2012 Valentine’s Day Cards, Part 4

Today’s Valentine’s Day card roundup includes a number of cheeky greetings for those who like a little irreverence in a Valentine’s Day greeting. Don’t worry, there are plenty of sweet greetings, too, but be warned that the words “naked” and “vomit” will be making an appearance. *wink*

These “love day” greetings from Wit & Whistle make me giggle:

Custard Cat Gocco Print

I recently discovered the work of UK-based illustrator, Moira Millman, and am completely taken with her fun and quirky style. These are a few of the limited edition gocco screenprints available in her Etsy shop, and you can check out her portfolio of illustration and hand lettering work at moiramillman.co.uk.

Zodiac Matchbook Jotters

Rock Scissor Paper recently launched their new Zodiac Collection, and I think that these little matchbook jotters are so cute. The 3×5 inch jotters – small enough to tuck into your pocket – are available in every sign of the zodiac and contain 60 sheets of lined recycled paper for notes and doodles.

Weekly Wrap

Red & White DIY Gift Wrap Ideas

I am completely enamored with this collection of beautiful red and white do-it-yourself gift wrap and embellishment ideas from Better Homes & Gardens. The combination of reusable wood boxes, along with pretty handmade paper elements, is so very chic. And while some of the elements are holiday-themed, you can change up the colors and details of the handmade elements for any holiday or occasion. Head on over to BHG for more details about the projects.
