OCC...We're Good Together

This week's hostess is Lori Rider and the challenge for us is: Cut it Out: Use a technique that requires cutting (fussy cutting, paper piecing, out of the box, etc.).


I have another Make a Monster Card for you, this actually the first card I made with this set, the others followed that I showed you earlier this week. I was inspired to make this card when I was shopping with my DD at a local Big Box Store and we went down the Valentine aisle and she showed me some stuffed animals she had seen and thought was very cute. They where pink and red Monsters/Aliens, some had only one eye and some had antennas with hearts and they where just so cute and soft and cuddly. I immediately thought of the Make a Monster Stamp Set that I got this past summer and had never used. I new I could make a cute Monster Valentine, and this is what I came up with.

I stamped the two monsters out onto some white card stock ands colored them in with my copics. I then cut them out and added them to the BG piece. I added a layered heart that was cut with the heart to heart embosslit and the full heart punch. The sentiment comes from the Full of Love Set. The card is not a standard size card, I had a piece of real red card stock on my desk that I decided to use for the base. The base size on this one is 4-1/4" x 5". I then added some pretty in pink card stock the designer paper is from the Play Date paper pack. The bottom half of the BG piece is also pretty in pink that is embossed with the square lattice EF. I added some rick-rack from my stash. I then added a button to the sentiment flag and a few silver pearls and alot of piercing around the image and BG panel.

I hope you’ll play along this week and have fun with this challenge! Be sure to check out the rest of the OCC design team creations!

Sick Monsters!

TGIF Peeps!!!

As promised here is another Make a Monster Card. These little monsters are so fun, the parts are all inter changeable, so you can make your monster however you like! I stamped these all and colored them with my Copic Markers and Cut them out. I lined them all up onto a piece of white embossed card stock. I used the square lattice embossing folder.

I created my grass with a bit of garden green card stock and my paper snips. Just cutting small slits all along the edge. I matted this with a piece of Poppy Parade card stock and tied a bit of black taffeta around the bottom. I mounted this on an angle to my card base which is made from a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. The sentiment is from the Word Play set. I stamped with Poppy Parade ink onto white card stock and punched out with my key tag punch. I matted with more poppy parade and then used the other part of the stamp to add the bottom sentiment.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for coming by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

FTL126.....Greetings

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the Fall to Layout #126 on the Clean & simple Stamping Blog.

I have been playing with this Make a Monster stamp set that I got ages ago and had never used. I have made a few other cards, I will show you later, but today I am showing you what I am calling "My Pickle Monster"!!!

He is colored with markers and cut out and added to the circle with some dimensionals. I used the square lattice embossing folder on the white circle and then matted with a basic black scallop circle. I embossed a piece of garden green with a stripe (non SU) embossing folder and matted that with more basic black. I added some black brads to the corners. I added a piece of basic black satin ribbon under the monster.

The "greetings" sentiment comes from the "On your Birthday" stamp set. I just inked up a portion of the stamp and used my stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. I added the three little dots with my black marker.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!
