I used a combination of Whimsy Fundamentals (Thistle) - two rows of the love words and backed it both top and bottom with the Thistle patterned paper that has small x's.  The paper with the circles in the back is from the Adventure Fundaments (Pansy).  The Love pocket card was cut using the retired Artfully Sent Cricut collection pg 35 from the Adventure Pansy paper with the tiny dots.  I added the Gold Shimmer brush to the heart and a couple of the Love words, backed the pocket card with Gold Glitter paper and threw in a few gold sequins.  
 Fast and Easy!
