I’ve been itching to use the Yummy in My Tummy stamp set from the Occasions catalog. The creatures are ugly and adorable at the same time. I finally got around to playing with it for today’s card. I tried to create the effect of the monster being just barely visible in the darkness.
Here’s what I made:
This card is dark and kind of hard to photograph, so I took pictures from different angles, and even lightened up one so you can see the monster’s features better.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Basic Gray card stock (CS) to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Urban Underground Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
Stamped with the Yummy in My Tummy stamp set:
- monster in Basic Black ink onto the DSP
- sentiment in Basic Black ink in the circle on the monster’s tummy
Used White Chalk Marker:
- filled in horns, teeth, and hands
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- the monster’s tummy from the DSP (keep the die cut circle for the sentiment
- the same size circle from the Basic Gray card base
- NOTE: After gluing the DSP to the front of the card base, open the card and lay it on the Big Shot. Use the hole in the DSP to line up the same circle die and cut through the Basic Gray CS.*
Assembled the card:
- *DSP (with circle cut from tummy) glued onto the card base, then the circle die cut again through the Basic Gray CS
- circle with sentiment glued onto the inside of the card base so it will show through the hole in the front
- two Blushing Bride self-stick enamel hearts stuck over the stamped hearts next to the sentiment
- I plan to write inside the card with the white chalk marker directly onto the Basic Gray card base.
Here’s what I used:
