Punchart Monkey

The other day my nephew requested I make a monkey card for him.  What's an auntie to do?  Being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I had to look for punchart, of course!  How cute is this little monkey?  I got the instructions from Dawn O.  Isn't it cute?  I didn't have much creative juice flowing when I made this.  Now looking at it, I could have just cut out his name and put it on the card.  What kid doesn't like to see his name on something, right?  Oh well.  Next time.

I also wanted to play with an idea that I saw on Justin's blog, where he used the different size framelits to make a pop up frame.  Not sure if you can see the detail.  The Island Indigo piece is cut using 2 different size framelits at the same time.  The bottom DSP is cut using the large size framelit.  Then the Island Indigo one is carefully popped up with Dimensionals on top.

Thoughts & Prayers (Extra Long) Week #5

Thanks for sticking with me. :)  This card concludes my Thoughts & Prayers series.  This is a simple card that can easily be a happy card, by simply swapping out the sentiments.  The stamped flowers behind the sentiments were inked up with Rose Red.  Stamped off once on scratch paper, so it is a lighter shade.

My Supplies List (all supplies and images by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Stamp Set(s): Thoughts and Prayers

Ink: Rose Red, Chocolate Chip

Papers: Rose Red

Accessories: Labels Framelits, Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder

Thoughts & Prayers (Extra Long) Week #4

See, I told you I had more cards using this set.  Isn't this a beautifully serene card?  I wanted to showcase the vase punchart on this card.  Do you know what punch I used for this vase?  It's the Ornament punch with the pointy end cut off.  I then embossed the vase in Fancy Fan embossing folder. Added Dazzling Diamond on top, just to give it a little shine.  Topped off with some Basic Rhinestones.

The branch is first stamped in Early Espresso.  Then I used my Blender Pen, "erased" the flowers, and used a Baja Breeze marker to color the flowers.  Give the entire stamp a little huff before stamping, and voila!  Beautiful branch with flowers.

This card can really be any occasion you want it to be.  Just change up the sentiment.  I stuck with Thoughts & Prayers, since that's what I'm featuring, but I think this design can be great for an elegant birthday card, too, don't you think?
