Hi there! It’s Kristina CraftyPaws here with a guest designer project for The Greeting Farm. It was love at first sight when I saw all the cute couples in The Greeting Farm stamp sets: "#couplegoals" and "Forever With You". So I decided to make a bunch of quick and easy Valentine’s Day cards picking the images that I thought could represent my parents, my older sister and her husband, my niece and her boyfriend, my nephew and his girlfriend, and a crafty friend who loves cats and her hubby.

Then I went through and Copic colored each couple as follows:

I fussy cut each couple, inked the edges of the cut images with a Memento Tuxedo Black Marker for a finished look, and made each of the couples the main focal point of the card fronts. I used an old Darice Love Themed dies set and a retired Doodlebug Designs Lovebirds paper stack to simply frame the images and accent the cards inside and out. The scalloped heart frame die cuts and the "Xs" and "Os" die cuts were stacked and glued together for added depth, and the couples were all adhered with foam dots to add dimension and interest. I was also able to use up all the scraps to decorate and line the inside of the cards!
