Vintage Christmas Cards: Here Come the Cats!

July 10th, 2008 HolidayCrafts Posted in Animals, Cats, Christmas, Free Greeting Cards, Free Vintage Art 2 Comments »

I’m a big cat lover, so that’s why you see images of cats popping up on Vintage Holiday Crafts. (Dog lovers, I’ll have some images for you soon.) Each of the vintage Christmas cards below feature cats or kittens and are beautiful examples of classic vintage art. There’s even one design that originally had texture on the card, which translated pretty well to digital form.

Vintage Halloween Black Cats

January 17th, 2008 HolidayCrafts Posted in Animals, Cats, Flag Day, Free Greeting Cards, Free Vintage Art, Halloween 1 Comment »

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!
