Crazy 4 You!

Here's a darling image using a stamp from Tiddly Inks. I do adore her cute digi stamps.  I thought this one was just perfect for February.  I also added some yummy Turkish lace to go with it.  I just love being in Turkey and shopping for such gorgeous laces and ribbons too.  Such fun!  There's store after store after store.

The girl and hedgie are so cute! Beautiful card, Holley! My favourite embellishments are those that don't add bulk, since I mail my cards, and bulk adds to postage costs. So I like sequins, gems, and die-cuts.

Pearls and crystals are my favorite decorations. Your card is beautiful. Hugs Danka

Gaye said...

I like buttons, bling and Brad's. The 3 b's. What a sweet card!

Larisa said...

your card is stunning. I love the colors and that image is gorgeous.

papersmiles said...

This card definitely gives me a smile. Would make a great Valentine's image, I think. Gosh, embellishments....Flowers are probably tops, then I love tiny gems, brads that are different, shaped buttons and die cuts of all kinds. It is so much fun thinking about all the items I use as a card maker. Hugs, Barbara

Billie Dee said...

That card is one of my favorites!

Audrey R said...

Hi Holley- that card is so cute! I love hedgehogs!!! My all time favorite embellishments are bling! Sequins or rhinestones or pearls or buttons that you attach with glue dots! They just add that little extra special something to cards!

Kellyskardsfl said...

Such a cute image and card. I love embellishments of all kinds, gems, pearls, sequins, buttons, baker's twine, ribbon, lace....the list goes on and on.

I haven't seen the lace district when I was in Turkey, but I did find a "bead" district and I came home with a big bag of different beads and charms. I'd be in a big trouble if I found a lace district or if there was a stamp district too...
I love the image you used on your card. It's so cute! And perfect for February! :D
As far as my favourite embellishments goes, I have to say those are flowers. I use them all the time. But I love ribbon and lace as well. Oh, and pearls.

Susan T. said...

Adorable card! The image is so cute and the lace is the perfect touch. I have several favorite embellishments: rhinestone bling in any color, pearls, sequins, twine and ribbon. Using the smaller versions of these makes the card easy to mail, and gives the perfect finishing touch.

Janis said...

What a cute card!! Love the little gal with the hedgie.....so pretty with your awesome lace.
I use lots of different kinds of embellishments. Some of my favorites are: sequins, dew drops, flowers, leaves, ephemera die cuts, lace, doilies, adhesive gems and pearls, photo corners, 3D stickers, brads, etc. Almost anything will find its way onto a card for me! I do not use much ribbon or many buttons....but I should!! Ha.
Thank you again, Holley! I hope you are having as much fun with your celebration as all of us are!!

Simply darling. Favorite embellies include buttons, sequins and flowers! I also love to add twine!

Embellishments are so much fun. I am not sure I can pick a favorite.
Great stamp.

Dana M said...

Adorable cards! Love the lace. I tend to use sequins or gems most often as embellishments.

Melodyscraps, mixed media goddess said...

That digi is too cute! Those laces you brought home are just scrumptious too. I have lace envy bad! lolol

My favorite embellishments these days are handmade. I've been making little layered clusters with scraps of papers, fabrics and other materials with a tiny stamp or button or charm on the front. Also dangly charms, envelopes, pockets with cards and many other bits. I'm not really making so many ATCs anymore, but I am making journal type books, so anything that's old and can be recycled.

Suzanne H said...

I love that Tiddly Inks image, I have it in my collection too. I think the embellishment I use most are enamel dots. I do like the Nuvo drops I've seen on card though I don't have any in my stash. I think sequins are quite pretty too.

Amy Martin said...

Adorable card!! I like using flowers, wood veneer, metal finds, twine, little gems or sequins. Just depends on what I'm making and the theme as to what will end up on my projects.

Mel C said...

Sweet card Holley! My favorite embellishments- Lace, charms, Enamel dots, Love Tiny Flowers but hard to find.

Karenladd said...

This image is just adorable, and that hedgie is just as cute as the girl! The lace that you add to your cards always takes it up a notch, but it would be hard for me to part with it because it's so beautiful. My favorite embellishments are enamel dots, small flat brads, twine, and tiny rhinestones. I like flat embellishments, since I mail most of my cards, and tend to make most of mine.

Kathy Dippner said...

Adorable card! I have so many embellishments that I don't remember to use. Lately I'm making it a point to add some to every couple of cards. I used some Nuvo drops and clear drops from Studio Katia a couple of weeks ago.

Rachel Duong said...

Your card is sweet and adorable. The little girl giving a heart is so cute. I always look forward to the lace you put on your cards. My favorite embellishments are stickles. I love the extra bit of sparkle and they last forever and never dry out. I also use washi tape, sequins and burlap string. Love your card!

Denise Bryant said...

Super cute image on your card! Love the girl and hedgie!
I love using ribbon or twine on my cards, and also sequins! I try to keep things pretty flat for mailing.

Claudia Martins said...

Love this image the card is beautiful love that lace . My favorite is lace/ribbon,flowers,jewels and die cuts but I will use anything.

SHartl said...

What a CUTE card!! I am a sucker for cute critters anyway, but this is super adorable. As for my favorite embellishments, I guess those would be epoxy shapes, grosgrain ribbon, jute twine, and hemp ribbon. I also love adding small rhinestones and pearls every now and again.

Angela said...

Oh that lace is gorgeous! I normally just use some enamel dots to embellish.

This is a really cute card Holley. I don't use a lot of embellishments on my card but when I do it's often brads, enamel dots and shapes, and bakers twine.

Teresa Godines #6857 said...

Cute image. Love how you colored her. My go to now is Nuvo drops. This is one thing I didn't think I needed or would like. But after I used some on projects I was totally sold. Glitter would be my second choice. gotta love some sparkle

ShersL84bed said...

This card is great. Love the image. I"m not sure what my favorite embellishments are anymore. I used to love shaped brads. Now, I think I like flat flowers, and 3d stickers, word stickers, gems. Usually something that doesn't stick up off the card too much, so that it is easy to mail.
