Vintage Valentines

February 4 By American Greetings

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and it just may have you thinking about love. We’ve been coming up with different ways to say “I love you,” since what seems like the beginning of time – which got us thinking about all the ways we’ve seen love expressed in greeting cards throughout history. So we did a little digging and found some amazing cards dating all the way back to the 40s. We also came across cards from the 50s and 60s. From elaborate cut-out designs to retro and adorable characters – styles and language may have changed, but one thing always remains…the love!

This blog post features one design from the 40’s, but we thought it would be fun to display more of what we found on our Pinterest page where you can see all the designs on a special board titled, Vintage Valentines Day.  Didn’t know we had a Pinterest page? Well, now you do and it’s the perfect place to visit to see our newest cards, birthday party theme ideas, special projects and all our blog moodboards!
