Pretty in Pink Card usign the Cuttlebug

Hello everyone--hope you are doing well.  I am now a day ahead of you as I have crossed the international date line and in Hong Kong for a few days--of course I am taking pictures and trying to get some video to do where in the world is scrapguy--and I am picking up a few little things to share with all of you all as well.  
Today's card was pretty easy  I used a couple cuttlebug folders and a lot of pink to work this one out.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and is stretchy velvet with a sheer ruffle.  The die cut is from a sheet that came with the MME Valentine's day collection--I turned it face down and sent it through the xyron and added micro glass beads.
The photos make it look like it is hot pink--darn the flair from the camera.  It is really a nice warm pink and the colors do work well together--I promise. 
I added a strip of cuttlebugged paper and ribbon to the envelope to finish it off.  This card could also be used for a personal shower for a bride to be!
Take care and we will see you back here on Thursday (Friday for me!)

  7. So elegant. I do believe my next purchase is going to have to be a xyron. Can't wait to see the neat things you are picking up in Hong Kong.

  8. Bryan,

    That is gorgeous!!! What cool ribbon! Did you emboss paper that had a white core (or did you go over it with white ink)? I love the microbeads, too (need to remember to use mine!)!

    Thank you so much for sharing and happy trails to you!

    Crafty hugs,

    Jennifer
