These funny Valentine's Day cards were created by Emily Strefford-Johnson, a graphic designer who's based out of the UK.
For the upcoming romantic holiday, she created three different cards. From the outside, each looks like a traditional love-themed card, however once one opens them up, a cynical message that reminds them of their singlehood is revealed. For example, one of the funny Valentine's Day cards has a bright pink heart on the outside with an arrow pointing to it and the words "You Are Here..." written underneath. Inside, "In the friendzone" is written. Another features a rose on the front and the words "Roses are red violets are blue." The inside however takes a turn, with the words "the only prick in my life, is definitely you" completing the poem.
With their cynical messages, Emily Strefford-Johnson's funny Valentine's Day cards are perfect for friends who are able to laugh at themselves a little.
