Monster Birthday Party - Foils & Fun!

Many of you may not know this, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Monster stamps! I don't know why, but when I see a Monster Stamp, I just gotta have it! Period. Don't ask me why it's just my "Thing" lol. I recently saw a Brutus Monroe set "Monster Party" on clearance at my local Scrapbook Store, and I couldn't snatch it off the shelf fast enough! lol

I pulled out my Whisper White Cardstock (All supplies are listed down below) and cut enough for 2 cards. I wanted to do one with Embossing Paste (for a challenge I'm too late to enter into lol) and the other in foil. I just LOVE foils!

I colored in the monsters, which I masked to fit 4 into one little 'party' with my copics. As you can see, I colored in one background and left one white. I used the Layering Circles dies to cut out the monsters and also create a frame with silver cardstock to frame in these adorable monsters.

I also used the balloons from Bonanza buddies and masked in extra balloons to go with the one that came in the monster set. I used my Sakura Gel Pen to draw in some lines and such on the masked balloons. I also used some Nuvo Drops to add some sparkle and dimension to the circles in the balloons and the monster teeth.

The sentiment is also from Bonanza Buddies, which I embossed in white. For the embossing paste, I stenciled it over a stencil I made myself with my Cricut. If you want to see a tutorial on making your own stencils with a Cricut, please comment below. If enough people ask, I will do one.

For the foiled card, I used the same stencil and used Heat Transfer gel & GinaK Sparkling Silver Fancy Foil, then ran it through my Scotch Laminator to transfer the foil to the dried gel. I love how it turned out!

Question: Do you prefer the Embossing Paste Card or the foiled one?

February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

Celebrate with Texture!

What is a Paper Pumpkin Alternative you ask? Well, I will tell you. Every month I receive a Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up! It comes with everything you need to make all the projects in the kit. There is even an instruction sheet. You get all the paper, stamps, ink, embellishments and even the glue dots, or dimensionals to adhere everything. It's such a wonderful surprise to open my kit every month. However, I, and many other people, like to see what we can come up with not using the instructions in the kit. You don't have to do this, but if you like to get creative you can look at Paper Pumpkin Alternatives, or create something different on your own.

Anyhow, back to my Paper Pumpkin "Lovely Day" February 2020 Alternative Card.

For this card, I knew I wanted to use the purple card (even if I did cut it up lol) add some dimension to lay the gorgeous precut purple Rose on. Isn't that image gorgeous? Imagine the time you can save with pre-printed, and pre-cut images! It makes your card making so easy.

I filmed a video so you can see step-by-step how I created this card. All the supplies I used are listed down below in this post.

Wasn't that easy? You can create this too with a few extra supplies. Or you can follow the instructions included with the kit. You can even create something entirely different.

DID YOU KNOW??? Next month - March 2020 - Stampin' Up! is including an EXTRA FREE Stamp set in EVERY kit?? This is such an amazing way to celebrate 7 years of Paper Pumpkin. So, if you have been on the fence about getting your own subscription, NOW is the time. You can subscribe month-to-month, quarterly, or annually. It's totally up to you.
