Sweet Little Monkey Asleep on the Leaves

-

It's been awhile since I've needed to send a baby card, but since I do have a coworker who will be welcoming a child at the end of summer, I thought I would get a head start! And since I was playing with the Little Monkey bundle for an upcoming class, I decided now was a good time.



Paper supplies and their measurements
  • Basic White Notecard
  • Basic White cardstock (3" x 4", scraps)
  • Pecan Pie cardstock (scrap)
  • Crumb Cake (scrap)
  • Lemon Lime Twist cardstock (scrap)
  • Glorious Gingham DSP (1-1/2" x 5")

Directions
  1. Stamp the large leaves in Garden Green ink in the middle of the Basic White layer, radiating the leaves out from the center. I stamped three directly onto the layer and then I stamped two on my scrap layer. Color using Lemon Lime Twist Blends. Fussy cut the two on the scrap layer.
  2. Stamp the bushier leaves around the previously stamped leaves, also using Garden Green ink and color them with the Granny Apple Green Blends.
  3. Fill in white areas with the vine image, using Garden Green ink. Color with Dark Granny Apple Green Blend.
  4. Stamp monkey in Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie scrap. Punch out using Little Monkey punch.
  5. Stamp the face image in Pecan Pie ink on Crumb Cake scrap, then punch out (make sure you're getting ears at the same time.
  6. Adhere the face and ears to the stamp using Tombow glue. 
  7. Adhere Monkey to the stamped Basic White layer using Dimensionals. If there are bare spots, add in the fussy cut leaves as desired.
  8. Adhere DSP strip to the notecard with Tombow glue, then add the stamped Basic White layer to the card with Dimensionals. 
  9. Stamp "Little Monkey" in Garden Green ink on Lemon Lime Twist scrap twice. Fussy cut around "monkey" on one, and do straight cuts on "Little". Adhere to card front.
  10. Decorate the inside of the card as desired.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer.
