Of course, I had to start with the cute little monster and because he's devouring a cupcake, I'm joining the current Sweet Treats challenge at Time Out Challenges.
And because I created a birthday card, I'm sharing with Seize the Birthday's Anything Goes challenge.
This card was so fun to make!
I like the combination of orange and blue because I think it's gender neutral. I created Chompster from two shades of orange cardstock and used the darker orange for the card base and his party hat.
The monster dies are super easy to put together and I was smiling the entire time because he's so cute! The background arch panel was embossed with the Confetti Drop folder that comes with the kit.
The card base was created using arch dies and one of the Spellbinders Color Block Accent Arch dies. I think that's just the coolest look and I hope in the future they come out with rectangles with the same checkerboard design. The sentiment is from the Just Add Cake stamp and die set in the kit.
After creating the card base doing partial die cutting with the large arch die, the layers were added. The only thing popped up with foam tape is the sentiment. The final touches were to add the pompom on his hat and some Sparkle Texture Paste to the cupcake frosting. I was hoping it would have a bit more opacity, but it still looks sparkly IRL.
Thanks for taking time to stop by! Have a great weekend!

Oh what fun...a monster and his cupcake! Who doesn't love a cupcake???? The embossing folder adds the celebration element to the card in such a subtle way but adds to the party so well! Thanks for playing at Time Out, Stef!
He's too cute for his own good and I love the arched card shape with the stripes! This is oodles of fun, Stef!
Look at you treating yourself to some new crafty goodies. I absolutely love your monster eating cupcake. The colors are super together as well. A very happy and fun card that the recipient is going to love. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday, Happy Easter too! Have fun with your new toys!
He is adorable!!! And I love that you chose UF colors. (Wait! You didn't purposely choose UF Gator colors? ROFL!) If I ever get moved and have a craft room again I may have to purchase this set if still available. LOVE HIM! Thanks so much for playing with STB Stef!
I got the kit too, Stef, and this guy was the first thing I used. I made it for my great-grandson and switched out the cupcake for an ice cream cone die I had since I gave him coupons for the local ice cream shop. I love him with the Color Blocked Arches. I'll have to try that next time. Thanks for sharing your fabulous card with us at Time Out.
