Halloween Frightfully Fun Card

I joined an anything goes card swap that's due this weekend so I decided to take my new cute CTMH Frightfully Fun stamp set to make a Halloween card!  I took inspiration from the DAT's My Style Blog.
 

I used black cardstock, CTMH Scaredy Cat paper pack, black and orange ribbon, and some alcohol markers to color the monsters in!  Overall it was pretty simple to make ... just a bit time consuming!  :)

Elegant Happy Birthday


I recently participated in a Happy Birthday card swap.  I was online looking for inspiration as I often do when I cam across Lisa's Creative Corner Jubilee Boxed Card Set.  What can I say?  I was inspired!  

I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut the flowers and used honey ink to sponge the edges of the flower.  It really makes the flower pop.  I highly encourage those that haven't tried to sponge the edges of your flowers to do so!  

The yellow paper is from the Close to my Heart Jubilee paper pack, and the Happy Birthday is stamped in Chocolate ink. 

I used a non-CTMH embossing folder just because it had the line in it to make a border where my sentiment could go.  

Overall, it was pretty easy to make, and I just love the whole set that Lisa put together.  I may have to do more!
