I posted some romantic cards earlier and promised a view of some more of what I sent off. For the background of this card I used a solid red glitter card stock I had picked up to go with the craft paper from this Recollections Love Letters pad. It is another 6 x 9 card. For the card mounted on the front I used the corner of one of the 12 x 12 sheets from the pad with a beautifully glitter embossed flower and some swirls overlaid on music stanzas. To make the sentiment block on the front of the card I inked up my Cuttlebug frames die and cut the block. This was my first try at inking up the die/embossing folder and I really like how it turned out. I used Tim Holtz' Fired Brick ink. I added the sentiment on the front along with some matching red bling on the schwoopie's. Some of the cards I left blank inside so the sender could write their own note inside.
The next 12 x 12 sheet had this beautifully embossed word Love in the lower corner. I used that section of the card stock and cut another 6 x 9 card. Since the card had the word taking up the majority of the front of it I felt like it didn't require much added embellishment. I added one large crystal bling to the end of the L schwoop and then used my SU! butterfly embosslets die to add a couple of embossed butterflies.
For this card I used the rest of the red glitter card stock for the back and the other section of the music notes paper from above. I wrapped a gold satin ribbon threaded with a bejeweled red heart around the top of the craft card and affixed it on the back side. I used the thank you stamp and stamped it in the small block on the faux sewn line. It fit perfectly in the space provided! I love it when that happens. I then mounted the craft card on the glitter card stock.

I am really enjoying this paper stack and thoroughly loved making these cards. I hope the recipients enjoy receiving them as much as I've enjoyed making them.
Once again, Imagine, Create, Enjoy.
