MONSTERMANIACS AND SPREAD THE JOY! REMARKABLE STAMPERS STAMP OF THE MONTH BLOG TOUR IS ON!

Most of you probably figured out that I chose to highlight the SU! stamp set MONSTERMANIACS!  OMG, this set is so awesome!  I just LOVE it. This is one set that will remain in my stamp collection for many years to come because it's so gosh darn adorable and can be used for so many projects.

Here are some cards I made using this set:  CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO SEE IN GREATER DETAIL.

I'm not sure if you can tell but I added crystal effects to all of the cards.  The one above even has some dazzling diamonds glitter. I also used embossing folders for the cards.  The one above uses the script.

 

I may send this card to one of my good friends who has a birthday this week.  Notice how I cut the chevron ribbon (calypso coral) in 1/2 and frayed it.  Certainly is adorable accent with these cards.

Two of the images from MONSTERMANIACS are on the card above.  This little monster on the bottom could hold almost anything so he (or she - but looks like a he monster to me) could be used on any kind of a card.  The SERIOUSLY sentiment and HEY THERE FRIEND are sentiments I received in the SU! MY PAPER PUMPKIN kits this year.  If you haven't subscribed yet, think about it, because the kits are great!

For this last card, I added the OH WHAT FUN sentiment from the more merry messages stampin up! set in the HOLIDAY CATALOG.  The SU! HOLIDAY CATALOG link is over on the top right hand side of my blog.  You have until very early January to take advantage of purchasing most items in the catalog.  There are lots of cool items there, including some great accessories and papers and ribbons, and you know all those cool things that SU! sells.  By the way...it's CHRISTMAS!  TREAT YOURSELF TO SU! TODAY!
