Today is my first time participating in the Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop. I used the Boo to You stamp set, Word Wishes Dies, and Monster Bash Designer Series Paper to create this greeting for my foyer table.  I just love the Boo to You stamp set’s three adorable little monsters. Now I realize that “adorable monsters” might seem like an oxymoron, but these guys really are cute.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Monster Bash Designer Series Paper (DSP) background cut to 5″ x 7″

Stamped with the Boo to You stamp set:

• 3 monsters in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock (CS)

Cut using the Word Wishes Dies:

• “Happy” and “Halloween” from scraps of Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black CS

Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:

• monsters in Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Bronze, and Basic Black
• I also added some shading using an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker.

Cut using Paper Snips:

• 3 colored monsters

Assembled the project:

• googly eyes glued onto the monsters (purple monster has two small orange eyes; zombie had a small white eye and a large purple eye; werewolf has a large purple eye and a small green eye.)
• Pumpkin Pie CS words glued on top of the Basic Black CS words, just slightly askew to make a shadow
• monsters adhered onto the DSP using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
• die cut words glued onto the DSP
• the whole thing popped into a 5″ x 7″ frame
