You Da' Beast!

Hey!  Here today with a quick post sharing a shaped card with my favorite friend.  BIGFOOT!


This card features the Lil' Squatch Stamp set from Ellen Hutson (Julie Ebersole).  I stamped the background images on copic friendly paper and build my scene coloring with Copics and hand-drawing the path in the middle and the grass as well.  I die cut this using a large Hero Arts Infinity Circle Die.  Once I had my scene set, I decided to add a front layer with grass for my Squatch to hang out on.  The grass is cut using the Trinity Slimline Scenic Border die set, with a combo of Peeled Paint Distress Ink and Twisted Citron Distress Ink on top using my Blending Buddy.  Then I cut it with the circle die again. I stamped the sentiment on top.  Then I stamped and colored my Squatch, colored him and cut him out.  I added mounted him with foam tape and added a little shading below his feet. Lastly, I added the cute little mushroom embellishments are called Feeling Mushy from Trinity Stamps.



I love the way my Squatch turned out, it is such a fun scene.  It makes me happy.  As I posting this I am watching Expedition Bigfoot on the Travel Channel- Go ahead laugh at me, I just love to believe in the possibility of undiscovered creatures and mystery. :)

OK, that's all today, just wanted to share this fun post.  Feel free to leave me a comment letting me know if you love Bigfoot too. :)

Thanks for the visit!

Make a Monster

Happy Saturday!

Hopefully you joined us for the Trinity new release hop yesterday.  But you have lots of time to join.  I also have another fun set of creations for you today that might inspire you to to join in on the fun!



Aren't they adorable?!  Little monster cups perfect for valentines!  I love each cute little character.  Seriously this Make a Monster Die Set is so cute and adaptable!  Check out all these parts-


Here is a close up of each of the three cups individually: 


This one kinda makes me think of Sully from Monster's Inc.  It must be the  fuzzy horns.  I die cut them in blue, but added some color to them with Copics to make them look that way.  I also added gel highlights to the nose.  The eyes are the I've Got My Eye On You Embellishments.  I think what I used as teeth is meant to be an eyebrow, but I used it as teeth. 




This one is girlfriend monster!  She likes to dress up and has her glittery lipstick and eyeshadow.  In the middle of her bow, you'll notice a little heart using the Sweet Strawberry Heart Sprinkles. 



This last one is my favorite because he reminds me of the Lorax with his mustache.  Again, I believe these are meant to be eyebrows, but they make the perfect mustache.  The heart and the base sleeves (on all the cups) are from Mini Coffee Cup Sleeve and Die Set  and of course the Mini Paper Cup Craft Kit.


So do you like them?  I think they are pretty fun and enjoyed making them.  Thank you for visiting and be sure to check out our blog hop from yesterday- you can find the full list here.
