MONSTER MADNESS SWING SHADOWBOX CARDS | with Kathy

I'm excited to be kicking off a month of Monster Madness inspiration.  This collection is just the cutest... the little monsters are adorable!  I created a couple of fun swing shadowbox cards.. take a peek...

The fun part of these cards is that one of the icons "swings" when the card is shaken.  I got the idea for these cards here, then made them my own versions using the cute little critters from the Monster Madness Odds & Ends.

My first card features a few of the cute little monsters in the Odds & Ends pack.  The blue ghost guy swings back and forth.  I love that these little monsters can be used for celebrations other than Halloween... they can be used for birthdays, or just because too!

To make the swing, I created and cut a shape like a bubble wand from some acetate using my Silhouette.  I punched some small circles and glued them together in a stack, then glued them to an insert in the top of my shadowbox card.   The ghost is attached to the wand "handle".  I put the circular part of the wand over the punched circle stack, then added a strip of paper to keep the swing in place.  I finished the card with a sentiment from the Chit Chat pieces, and added some shaped star sprinkles.

This video shows how the little monster swings back and forth.

I featured the little spiders from the collection in my next card.  I've always said... only Doodlebug can make a cute spider!  I cut some spider webs using the Booville Spider Circle SVG file.  I added spiders from the Odds & Ends and some eyes sprinkles from the Eye See You sprinkles on the background to make it a bit spooky.  The sentiment is from the Odds & Ends pack.

In this close up you can see how the spider hangs from the acetate wand.

This video shows the little spider in action.

MADE WITH LOVE SHADOW BOX CARDS | with Kathy

I am so excited to be kicking off a few weeks of Made with Love inspiration!  If you haven't taken a good look at this collection, you're missing out!  It's full of great patterns and colors and the cutest little baking related icons!  It's perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond!  I had so many ideas streaming through my head... I finally decided to create some fun shadowbox cards.  Take a peek...

I always love making little scenes with the Doodlebug Icons... you can use the Icon Stickers, Odds & Ends or the Mini Icon Stickers to create the cutest little scenes.  For my first card, I used the stickers from the Mini Icon Stickers to create a little kitchen scene.

I'm torn as to what my favorite icon is... the mixer, the cupcakes... that little egg, oh wait, the sprinkles bottle.. they are all beyond cute.  I layered them all in a kitchen scene.   I used some buffalo check woodgrain petite prints for my cabinets and used papers from the Made with Love 6x6 pad... I love how the patterns are scaled down.  They are perfect for cardmaking!  I finished the card with a sentiment from the chit chat pieces and some of the little sprinkle hearts from the With All My Heart Shaped Sprinkles.

I used the cupcakes and streamers from the Odds & Ends pack to create my next little scene.  Their little sprinkles just make me smile!  I used two of my favorite papers from the 6x6 pad... the cinnamon hearts paper in the background and the cake plaider paper.  Doodlebug plaids are my absolute favorites!!  Again I finished the card with a sentiment from the chit chat pieces and some of the little sprinkle hearts from the With All My Heart Shaped Sprinkles.
