Mini Monsters Card: Fun & Easy Glitter, Glossy Accents, and Embossing Techniques

Hi everyone!  This is Kimberly (My Craft Spot) with a fun project for you.  I just got this new cartridge and wanted to make something fun, but not Halloween, since it is July!  I am really loving the Mini Monsters Cartridge!  I used my gypsy, lots of glitter (I even mixed two colors to get a new color - see my video), Glossy accents, Cuttlebug and Heat Embossing.  I really had fun making this new card and exploring some new techniques!




Here are two videos showing the fun glitter techniques I used and the Glossy accents and embossing.  Hope you enjoy them!!

Part 1: Mini Monsters Card



Part 2: Mini Monsters Card



Have a great weekend!

That is too cute. I loved your videos and the techniques you shared. Awesome background piece. And I liked the little bit of drool too. ;-)

Kimberly this card is totally adorable!! I love the glitter and wow sealing it with glossy accents made it even better! I am so excited now as I just purchased this cart last night and will be thrilled if my card turns out even half as cute as yours! The videos are great I watched them both and learned so much! Thans for sharing.

This card is adorable. These are some of the best videos I have ever seen. You did an excellent job of explaining things and taking your time. What brand of glitter do you use and like?

Thanks,
