Girls Like Monsters too!

Hello Friends,

Today's card is another one I made using the Make a Monster stamp set. I wanted to make one for a girl. So I decided to make monsters peeking through some flowers. I think this would be a great card to brighten a little girls birthday!

Monster Birthday

Hello Friends,

Today's card is one I made to celebrate my nephew's birthday. A little over a year ago he chose this stamp set as a set he would like to play with. I promised him that I would use mine and make several different types of cards with it so he could see how versatile this set really is. If you browse through my past posts and find December 2011 you will find the cute pop up Christmas card that I made him. In the next couple of days I will be posting several other monster cards that I made. I even made a couple in a girl theme because monsters can be for boys or girls.

Anyway, this is called a tunnel card. They are so much fun because when you open them up you get a sweet surprise and they look great standing open on a desk or shelf. 

Card Size: 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"

Card Palette: Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White

Stamp Sets: Make a Monster, Make a Cake, and Itty Bitty Banners

Monster Christmas

Hello Friends,

Today I made a very special Christmas card for my nephew Joseph. His mother bought this stamp set for him because he loved the idea of building his own monsters, however after a year of owning it he has still yet to make anything with them so I decided to surprise him with a Christmas card to hopefully inspire him to create with his stamp set. It came out amazing, I am so proud of myself. Let me know what ya think!

Here is the front and when he opens it up...

SURPRISE!!!!

This card was so much fun to make. I got my inspiration from my good friend, Darla. She taught me how to make pop up cards at a shoebox swap. I was so impressed by the one she made that I decided to give it a shot myself. I am so glad she showed me what to do because this is probably one of my most favorite cards that I have ever made. So Darla, if you are reading this THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
