Owly Shadow Puppet V-Day Cards

It’s Friday the 13.

In addition to steering clear of ladders and black cats, avoid cupid’s wrath by spreading the love with V-Day cards.

Owly Shadow Puppet’s new laser-cut valentines pack the perfect punch. The cards are made from mat board and have cheeky messages for modern lovahs: U R Not Not Cute, Mom Would Like You, Your Crazy Emotional Needs Give My Life Purpose.

The patriotic Ohhh Bama missive will have your heart aflutter.

Now that’s setting a precedent.
