Hi DeNami Friends,

We welcome back Anika Lerche for another cute and fun card. She created this adorable birthday card using the monster and balloon stamp. This is great for sending cheer or any kind of celebration.

She was so clever to make a bouquet of balloons with the one balloon that is on the stamp itself. So creative! You can also just create a balloon bouquet for any other kind of cards separately. The possibilities are endless.

We are so delighted to have featured Anika with us. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our guest posts. You never know who will be next.

• I stamped the monster onto Copic friendly paper, masked it with a post it note and stamped some additional balloons. After that I colored the image with Copics. 
• I masked the monster once gain, this time with masking fluid and added some inkblending to the background to create a sky.
• I stamped the sentiment with Versafine.
• I die cute the square from that piece of paper, added a layer of kraft cardstock.
• To the cardbase I adhered a piece of patterned paper an assembled the card.

Hi DeNami Friends,

Anika Lerche returns for a whimsical and fun card using the monster in car stamp. They are doing a little joy ride and sharing the joy here.

The card is simple, but the colors are exquisite. This card would be easy to make into a birthday or celebration card just by changing the sentiment and adding a bouquet of balloons to the car.

These little monsters are busy and have many fun activities. You can add to your collection to use for any and all occasions.

She will be returning next Friday for another card surprise. Be sure to check back.
Thanks for stopping by!

• I took a piece of white cardstock and added some ink blending. I splattered some water on it to get the droplets effect and cut it it down a little bit more narrow than my card base.
• For the image I chose to go for no line coloring: I stamped the image in a light ink and colored them with colored pencils. I adhered the monsters in the car with a action Whobbler to the card panel.
• I adhered some patterned paper with black and white stripes to the card base and added the card panel.

Hello DeNami Friends,

Today we have a special guest from Germany, Anika Lerche. She is an avid card maker and creator. You will see she has a keen eye for color and design. She uses many mediums from colored pencils, to markers to watercolors.

She will be joining us on Fridays for the few weeks so be sure to visit.









Here's my monster tag projects:

• I die cut tags from Copic friendly paper.
• I stamped the birds with Memento ink and colored them with Copic markers. I also created a ground and a sky around them with copics.
• I choose one color for every bird/tag and left the tag monochrome.
• I die cut the sentiment from matching cardstock.
• For some contrast I added black and white twine.

Hello DeNami friends! It’s Deb and today I have a little project to share with you that I created using Monster Celebrations clear stamp set. This set is super cute and fun to work with. It’s a shame that this stamp set didn’t exist when my kids had their joint monster birthday party last summer. Oh well. So glad that I get to play with it now.


Here are the two projects together. Bright and cheerful. Thanks for stopping by!
