Free Vintage Kids Valentine Cards

Holiday Crafts — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:33:25 +0000

I absolutely love these colorful vintage kids Valentine cards. They come from different eras but seem to be mostly from the mid-20th century.

Some of the expressions on these cards aren’t heard much these days. An example is the sock saying “‘Darn’ it.” People still say “darn it,” of course, just not in reference to sewing up holes in their socks. I’m sure many of the crafters who visit this site will know what darning is, but how many people actually darn their socks any more? Arcane references like that are part of what makes these cards charming. Also cute is the fact that the people who created these kids valentine cards had no fear of being corny, because the designs were aimed at children. So this is your opportunity to be as corny as you want this Valentine’s Day; just blame it on the art.

Free Vintage Angels and Cherubs Clip Art

Holiday Crafts — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:57:43 +0000

Who doesn’t love angels and cherubs? These adorable vintage angels and cherubs are perfect for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, weddings, or any time you want to convey sweetness. They also go well with our vintage roses clip art.

There are all kinds of opinions about whether angels and cherubs really exist. But when it comes to their existence in vintage art, there is no question. Artists of old loved the subject of these little heavenly helpers. You can see evidence of that everywhere in ephemera that has been passed down through the generations, scanned and put online. We’re fortunate so many good examples have survived the passage of time, so we can bring them to you!

It’s summertime as I write this, so the flowers are in bloom. The vintage roses below, however, are always in bloom — even though most are decades old. These beautiful vintage free clip art roses span from the Victorian era to the mid-twentieth century, and they’re just as beautiful now as the day they were created.

If you love flowers (and who doesn’t?), you might also enjoy our collection of beautiful assorted vintage flowers. See our vintage angels and cherubs too!

Free Vintage Valentine’s Day Cards: Romantic Couples

Holiday Crafts — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:55:29 +0000

These free vintage Valentine’s Day cards feature what this February holiday is all about: romantic couples in various stages of Valentine’s Day love. There’s a gorgeous illustration of a couple in a paper moon, which is an image that used to be very popular but you hardly ever see today. There are also a few cartoon couples using nursery rhymes to deliver their Valentine messages. And there are quite a few that feature kissing, hugging, dancing and other chaste vintage acts of love, many among the flowers and hearts that are so iconic for Valentine’s Day. But you don’t have to restrict the use of these vintage cards to Valentine’s Day. Because of their romantic nature, some of these cards would even be useful for vintage wedding or bridal shower cards or favors.

Free Vintage Valentine’s Cards: Pretty Women

Holiday Crafts — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:35:51 +0000

When preparing to post my vintage Valentine cards, I divided them into categories. It turned out I had so many Valentine cards with women on them, I made that a category. But when it came time to choose the cards that would actually go on the site, I decided I should use only pretty women. Love makes us all pretty, yes? Granted, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my opinion these vintage ladies are pretty. Some of the poetry is a little questionable, but what the heck. (See the poem on the card with the woman’s head coming out of the purple morning glory. I have no idea what it means.)

As lovely as these pretty women are, I’m sure you’ll also want to visit the Valentine art resources linked below, as well as those in the sidebar. I hope you have fun downloading and that you enjoy Valentine’s Day!
