These cute card ideas for Halloween PROVE that monsters don’t always have to be scary! Even though this Cute Monsters set isn’t really something I might choose for myself, I was excited to see that the parts and pieces are so fun and mixable that I just had to sit down and play with them! Between spooky Halloween cards and super CUTE Halloween cards like these, well, Rubbernecker sure has us covered!
To make this card I used the newly released Cute Monsters #1 and Cute Monsters #2 paired with the Inside Scallop Nested, Upper Case Alphabet w/ Stitch, Lower Case Alphabet w/ Stitch and Grass.
The Card Base and Grass
- Cut the card base and the scallop layer using white cardstock.
- Apply masking tape around the border of the scallop layer and apply a cloudy blue background using a blender brush and light blue ink.
- Cut a 4.00″ x 5.24″ layer using green cardstock and attach it to the card base using ATG adhesive.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the scene layer and attach it to the card base.
- Cut a strip of grass using green cardstock and attach it to the card base.
The Sentiment and Monsters
- Cut the upper and lower case letters using bright yellow cardstock.
- Apply threads of rolled up double stick tape to the back of the letters and attach them to the scene layer.
- Note: I wanted to be sure I’d have enough space for all the letters on a card front so I set them in place before I apply adhesive. Once that I saw they would fit I attached the H and the N in place and then filled in with the rest of the letters.
- Use brightly colored cardstock to cut the monsters.
- Mix and match the body parts and attach them together using glossy accents.
- Apply pieces of mounting tape to the back of the monsters and attach them to the scene base.
As I said, I usually gravitate toward things based more in nature but these Cute Monsters made me want to step outside of that and I am just getting such a kick out of these little fellas trying to be scary but just ending up cute!
