Today I thought I'd try my hand at card-making,  I've been getting paper pumpkin kits and while I enjoy their elements, sometimes I don't like the card designs very much.  I usually end up taking the pieces of the kits and using them in scrapbook pages instead of the intended projects.  However, today I decided to take two of the pre-folded cards from one of the kits and design my own birthday cards.  I used a lot of scraps and left over embellishments that I was looking to clear out of my stash and came up with these two beauties.  They're both really simple but I really like the way they turned out!
