Etsy comes to the rescue with handmade cards for all types of relationships. But don’t wait any longer, Saturday is four-and-a-half business days away! We’ve given you a head start by finding some of the best…

New York based boy-girl duo, dangerpants, offers a card with a more vintage appeal sporting a fantastic illustration of a Dodo. Inside, “Don’t go away” serves as a loving, but non-syrupy Valentine’s sentiment. They say they’ll even cater to specific color combination requests…

Great ideas! I get so much inspiration from Etsy to create my own DIY crafts at home.
ooh I love that Amy Ruppel card... the envelope's great too.
a more awesome (and free) card is available at gostbrand.com
I love that dodo card! I'm going to make my own for my hubby!
Man, it's too late for this, but I so need a "You've made my life better than an ABBA song" card for the bestie. She is the Muriel to my Rhonda and I'm the Rhonda to her Muriel
i have a friend who made up some valentine's cards for his comic about cupids. they are pretty charming and you can find them here: http://www.commonnamefilms.com/erosinc/store
Instead of a card why not give your loved ones their very own certificates. Scott Common Sense has templates for a variety of certificates and they are free! http://www.scottcommonsense.com/us/toolbox/certificate.asp
If I am the peanut butter to one's jelly, should I be avoided due to possible salmonella contamination?
Pbbbbtttth @ valentine's day.
I love these designs! There is a list on SkinnyScoop trying to sort out the best card shops on Etsy - I know I can use lists like these because I love Etsy but it is just so hard to sort through what's good and what's not...these shops should definitely be added to it > Etsy's Finest: Cards & Custom Stationary.
