For my card, I decided to use the new Monster Playful Add-On! 

For this card, I started by cutting a piece of 12x12 cardstock in half so I had a 12x6 piece of yellow Bazzill Basics cardstock. Then I scored it at 3" and 9". I used my bone folder to get a good fold on each side. 

I added some fun polka dot patterned paper. This was actually Halloween paper from Photoplay called Fright Night. I found some pretty patterned purple paper from Close to My Heart called I Heart Us and added two 1 1/4" pieces down each side. Then I added a strip of the same yellow cardstock as my card base. 

I die cut the pop-up mechanism for each monster from orange and pink cardstock. I used 100lb cardstock for this as I find that it keeps the moving arms in place better. The pink monster was folded the right way, but in order to get the orange monster to face the way he is, I had to turn the mechanism backwards and fold it that way. 

I die cut the face, horns and face pieces along with the square piece that goes on top of the mechanism all from smooth white heavy weight cardstock. I coloured everything in using Copic markers. I tried to add some "fur" to my monsters with my markers. I added long fur to my pink monster, and fluffy fur to my orange monster. 

I added Glossy Accents to the eyes and nose on the monsters. Once dry, I used a size 10 white Gelly Pen to add some shine lines. 

I die cut two different labels from the new Greeting Labels die set. I stamped a sentiment on to the smaller label using the new Monster Saying sentiment stamp set. I glued the other label down for a place to sign the card. 

At this point, I felt the card needed something else, so I used the monster foot prints that come with the new Rawr! die and created a fun foot print border up each side of the card. 

For the front of the card, I used the same patterned paper. I added a belly band to keep the card closed and then die cut the Rawr! sentiment to go on the front of the card. 

This was such a fun die set to play with and I know it's one I will get a lot of use out of!!!
