Monkey Punch Art

The Valentine's craze is over until next year and before I make another post I just wanted to share a special monkey card that I was requested to make for a co-worker's wife for Valentine's Day. Of course, this card could fit any occasion.

The card features some products from the Animal Expedition Suite from the Stampin' UP! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.


I was instantly inspired by the layout of a card created by Stesha Bloodhart so I took the liberty of casing it (CASE-copy and share everything). Click here to view her beautiful card.

I'm a big fan of punch art and since I didn't have any monkey stamps in my personal stash, I've decided to do some research and seek out some monkey punch art inspirations.
This is my inspiration and below is my final creation.

Isn't he just adorable? I really fell in love with this little guy...
Keep in mind that all except the circle punches are now retired. It's times like these when I'm so glad I have the punches in my stash. 

The cute little "pink" heart is punched out using the Owl punch from the Lovely Lipstick foil paper in the Sale-a-bration brochure. Sadly, this paper was so popular that it sold out and had to be removed from the inventory.


Here's another card using different background paper. This paper is from the popular Share What You Love Specialty designer series paper.
All current products that I used for this project are below. For the punches used for the monkey, please refer to the graphic above.

Thank you for stopping by! Please feel free to contact me for any questions.

Until next time...

Valentine's Day 3x3 cards and treat holder

I am sharing with you some super fun, simple and cute Valentine's Day cards with a coordinating treat holder with you this week.

 I had so much fun creating these for a group of foster/foster to adopt children. I sure hope they will receive them with a huge smile on their face. I placed the 3"x3" cards inside the pizza box along with the treats and our church community group packaged them up inside a bag along with some other goodies.



This adorable little crocodile stole my heart as soon as I saw it so I knew I had to incoporate him into my design. I love the Crumb Cake and Soft Sea Foam color combination for a masculine look.

The items shown below are all current products except for the white heart in the center of the box. The white heart was punched with the retired Sweetheart Punch. The sentiment "This is for you!" and hearts in the background is from the Takeout Treats stamp set from the Holiday 2018 catalog. 
I must say that I am addicted to the All my Love designer series paper! This paper is simply beautiful and can be used for all occasions and also for masculine and feminine cards. The card and box below uses all current products as shown in the table below.

 You can get all these products and more at My Online Store. Don't forget that during Sale-a-bration, for every $50 you purchase in product, you will receive a FREE SAB item of your choice from the SAB brochure.

 Also, stay tuned for the 2nd release of Sale-a-bration coming on Feburary 15th! Stampin' UP! will be releasing 3 more products to choose from.

 Until next time...
