Vintage Holiday Crafts and Free Printable Greeting Cards

I think dogs used to be less popular than they are now, because it’s much easier to find vintage images of cats. But I did manage to find these nice examples of vintage dog art that span quite a few decades. My favorite is probably the one with Santa having to bribe a bulldog with a dog biscuit. It isn’t the highest quality of the bunch as far as artistic value goes. But I like the silliness of Santa having to beg a dog just to deliver his toys.

Although I love the more colorful vintage Halloween art I’ve already posted, I know there are times when only black and white clip art will do. Most of the images below are vintage and come from Dover Publications. Two of them (the two owls on a tree branch and the spider web), however, are new and were created in Picnik.

As a cat lover, the Halloween black cat has always been close to my heart. And because up until a few months ago I had two black cats, these iconic images are even more interesting to me. I write this with tears in my eyes, because this particular portion of the Vintage Holiday Crafts collection is being posted in memory of Chad, one of my black cats, who passed away on April 14, 2008. But Chad and I shared many happy Halloweens together, so let’s call this an homage instead of a memorial!
