Cleeo & Bea Finds: Fun Valentine's Day Card Ideas

The mamas behind local blog Cleeo & Bea find some of the gosh-darn-cutest items for the kiddos (and some that we might decide to keep for ourselves), and we're so lucky to have them sharing their discoveries with us! Look for exclusive ideas once a month in the magazine and newsletter, and every other week right here on the blog. Since we're fast approaching February (can you believe it?!), we got their take on Valentine's Day cards that'll garner some hardcore crushes:

Vintage Valentine's Day Cards by Laughing Elephant
Be mind, vintage Valentine. We love all things old and have always felt Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday to send vintage greeting cards. We found these nifty reproductions of antique vintage cards at Collage on Alberta and think that parents will appreciate them as a sweet and nostalgic sentiment. The set includes an array of animals, cowboys, and smitten sweethearts. $10 for a package of 15, at Collage.

Sweet Wood Block Stamps by A. Muse
We love DIY projects and so do our kiddos. And what better way to send a loving message than by giving a handmade Valentine's Day card? We recently found these wood block stands and think they'll be great to use on cards or envelopes. They say cute things like, "pucker up" and "I love you to the moon and back." Adorable! $7 each, at Collage.

Hip Valentine's Trading Cards by Munchkin Designs
Sometimes Valentines are all about getting noticed — and these rock-inspired designs from local mama-designer Lisa Komer make quite the impression. You can also order Yummy Earth organic lollipops to add a little sweet to the sass. And the price is right for a whole batch for the class. $4.95 for a set of 30, $9.95 with lollipops, available online.
