Good morning crafty friends!
I'm excited to be sharing two new cards today showcasing Kerri Bradford's cut files. Be sure to check out Kerri's BLOG and SHOP for lots of inspiration and digi cut files/kits!
I originally had intended on creating just one "xo" card but after cutting the glittered silver outline for the aqua/white card I realized I had all these amazing glittered "xo's" leftover and what better way to get the most from your crafting time and supplies then to use those to make another card! Whoot!
I am loving the look of white on white anything with small pops of color. I thought it would be fun to create a layered Valentine's card using Kerri's files. I love the graphic look of text backgorunds with a sentiment layered on top. The "XO" file from Kerri's February Fourteen Kit makes for an interesting background for the die cut banner with the stamped greeting.

To add even more interest to the card I die cut the rectangle and the postage frame from the Life Additions #1 Kit for subtle white on white (embossed white cardstock and vellum) layers. Instead of cutting the frame "as is" I instead cut each layer (the rectangle from white cardstock and the postage border from vellum).
I embossed the solid white rectangle using the Polka Dot Basics II Papertrey Ink Impression Plate.
Foam adhesive behind the postage frame mats and the banner give subtle dimension which adds interest to this mostly white card!
With those leftover silver "xo's" I created a similar card in style (with the same frame and basic design) but this one is a bit more on the "simple" side and I switched up the matting by stamping the solid rectangle with my favorite MFT Text Background Stamp and layered the vellum over the top.
I added color and interest by stamping the greeting (again from Kelly Purkey's I'm Sorry Stamp Set) with Versamark and embossing with a red embossing powder. Some red heart enamel dots tie it all together!
