Crazy Love #1

We're kicking off this year's Crazy Love event with a pretty funky Valentine's Day card!  Last year I accidentally missed one day of this series so hopefully I keep on track this time around.  

I'm always looking for ways to use non-traditional colors for my holiday cards and when I was looking at my stash for inspiration the yellow heart gems I've had for years really jumped out at me.  I paired them with some scrap paper I'd had saved for quite awhile as well and this lovely card was born.

Crazy Love #9

The real theme of this Crazy Love series seems to be quick and easy cards, and I'm okay with that.  This card is a lot more traditional Valentine's Day.  I may have gone overboard with the heart embellishments but I like to think of it as my love just pouring out into my work (my love for shiny things, that is).

This card was completely stress free to make which is exactly the type of card I like.  I just hope the recipient enjoys it as much as I do!

Crazy Love #4

Another real simple card made fabulous by bling!  I really liked making this card because I was able use Navy and Teal, two colors I don't usually think of when I'm brainstorming Valentine's Day cards, but that pleasantly surprised me.

This card was pretty quick to make but I think it will be a cute one to send out to friends.  I also was able to use up some bling that had long been collecting dust to make room for some more (as soon as I get my but over to Tuesday Morning).

Identifiable Elements:

• Polka dot paper- Well Traveled by Carina Gardner collection by Carta Bella
• Navy ink- Night of Navy by Stampin' Up!

• Washi tape- Cat's Meow collection by Paper Lane

Fast Card Friday

Today's card was a super fast card that I honestly made just to get rid of the last little bit of twine ribbon that I had left.  I've had it for years and years and was sick of looking at it.  I kept holding onto it for the "right moment" but that never came so I decided to force a "right moment"!

The rest of the card was super simple, just stamping thank you and punching out some cute hearts.  I think it turned out nicely and it suites the fall season well.  Of course, it wouldn't be one of MY projects without some bling.  

Not only did I get to use my twine but I also was able to use scrap paper that I unfortunately can't identify.
