40 Free Valentine’s Day Images
CUPIDS & CHERUBS
4. Spencerian Boy. A Spencerian style image with lots of swirls and pen flourishes features a boy with a quill. The banner reads “yours truly” but could be easily modified to include any message you’d like for Valentine’s Day.
5. Sweet Cherub Scrap Image. This Victorian scrap is of a young cherub flying through the air. He is passing out pink roses, and has his light blue cloth wrap billowing behind him.
6. Cherub and Double Hearts Postcards. This post has three vintage Valentine’s Day postcards. The first is of a cherub postman in gold and royal blue, the second postcard is of a Marie Antoinette-style woman, and the third postcard has two hearts and a valentine pierced by an arrow.
7. Cherub Hearts & Flowers. This is a very pretty vintage Valentine postcard with lots of flowers and a little Cherub popping out of a giant heart. I love the soft aqua and red color combo on this one!
8. Cupid in a Heart Engraved Image. This rare 1907 image is from a wood-burning pattern book. This cute little Cupid, with his bow and arrow, is framed inside of a wooden heart. I love how rustic this one is!
9. Victorian Cherub in Heart Frame. A very Victorian looking cherub is sitting in a ribbon heart frame. The image is accentuated with forget-me-nots, pink roses, and hearts, and the cherub is holding a list in his hands.

10. Romantic Cherub Frame. This image features two lovely full body cherubs holding a curvy romantic style frame. There is a blue, pink and black and white version of the frame. I found this one in a design book from the early 1900’s.

16. Retro Cupid with Heart. A very cute 40’s style blonde cupid with a heart. This wide-eyed cupid is accented with hearts and red, blue and purple flowers.
17. Retro Wide-Eyed Boy Valentine. This cute square valentine is of a cute little wide-eyed boy with a blue baseball cap and yellow and white striped shirt. He had a big smile and adorable big brown eyes.
18. Wide-Eyed Little Girl Valentine. This 50’s or 60’s style square valentine is of sweet little girl with a pink and blue bonnet. She has a bright smile and looks so sweet and happy.
21. Classic Red and White Heart. A simple image of a red heart, accented with what looks like white stitching and a lace heart in the center.
22. Children with Heart Shaped Cookies. These two images were the front and back of a heart shaped valentine. The two scenes include two little girls baking and then eating heart shaped cookies. The predominant colors in these images and red, blue, black, and gold.
VALENTINES WITH BIRDS
23. Swallow Delivering Valentine. A pretty vintage of a swallow gliding through the air. I love his blue-black wings and how he is carefully carrying a valentine in his beak.
24. Child Riding Dove. This one shows a sweet cherub riding a dove and holding a bouquet of pink roses. The dove has a blue ribbon bridle. This one would be great to accentuate with glitter – just like the original postcard had!
25. White Dove with Roses. A beautiful white dove, carrying some red roses, and a tiny pink letter around its neck. This romantic image is framed in gold.
26. Red & White Doves with Scrolls Ephemera. I just love this antique engraved image of a pair of doves sitting on a scroll frame. They look like they are having the sweetest conversation.
27. Two Birds with Blue Striped Background. This valentine has two little birds ready to land on a heart with a pink border. The image has pretty blue flowers and hearts, with a blue and white striped background.
28. Pair of Love Doves. This lovely valentine features two life-like white doves sitting on a branch of red, pink and yellow roses. I love the geometric border on this card too!
VINTAGE VALENTINES
29. Adorable Clown Children. This vintage valentine is of two young children dressed in red and white heart clown-style outfits. They have a cute dog pull toy and a ball at their feet.
30. Valentine Winter Girl. This adorable little girl is dressed in a red and white winter outfit (I love her red hat with white bows). She is coyly looking to the side and holds a red heart valentine in her hands.
31. Scottish Boy Holding Heart. A cute valentine card is of a little Scottish boy with his kilt, holding a heart. The boy has adorable plaid socks and two thistles at his feet.
32. True Love Violet Bouquet. An antique die cut piece features a bouquet of violets. A note is tucked in the bouquet that says “offering of true love”. I thought this one would be great to use or modify for Valentine’s Day.
33. Pierrot Heart Costume Child. This is a sweet little vintage postcard featuring a young girl wearing a Pierrot costume. Her costume is covered in hearts including her cone shaped hat, even her shoes are heart shaped!
ROMANTIC COUPLES
34. Romantic Couple – Photo Postcard. This photo postcard is of a romantic couple at the beach. You can just see their backs, and the caption reads “I am fully occupied!” I love the woman’s huge hat and the parasol in this one.
35. Silhouette of Couple with Heart. This post has two black, white & red, Valentine’s Day silhouettes pulled from antique cards. Both show romantic young couples, the first couple is standing behind a large red heart, and the second image is of a man in a wig, bending over to kiss the hand of a fancy young woman in a long dress.
36. Oval German Valentine Couple. This vintage scrap valentine features a couple in love walking and talking. She is wearing a pink dress and carrying a bouquet of roses. The man has on a dark red coat, blue hat and yellow pants.
37. 1890’s Couple in Love. This one is a wonderful engraving circa 1890′s. This one features a young couple in love, standing by cliffs and the sea. The man looks like a military officer who just returned home, and I adore the Empire style dress the woman is wearing, so Jane Austin -esque!
38. Romantic Couple Photo. This photo features a romantic couple posed in a natural setting with rocks and foliage. There are two sweet doves in the upper corner. The vintage photo has been tinted so the greens and pinks really stand out.
ANATOMICAL HEARTS
39. Anatomical Heart. This detailed anatomical heart is from an old science book, and it’s available in black and white and red. The major chambers and valves have been labeled with letters. This would be fun to use as a unique heart image for Valentine’s project.
40. Medical Heart Cross-Section Image. This image is from an old nurse’s textbook and reminds me of images in the the traditional Grey’s Anatomy texts. The black and white heart cross-section is labeled and has its valves accented with red and blue.

I just love this precious little angel. You shared how you made her but I wanted to know where you get the real glass glitter and what are sticklers.
Karen Watson says
Hi Donna, I’ve gotten glass glitter from Etsy, you might be able to find it on Ebay too. I’m not sure what sticklers are! Where did you see that?

Angela says
Fabulous selection. Thank you very much. I would have left a thank you for each of them, but I couldn’t see the comment box!
Karen Watson says
Thanks Angela!! I had to unfortunately close out comments on my older posts, at least for now anyway. I was getting a ton of spam comments on those posts and some of them were just not suitable for a family friendly blog, like this one! I appreciate the thought though!!
