My little niece looks to me for clever design solutions. Who am I to disappoint a favorite client? I'll be applying the kyuuto! factor to Little Miss Sunshine's classroom valentines using Sniglet the ultra-buoyant font by designer Haley Fiege. After discovering that edible frosting sheets can roll out of a home printer, I know that this assignment will be a breeze. As quickly as I can set "I dough so luv U!" my littlest client will have perfect embellished decorations for the two dozen shortbread hearts she cajoled her mother into baking. My niece is working my inkjet overtime, but with Sniglet I've got this deliverable covered.

What can one do for a friendly barista who is fond of stylized koi tattoos but squeamish about needles? This kind of valentine is made to be brewed using Daniel Gauthier's Tattoo Lettering font. Looking to font folklore, Gauthier has drawn and digitalized two sets of characters that match classic parlor lettering. With a little Photoshop shading, Tattoo Lettering Open is the perfect foil for the free koi tattoo clip art I found on the Web, along with a article netted from PCWorld Business Center. Her morning patrons will be all a'Twitter when I hand over a big valentine tip and a letter-size sheet of Water Slide Temporary Tattoo Paper filled with fishy flash made just for her.
