Cute and Easy I Love You Cards for Anyone!

Today I made for you a cute and easy Love You card you can send to anyone you think needs to know that you love 'em! Let's take a look:

I Love You Card for Anyone

I used this week's Color Inspiration from Stamping Family and created a card that is a little autumnal with the Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze and a little playful with the addition of Wild Wasabi and a “twist” on Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous Wild Wasabi Seam Binding.  This photo just does not do that trim justice; it's silky and ties beautifully and has such a luxurious sheen.  In this card I adhered a length to the back of the panel and then gently twisted it over the front, adhering again on the opposite side.  This way I was still able to get some shine onto this card but twisting it gave me a narrower band and didn't contradict the playfulness of the stars.

Here's a tip anyone who uses any of the delicious colors of Seam Binding: always, ALWAYS tie your bow – using the 10 Second Bow Maker, of course – or knot BEFORE trimming the ends of the Seam Binding.  Seam Binding LOVES to fray at the ends and no matter how careful you are, you are likely to experience some pull on your ends.  Leave a smidge extra on your ends and trim AFTER you've attached your bow or knot.  You will thank me!

The thing that's really great about this card is that you can use any shape, any greeting, any trim and you will have a super cute card that comes together very quickly.  It's the use of the repetitive shapes in different sizes that gives this card a lot of fun without a ton of fuss.  You know me!  I want to make it, love it and send it so the more I can do with less fuss and fiddle, the happier I am!

Here's what I used to make this card:

That's a lot of stuff!  But here's the thing……. I was trying to figure out how to make some teeny tiny stars to go under the “Love”s and it wasn't until I was flipping through my thinlits that I saw that there were some bitty stars as part of the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  It's a great idea to “shop” you collections because you might just have exactly what you need, just not where you thought it would be!

Try out this card using your interpretation of the design and see how many cute and easy love you cards YOU can create to send to just about anyone!
