Guest Blogger: Kimberly Crawford Day 3
Today is our last day with the fabulous Kimberly Crawford, who has been our amazing Guest Blogger this month! She has been showing off how to create a darling party ensemble using our Party Monsters stamp set and today we’ve got the final installment to share with you!
Kimberly’s Notes: Today it’s time to wrap up the Monster party. I have a thank you card and a fun way to use up your left over pieces to create a pocket page layout that will be done before the party is even over!
Monster Thank You card
Instructions:
- Trim green cardstock to fit card base. Stamp with present image from Party Monsters.
- Trim patterned paper and mat with darker cardstock. Adhere panel to card.
- Die cut From Me To You label from cardstock.
- Stamp with thank you sentiment. Adhere to card.
- Stamp Party Monsters image onto cardstock. Color with Copics. Trim out. Adhere to card.
Tips: Have your child color the monster images to make the thank you more personal.
Supplies: TEFS136 Party Monsters; TEPS From Me to You; Cardstock; Patterned paper; Copics; Ink
Monster Page Layout
Kimberly’s Tips: Save all the extra cardstock, stamped images, die cut images, and more when you are creating your party décor! Use the pieces and parts to create a pocket page layout that coordinates with the special day. You can have the page completed before the party even starts! Now that is being efficient! Use and remove the journaling cards as needed, to work with your photos. On this spread, I have enough journaling cards created to make a double page spread. I also used Birthday Treat Toppers to create elements for your layouts.
Supplies: TEFS136 Party Monsters; TEMS52 Big Bold Birthday; TE334 Spotted Cutting Plate; TE214 Birthday Treat Toppers; TE218 Party Banner Border; TE101 Chevron Border Dies
