Monster Bash

I created a cute little monster-themed birthday card!

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of white card stock.  I used the Card Mat Dies to cut the orange polka dot card stock, then I used the Border Dies 2 to cut the mat to make it look like a balloon.  Both dies are from Jaded Blossom.  I then used a light blue baker's twine for the string of the balloon.

The adorable little monster is from Lettering Delights.  He is part of the Mini Monster cut set.  I used the Dot Fade stencil by Tim Holtz to give my little monster some texture to his body.  I used old paper Distress Ink for the coloring.  I used a Peachy Keen face stamp for his face instead of the cut pieces.  It is part of the Quick and Simple Emojis Face Assortment.  I added him to the card, then curled his fingers around the twine to make him look like he is holding the balloon.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  It is part of the Happy Birthday stamp set.

I made this for the following challenges:

Color Throwdown: color combo

Addicted to CAS: monster

Seize the Birthday: stencil

Corner Bookmark

I decided to make a bookmark today:

I used an SVG to cut the base of the bookmark.  You can download it here.

I used a cut file from Lettering Delights for the kitty with the book.  It is from a set called Teacher's Pet.

The stamps are from Jaded Blossom.  The one on the book is from Enchanted Candies and the one on the bottom of the bookmark is from Enchanted.

A Toast to You!

Here is a cute little card for you tonight:

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of dark brown card stock.  All the mats are cut using Jaded Blossom dies.  The gingham paper is cut using the Card Mat Dies, the pink and green dotted strips are cut using the Panel Dies, and the white mat is from the Goody Bag Die.

The sentiment is also from Jaded Blossom.  The first part is from the You Go Together Like, which was a freebie that went with the March 2016 release.  The "toast and jam" part is from the We Go Together Like 2 stamp set.

The toast and jam jar are cut files from Lettering Delights.  They are part of the Toasty set.  I hid their faces and used a Peachy Keen stamp for their faces instead.  I used the largest faces from the In the Garden Babies set.  I inked around the edges of the green pieces for the jar top with crushed olive Distress Ink and around the light colored part of the toast with tea dye Distress Ink.  I also added some shading to their cheeks with some pink chalk.  I cut the bow off the brown piece that looks like the twine and used a Jaded Blossom die from the Bow Dies set to make the bow.

I used more Jaded Blossom dies and stamps for the inside of the card also.  All the dies are from the Card Mat Dies set.  The sentiments are both from the You Go Together Like freebie.

I made this for the following challenges:

Jaded Blossom: food

Die Cuttin' Divas: sketch

Daring Cardmakers: wedding or anniversary
