It's finally here. The day you've been waiting for. Okay--the day I've been waiting for. I can finally tell you why I've been sharing so many valentine printables! My hubby is going to be out of town this Valentine's Day, so the girls and I have been planning a secret gift for him (and he had better not be reading my blog right now!). We've been creating a package filled with 14 days of valentines.
So, if you have a long distance valentine (or a valentine close to home), I'm sharing 14 printable valentines plus 14 {Do Not Open Until} cards -- perfect for a fun Valentine gift idea!
This would be great for military spouses, college students, LDS missionaries, aging parents, and anyone who has a loved one far away. It would also be really fun to do for your kiddos or your hubby -- even if they live in your house!
Ready for the Valentines? Some you've seen already, and some are new. If there is a link under the Valentine, click it go to that post and download the file. If there is no link under the valentine, that means it is included in the printable at the end of this post.

Ready to create your own 14 days of Valentines? You can download your own set of 14 printable valentine cards by clicking on the link below.
Here are our gifts all ready to be packaged up and mailed to Daddy! If you plan to mail your gifts as well, you'll want to print the {Do Not Open Until} Cards, too! (Included in your download.)
I hope that wasn't too confusing. That was a lot of information for one post. That's why I've been frantically sharing valentines all month. There was no way I could put it all into one post! Have fun, and thanks for stopping by today!

What a (truly!) sweet, thoughtful idea! Daddy is going to feel so much love across those miles! I love the way you packaged everything too. I have been wondering about the surprise, but would have never guessed this one!
Heidi Fowler
Thanks so much, Joyce. Now Daddy just has to promise not to read my blog! (I usually wait to post things like this, but I just couldn't wait!)

These are all so cute!
Heidi Fowler
Thanks, Jaren. Making valentines is so much fun. Now if I can just stop eating the candy!
Bobbi
Hello, I just love your site. Thanks so much for sharing
Heather Heileson
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the big her0-6 tic tac valentine idea and one of my sons wants to do this. Thanks for sharing your talents with moms who struggle with creativity (me). My other twin wants to do the "I like the way you roll" valentine except use tootsie rolls (cheaper), but I can't figure out how to download your cute little rectangle with the saying on it. Please help?!?
Heidi
I'm so glad you like my ideas, Heather. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I didn't make a separate set of the Rolo valentines. (Maybe next year.) They are in the download of the tags for the 14 valentines at the bottom of this post (there is a download button for an "I love you" set and a "we love you" set. They are on the second page of the download. If you have access to any type of photo editing program, just open the pdf in the program, erase all of the extra valentines, and make copies of the one you want.

I love the You are the Sweetest Fish in the Sea, Valentine! I have the packages of the Swedish Fish candies. I send valentine packages to my great-grandchildren and include this and I volunteer at my daughter's school for 2nd grade and celebrate Valentine's Day and we play Valentine Bingo with prizes which the above is one of them! Also share Valentine I Spy, Valentine jokes and play with the Valentine cootie catcher.
Heidi
Hi, Liz. I’m so glad you’ve found so many ways to use my printables! Thanks for taking the time to say thank you. Happy Valentine’s Day!
