Vintage Postcard Sunday....Vintage Valentine's Day Cards

Today I have a few Valentine's Day Cards to share with you from my collection instead of the usual postcards. These are from the 40's and early 50's.


One thing I just love about these really old cards is the inside was almost and sometimes prettier than the outside! There are usually 2 or more great images on each card. Some even have cute little images on the backs.


Sure don't make cards like that anymore do they?


You could incorporate these images into your cards, collage or altered art projects, ATC's and more!


Please feel free to use the images for your own use but please don't compile them onto a collage sheet to sell.


Thanks and enjoy!
