Autumn Birthday Card with Olivia- (8th Post Today)

This birthday card was made with CTMH's Olivia papers.  The flower and leaves were cut with my Cuttlebug.

Embossing on Clear Cards

Here are a couple clear cards (which photographed incredibly poorly).  On both cards I ran just the front of the card through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder to give a windy effect.

I used B&T paper from the CTMH Oliva paper pack.  The front stamped scene is from CTMH's Captured Moments stamp set. 

On the inside I punched a circle and stamped a few bats and Happy Halloween.  The bottom of the paper is punched with  Martha Stewart Halloween punch.  Everything is distressed with cocoa ink.

This card photographed even worse, but you can get the idea.  Again, I used Olivia papers, and along the bottom I used one of the scenes from the CTMH Captured Moments stamp set, this time the autumn, blowing leaves scene.  The leaves are all from the Timeless stamp set included in the Olivia Workshop on the Go.

The inside of the front of this card has leaves to hide the backs of some of the leaves peeking through from the front.

Olivia "Congrats" card

The striped background paper is from the CTMH Olivia paper pack.  The pretty autumn scene silhouetted at the bottom is from a new CTMH stamp set, "Captured Moments."  The leaves are stamped from the Olivia Workshop on the Go stamp set, "Timeless."  Finally, the letters are stamped in my current favorite alphabet, "Delightful Alphabet."  Everything is distressted with Cocoa ink.

Something Splendid with Olivia

This photo doesn't show the autumn colors of this card very well.  It's made with CTMH "Olivia" B&T paper, and Smoothie and Cocoa inks.  The stampset is the CTMH August Stamp of the Month, "Something Splendid."  The background leaves were second-generation stamped.  "Dream" is from the CTMH stamp set "Live Inspired."  All the edges are distressed with Cocoa ink.

The flower and "Dream" are raised with dimensional adhesive.  To give the flower extra texture, I used my piercing tool to poke lots of holes from the back to the front.
