Happy Monday!!! I know, I’m a little too cheery for a Monday morning but I’ve also never been more excited about Valentine’s Day. Today I have two love-themed cards to share with you. I procrastinated a little too much during the holidays and didn’t send out many Christmas cards so I’m hoping to make up for it by sending out Valentine’s Day cards. Who wouldn’t love that, right? 😉 Both cards combine the January Kit of the Month – To the Moon & Back with Echo Park goodness.
My first card uses the hearts from To the Moon & Back floating up along the long flourished banner from I Adore You. The two-part sentiment is from an older kit, Favorite Things.
My second card uses the gift of love and two-part sentiments from To the Moon & Back staged inside the elaborate frame from With Love.
Both the frame and image panel are raised off the inner black background. The details were difficult to capture on camera but my husband thought it looked really cool. 😉
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s cards! Have a wonderful week!

Hi Emily,

I think these cards are fantastic! I love how they are simple but they make a bold statement! Beth
I love the little hearts floating above the banner in the first card and the way you've layered the 2nd card is awesome! They are both brilliant!
