The collection features approximately 70 Valentine’s Day cards, the largest selection of Signature cards for the holiday ever.
"At Hallmark, we understand that a Valentine is not just a card – it’s a piece of your heart, a page out of your relationship story, a nod to your history together, and a hope for your future,” said Lindsey Roy, chief marketing officer – Hallmark Greetings. “Our designers create Hallmark Signature cards with tremendous attention to one-of-a-kind details and dimension. When you give a Signature card, it is truly a keepsake for your loved one.”
Hallmark Signature Valentine’s Day cards feature fresh, sophisticated designs paired with warm, genuine messages, as well as new and expanded Signature kids cards.
