About Me

My Photo
Wow - it's been almost a year since I started up my blog, and how things have changed!!! When I signed up as an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I never realised how it would take over my life......... in a good way! I had no intention of doing workshops or running classes, but have ended up doing both. I love it!!! I do also have a full time job (moan) that helps keep me from crafting all day long. I somehow find the time to do both though and it's thoroughly enjoyable and the best decision I ever made. Maybe one day I will be doing crafting full-time..... we have to dream right???

Monkey Madness!!!!

Hi everyone - I wanted to share with you a card I have made for the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge this week.

I went a bit monkey mad and ended up stamping some Fox and Friends monkeys in Rose Red and cutting them out.  A little fiddly, but fairly quick to do.  It's just the tail that gets in the way a bit, but thankfully I didn't accidentally chop any off!  
I used Pear Pizazz DSP (level 1 hostess reward) for a leafy backdrop, and also stamped onto some Crumb Cake card with the leaves from the Confetti stamp set, in Versamark.  The branches are cut in Pear Pizazz from the 2-Step Bird Punch.



They are definitely some playful little monkeys, hanging out in the trees!

The Details: 
Card / Paper - Rose Red / Crumb Cake / Whisper White / Pear Pizzazz DSP (L1 Hostess)
Stamps / Ink - Fox and Friends / Afterthoughts (L1 Hostess) / Plane and Simple / Confetti / Versamark / Rose Red
Embellishments -  1/2" Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon
Tools - 2-Step Bird Punch / 1 1/2" Scallop Square Punch / Sticky Strip / Stamp-a-ma-jig / Snail / Dimensionals
