Sad Cards by Katie Davis send your [Valentine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-debbie-be-my-valentine) some much needed affection while letting them know another of your loves. In addition to being endearing, Davis' card designs feature others that are more half-hearted and almost a bit admitting; I'm talking specifically about the 'Ok, So I Love You' one.

[Valentine's cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-card-collection) have evolved to become a sphere where anything goes from humor to relinquishing a truthful statement. Gone are the days when "I Love You" was enough of a verbal offering on the [Day of Love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/language-of-love) because lovers everywhere are taking it one step further by making their feelings known through more endearing, half-hearted cards.

Davis' entire card collection can be found in her Etsy store [sadshop](http://www.etsy.com/shop/sadshop?ref=seller_info), where there are sure to be a couple creations that will offer a giggle and beg to be given to a sweetheart.
