Foil Stamped Valentine’s Day Cards

What would Valentine’s Day be without a little shimmer and shine? Well, it would still be Valentine’s Day, but it would be lacking something for those of us who are lovin’ the hot, hot, hot metallic foil trend. This fantastic bunch of love-themed greetings features foil stamped details that are anything but ho-hum and, if you’re a foil fan, I know that at least a few of these designs will catch your eye.

Cute, Illustrated Valentine’s Day Cards

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a big fan of the holiday itself, but Valentine’s Day cards and projects are some of my favorites. It’s such a fun holiday to design for, and I love seeing all of the punny sentiments and sweet illustrations that designers come up with. Plus, so many love-themed designs work year ’round, not just for Valentine’s Day, and that includes several of the cute, illustrated designs in this Valentine’s Day card roundup. So, you’ll be able to spread the love all year long, which is really how it should be, don’t you think?
