LOLLIPOP VALENTINES - E. ROSEN COMPANY CIRCA 1930s (Silhouette, Farm Boy and Traffic Cop)

Here are a couple more of this "sweet" cards from my own collection.  If you like these images do check out The  Vintage Valentine Museum for more examples.

CHLOE PRESTON ARTICULATED VALENTINES 1910- 1920

A couple of images from my own collection.  The little girl has "feet" on a wheel which you "walk" her with.  The feet can't really be captured on a scan but not entirely necessary for use as an image.  I adore the cat what a mischievous look on his face!  His awkward looking front legs move about.   Enjoy!

CHLOE PRESTON HONEYCOMB VALENTINE - 1908

If you have been fortunate enough to have a few vintage valentines in your collection then you will want to check out the Vintage Valentine Museum!  This is a wonderful resource for finding out more about your treasures.  I do have a few Chloe Preston's in my own collection, I do adore her wide eyed characters and scenes but this image is courtesy of the Vintage Valentine Museum.

VALENTINE SHADOW BOX AND VINTAGE IMAGE

Most holidays I try to craft something for the grands or at least a special project for each of the four families.  I started on these the week after Christmas knowing I had limited time once January came.

I had saved the boxes ( 6.5 long x 1 deep) sometime ago thinking they were perfect for a small shadow box.  I used a lightweight paper (not card stock) to cover the box.  If I get a decent side picture I will add that later.  I used a striped paper from the same line to cover the sides and back.  A MS scalloped lace with hearts border punch to create the trim along the sides and the frame around the top in red heavy cardstock, this is one piece scored to fit around the edges.  Felt hearts from Michaels, MS heart sequins glued into the inside seams, punched leaves and a bit of a berry stem to create the branch.  Lots of Platinum Stickles for glitter, it is more glittery than you can tell by the picture.  And of course faux stitching, this time in white.

I printed this vintage image 4 to a letter sized sheet to get the size used here.  I do think these candy Valentine cards are adorable and I will post more for you later.
