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!

March Girly Card

This was the card we created in my March Close To My Heart workshop ... I got the original idea from a post I saw on pinterest: http://patriciamanhire.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/1712/

We used the CTMH quatrefoil embossing folder to emboss the top paper.  The yellow is from the Jubilee paper pack.  We made the flower using 3 cuts of the same daisy shape from the Artiste cricut cartridge.  We inked the edges and curled the petals up to make it more realistic.
