Free Vintage Kids Valentine Cards

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.

January 17th, 2009 Holiday Crafts Posted in Flowers, Free Greeting Cards, Free Vintage Art, Hearts, Men, Valentine's Day, Victorian, Weddings and Bridal Showers, Women 3 Comments »

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

December 31st, 2008 Holiday Crafts Posted in Angels and Cherubs, Flowers, Free Greeting Cards, Free Vintage Art, Hearts, Valentine's Day, Victorian, Women 4 Comments »

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 women’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!
