With fewer Halloween themed products right now (although September 4th will bring more…stay tuned!), I thought it would be a good time to get creative and make Monster Cards for you. I love creating monster cards and projects and have done so many times in the past with other products.
My desire to come up with a monster card, inspiration from a fun fold card shared by Terri Gaines at the August Creative Connections event, and the “teeth-looking” Frozen Edges Dies debuting 9/4/24 got my mind spinning. And I came up with more than just one “talking” monster card! They are addicting! So if you are not into making Halloween cards? I’ll also show you how to adapt these to make monster cards for birthdays and beyond.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these clever creatures with some current and soon-to-be new Stampin’ Up!® product: Throughout the Year Stamp Set, Round We Go Stamp Set & Dies, Frozen Edges Dies, Thoughtful Journey & Splendid Autumn Paper Packs, and more.
And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
