Don’t you just love making homemade Valentines?  I made these last night using Pixy Stix for the arrows.  When I had made one, my daughter (almost 11) says, “Could you make 30 more of those”?  She wants them for her class now.   Her dad told her to start cutting out hearts:)

On these I used one of the stamps from the Love You Much Bundle from Stampin’ Up!  Also the Heart to Heart Punch from that set to make the arrow ends.   This is another one of those projects you can decorate however you want and run with it.  Love those kind of things, don’t you?

On thing to remember when doing these is that a regular hand held punch (1/8) is just a little bit too little for a Pixy Stix to go through.  I just moved my punch over and enlarged the hole a little.  At first I tried to force it through, but don’t do that or the stick will break and that powder will come flying at you before you can say “Pixy Stix!”.  It went all over my work area!  You have to fold the hearts slightly too in order to get the stick through because the Pixy Stix don’t really bend.  I didn’t fold mine completely with a crisp crease, just folded them slightly but I think they’d be cute either way.

Before some of you ask, I’ve made a heart template for you with 4 different hearts.  You’ll find it here.
