happy.
I know I fall into the category of maker vs sender, and one of my new year’s resolutions (or goal) is to get those cards to a well deserving person.
So, I am going to keep a total of the cards I make and the cards I send. How about you? Are you ready to take up this challenge?

Yes, I made a template for the honeycomb on the front of the card. Lots of measuring, but I got it done. Maybe I could have been smarter and used MDS and then printed it on card stock and used that for a template.
So, I did a template to share with you
Just print my gift out on an 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of card stock and use to create those cards to send out.

I love the touch of yellow in your card and the fun polka dots today Karen, such a lovely Valentines Day Card, and what a great template for hexagons which are definitely all the rage at the moment. xx
Karen love your card and love the hexagon. I can’t believe with the hexagon being all the rage that Stampin’ UP hasn’t released a punch or a die… very disappoining.
By the time they do it will be old news.
hugs
Cute card, love making Valentines!
