Monster-ous Birthday Wishes!


Today I’m sharing a birthday card that I made using the image and colouring class from Kit and ClowderBonus Class – July – August 2024 – Cute Monster. Had so much fun with this class learning how to blend colours and make spiky fur!

The image was printed onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using a HP printer set to High Quality Grayscale at the size of 3.75″ x 3.24″. It was coloured in using the instructional video from Alyce from Kit and Clowder and then fussy cut.  The cut image was applied to Recollections – Black cardstock and fussy cut again. The sentiment from Your Next Stamp – Silly Monsters was applied using Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail and VersaMark ink onto Recollections – Black cardstock. A MISTI was used to get a clear stamped image. The embossing powder was heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The sentiment was then fussy cut.

A card base at the size of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock was created. Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Peacock Feathers was applied all around the inside edges of the card with a blender brush. The patterned monster paper from Forever In Time – Party Monsters Perfect Prints was cut to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Shaded Lilac was applied all around the edges using a blender brush and finger dauber. This was adhered directly to the base using liquid glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the monster and the sentiment and both were popped up onto the centre of the card. Lastly, Kraftin’ Kimmie – Underwater Dots and Stickles – Diamond were applied to the finished card to add some bling.
