How to Make a Cute Monster Card + Get Well and Cat Birthday Cards

Hey, folks!

After making the monster tags for my last video, I had one monster left over and didn't want to neglect him!



I made this card using dies from We R Memory Keepers -- the frame die is from one set, and the square with rounded corners is from a separate set.  I thought this sentiment was a good fit for the monster because he's got his cute little hands out! :o)  I wrote "I Love You" with a black fineliner and spelled out the rest with little foam Thickers from American Crafts.

In my video, I showed this card that I made back in February using Taylored Expressions stamps and dies [click here for the original blog post for this card]:



Here's the other card I showed in the video -- I made this for my dad's birthday this year!



The cat is from Penny Black's Good Day stamp set.  I coloured him to look a little bit like Humble! :o)  They have a range of stamp sets and rubber stamps featuring these adorable cats doing different things -- typing, driving a car, riding a bicycle...they're just so cute!

Here's my video showing how I made the monster card, and I also share a simple tip for placing letter stickers!

Got the Sniffles Card with Taylored Expressions' Souper Soon

Hey, folks!

Here to share this card I made using the Souper Soon stamp & die combo from Taylored Expressions...


:o)
I really like this particular series of stamps with the smiling characters -- they're so cute!  I've collected three of the sets so far.
I also used TE's Cloud Border die -- that's a fun one!  The cute little heart is from their Stamp of Approval set of Little Bits dies.

I'm entering my card in TE's Share Joy Challenge #21:



I coloured and die-cut the characters a while back, and they were just waiting to be made into something!  I set out to make a card based on the sketch only, but by the time the card came together, I realized that I had used three of the colour challenge colours also.  Hoo-hoo! :o)

Hope you have a happy day!

Cheery Get Well Card

Hello, crafty folks!  Here today to share a card that appeared in Card Creations: Volume 12...


:o)
These colours make me happy!  The Thickers chipboard letters are from the Kitten set -- my favourite Thickers alpha set from my collection of them!  The chipboard flowers and patterned paper are from Pebbles' From Me To You collection -- love that cheerful collection.  I don't often use doilies in my crafting, but I got a pack of doilies as a gift in a past Ellen Hutson order, so I thought it would be fun to see what could be made with one of 'em! :o)
