Card: Krafty Love

My BFF, Donna, LOVES kraft!  That's why I decided to make her and her hubby's Valentine card from kraft paper.  My inspiration for this card came from Keisha Campbell and you can see her card here.  I'm linking this card to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is "Get Krafty."

Card: Good For A Kiss Anytime

I love this stamp set!  I first time I laid eyes on it I had to have it.  The set consists of the "Good For A Kiss Anytime" ticket and the "I love you (I admit it)" stamp (which I used on the inside of the card.)

I'm linking this card to the very first Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge.  The challenge is to use your hoarded goodies to make something that reflects your style.   I love everything from clean and simple to shabby chic to grunged-up Tim Holtz style.  This card hits somewhere in the middle and most of my cards tend to be like this because it's what come easiest to me - it's layered and has many elements yet it's clean and balanced.

Card: Love Is Friendship Set To Music

I'm linking this card to 3 challenges this week. The challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is "Emboss It", the challenge at the Silhouette Blog is a Valentine's or love theme (the Silhouette shapes are listed below), and the challenge at Curtain Call is "Love Letter."  As you can see in the close-up, the background behind the sentiment is dry embossed and the sentiment itself is heat embossed with clear embossing powder over brown ink.  The paper is DCWV "Mariposa" - this particular glittered one is just gorgeous!  The butterfly on the inside is fussy cut from the Mariposa paper.
