Print, Cut, and Create

It’s really as simple as putting 9 pieces of 80 lb cardstock in your printer and printing them out. Not a complicated process at all.

Then cut them out leaving as much or as little of the design whole as you want. I chose to keep them whole and use them in a really cute bunting and wall art for my walls. So it took me less than 5 minutes to go from print, to cut, and then use.

But I would challenge you, especially if you have children to let them explore and personalize them. Especially if they’re going to be those lifetime treasures we discussed earlier. Merely printed-out cards don’t hold much value, it’s the time, consideration, and handwritten words that make them treasures.

Valentines and vintage definitely pair together well, especially considering how whimsical the holiday makes me feel. I know one great way to use these Valentines would be as a postcard to a loved one far away, but here are 10 more ideas on how you can use these charming vintage cards.

Vintage Valentine’s Day cards can be used in a variety of ways, such as:

2. Graphic Elements. They are bright, colorful, and charming and would make wonderful additions to any junk journals, scrapbooks, or memory books!
3. Inspiration. Use them as inspiration for creating your own homemade Valentine’s Day card designs!

5. Valentine’s Day Bunting. It’s one of my favorite ways to display vintage cards (or even new cards!).
6. Party Decorations for a Valentine Theme. Incorporating them into a vintage-themed Valentine’s Day party or event decor is an instant yes for me. You could also cut out the cute little characters as a cake topper, and use the cards to create a banner. And can you say photo booth props?
7. Classroom Resources. Teachers, pair these with a treat bag for your students or use them as printable classroom valentine cards for classroom valentines.
8. Gift Tags. Imagine one of these lovely free printable tags atop a beautiful Valentine’s day gift like chocolates or fresh flowers. In fact, I’d swoon at the thoughtfulness and style!
