VIDEO: Monstermaniacs Celebrate Card

stampin up monstermaniacs - tami whiteToday's video is over the top in stinkin' cuteness! From the Monstermaniacs Stamp Set #134972...maybe he's a monster, maybe he's an alien. You decide. Either way, I love him! The card/video offers some cool techniques, the background of the card is flattened in a technique I'm lovingly referring to as "waffling", a little masking and some sponging make him pop off the card. In the video, an accidental goof up makes a great twist on the card - check it out below and tell me which one you like the best.

Perfect for the boys in your life, and even for the monster lovin' gals.

VIDEO: Santa’s List Christmas Card

santas listcatherine sandersStinkin' adorable Christmas card using the Stampin' Up Santa's List stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. The video shows how to create this super cute card, and a few variations that make it easy to "mass produce" for your Holiday Card List.

Original created by Catherine Sanders. Here's how she the background as shown...in the video I will be using the Dictionary stamp for the background:

"The background was created in MDS... I typed out the lyrics to "Santa Claus is coming to town", using the Typewriter-Serial-ExtraBold Font in crumb cake ink. I created it in a custom size of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and then when I exported the .jpg, I opened it into a pages (equivalent to word) document, cut and pasted it 4 times and then spaced them out into the 4 quadrants. Printed it borderless on my printer on Crumb Cake card stock and voila!!"
