Seasonal Stationery: Valentine’s Day Cards, Part 1

Happy Monday everyone! I know it feels like we juuuust came out of the holiday season – but Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! I’ve held rather cynical views towards Valentine’s Day in the past, but when it comes down to it I’ll always take an opportunity to tell someone how much I care about them. So whether you’re looking for your best friend, your spouse, or even your sweet little nieces and nephews, here are a few cards to help send your love.

Printable Holiday Gift Tags

I finished wrapping our holiday gifts over the weekend. A quick glance at my gift wrap stash revealed that I was pretty much out of gift tags (!!), which led to a frantic search to find something that I could download and print at home. Bailey and Emma from Antiquaria shared a beautiful illustrated gift tag last week, but I thought I’d share the results of my search with all of you today in case you’re also on the hunt for some last minute gift tag options!

Can you believe Christmas is almost here? At the Antiquaria design studio, we’ve been busily crafting gifts for our loved ones and wrapping them with care.
