The Dark Side of Valentine’s Day

My Creepy Valentine

What says “I love you” more than a Valentine’s Day card which features a feral cat that’s about to attach itself to your neck like a vampire who hasn’t had a drop of blood since flannel shirts were in style? My Creepy Valentine is the most disturbing, perverse and, in some cases, completely offensive collection of “vintage creepy” Valentine’s Day cards that the web has to offer.

Hey, maybe the cat’s just upset because he has a “Valentine Greetings” heart tied to his tail?

Notepolish Paperie

I recently discovered a fab new (to me, at least) online paper shop called Notepolish Paperie. They carry many wonderful paper items by a variety of independent stationers, including names such as Loosepetals, Ruby Ink, Sugar Bean, Swizzle Factory, and Joy! by Mel Lim, whose Sweet Bloom Card Set is pictured above.

Notepolish Paperie Custom

Notepolish also offers custom designs in a variety of styles for weddings and other special events.

Psst…it looks like they’re having a huge post-holiday sale, too!

Papered Together is on top of it and is offering some lovely nostalgic Valentine’s Day designs, such as the “Bee Mine” card above. $3.40 each at Papered Together’s Etsy shop.
