Aligning a header?

I appologize if this question has already been posted. I looked for hours and couln't find it. I'm pretty new to HTML and CSS so I also appologize for my awful code.

I'm trying to align a H3 header directly under an H1 heading.

My code is: 

<body>
<div class="header">
    <img class="flag" src="./images/MINFLAG.png">
    <h1>Placeholder txt</h1>
    <h3 class="motto"><em>"Website motto"</em></h3>
</div>

and CSS:

.header{
    font-size: 15px;
    background-color: pink;
    color: deeppink;
    text-align: left;
    font-family: Candara;
    background-image:;
    padding-bottom: 0.5%;
    border-radius: 1%;
}

.moto{
}

.flag{
    height: 95px;
    width: 150px;
    text-align: center;
    display: inline-block;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-right: 5px;
    padding-left: 12px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.header h1{
    line-height: 9%;
    display: inline-block;
    padding-left: 3%;	
}

.header h3{
    padding-left: 20%;
}
<div class="header">
    <img class="flag" src="./images/MINFLAG.png">
    <h1>Placeholder txt</h1>
    <h3 class="motto"><em>"Website motto"</em></h3>
</div>

The H3 is significantly lower than everything else, and i would like it to be vertically centered with the flag.

Edit: Here's a mockup thing. I only use H3 as a style choice because I'm not really sure what else to do.

What it is now

How I'd like it

You should make it an h2 to follow semantic order of headers but you can style the h2 as an h3 if that is really what you want.

.header{
    font-size: 15px;
    background-color: pink;

    text-align: left;
    font-family: Candara;
    background-image:;
    padding-bottom: 0.5%;

.flag{
    height: 95px;
    width: 150px;
    text-align: center;
    display: inline-block;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-right: 5px;
    padding-left: 12px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.header h1{
    width:100%
    padding-left: 3%;   
}

.header p{
    padding-left: 20%;
}
<div class="header">
  <img class="flag" src="./images/MINFLAG.png">
    <div>
      <h1>Placeholder txt</h1>
      <h3 class="motto"><em>"Website motto"</em></h3>
    </div>
</div>

You just need to wrap both your h1 and h3 tags into another div.

Use the flex layout then.

Here is an example.

Did few changes but you might need to customize.

.header {
  font-size: 15px;
  background-color: pink;
  color: deeppink;
  text-align: left;
  font-family: Candara;
  background-image: ;
  padding-bottom: 3%;
  border-radius: 1%;
}

.flag {
  height: 95px;
  width: 150px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  padding-top: 10px;
  padding-right: 5px;
  padding-left: 12px;
  vertical-align: middle;
  float: left;
}

.header p {
  padding-left: 20%;
}
<div class="header">
  <div>
      <img class="flag" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg/1280px-Flag_of_the_United_States.svg.png">
      <h1 align="center">Placeholder txt</h1>
      <h3 align="center"><em>"Website motto"</em></h3>
  </div>
</div>

Just wrap your header elements and apply appropriate styling. 

.header {
  font-size: 15px;
  background-color: pink;
  color: deeppink;
  text-align: left;
  font-family: Candara;
  background-image: ;
  padding-bottom: 0.5%;
  border-radius: 1%;
}
.flag {
  height: 95px;
  width: 150px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  padding-top: 10px;
  padding-right: 5px;
  padding-left: 12px;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

.header .header-text {
  line-height: 9%;
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 3%;
  vertical-align: center;
}

.header p {
  padding-left: 20%;
}
<div class="header">
  <img class="flag" src="./images/MINFLAG.png">
  <div class="header-text">
    <h1>Placeholder txt</h1>
    <h3 class="motto"><em>"Website motto"</em></h3>
  </div>
</div>
