Green Valentine’s Day Cards

by Jennifer on January 16, 2010

Your greenest choice when it comes to Valentine’s Day cards is to make cards yourself using recycled materials you have around the house already. This is a more resourceful and more fun and creative choice. However, if you’re having a party, need a massive amount of cards, or don’t keep a bunch of art materials around, you may need to buy Valentines. In this case choose green options. Some ideas for greener purchased Valentines are below…

Tiny Prints has a great selection of 100% eco-friendly recycled paper Valentine’s Day cards, such as the cute Wild Bunch card shown above. Although at Tiny Prints the paper recycled content varies so make sure that you read the small print. Cards are made with either FSC-certified paper or at least 30% post-consumer waste. You can also customize print and photos on almost all cards. Below are some of my favorite Tiny Print designs for Valentine’s Day.
