I make cards without using white or vanilla cardstock often, so this was a an easy challenge for me. I also got to use some new stamps I got yesterday. My folded card is 4 1/4" square. I stamped the heart and cats in craft red on the front of the folded card and embossed with hologram highlights EP. Then, I used my personal cutter to cut the straight lines to the heart and a scissors to cut around the heart. The cats were stamped again and embossed in black and then cut out and layered over the embossed heart. The ribbon was tied around the card to keep the flap closed and then I cut it under the tied bow and used velcro to hold the card shut so the bow stays pretty and is affixed to the card even when opened.

Wonderful -- love the closure with that ribbon/bow -- fabulous!!! I surely miss the organdy in SU's catalog and the resulting inability to use it on my SU samples!!! This is so, so lovely --- I truly love organdy ribbon!!!
