Valentine Card




So I created a Valentine Card this year using a vintage Valentine for the base.

The card I used for my doll is here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/352617845796348514/

Modified of course.

For the front cover, the card says "You are "Cut Out" to be My Valentine."  The doll wears a pink slip with white socks and black shoes.  She has blonde curly hair.  The inside of the card has a nurse outfit with cap, a bee costume with brown bob hair and matching shoes, and a maid outfit with hair accessory.  The puns are "Love Sick?"  "Bee Mine!" and "I was Maid for U"  The inside says "Be a Goodie Two Shoes and be My Valentine!" along with two pairs of shoes (get it!?) along with some space to write a message.  The back has six vintage dresses in pastel colors all inspired by vintage Valentine cards.

Child Life


This magazine page features a male paper doll with two outfits and a cut little dog.  This Child Life Your Dress and Dolly's page was designed by Chiquet and dates February 1930.

The text below reads:
Jack loves his Valentine puppy most to pieces.  He wishes every little boy could have one as nice.  Valentines are not the only nice things that come through the mail in envelopes.  Patterns are fine, too, especially those like Jack's flannel and jersey suits and chinchilla top-coat.

Then it list the patterns.
