Little Monkey

Oh what fun is the zoo! And these little monkeys are too cute.

Little Monkey Bundle (161379) is filled with adorable images and fun sayings AND has a coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (161378) who wouldn’t love that?

Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.

A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?

It also has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and a to of “sky” has been added behind using the Blending Brushes (153611) and some Classic Ink.

Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.

It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?

So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?

Crafting with You

Crafting, it’s been a big part of my life since childhood. From learning cross stich samplers as a child with my mother, Brownie activities, Summer Camp, and school Home Ec classes in middle school, art classes and now stamping. I’ve always loved to learn and create. How about you?

So when I saw the Crafting with You Bundle (161226) I could see the possibilities of creating projects and cards for my friends who also love being creative. Check out these lovely cards made with the set.

This first card uses color blocking in our new colors, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lemon Lolly to create a bright cheerful card using the embroidery hoop. Don’t you love the little metallic shine on the scissors that has been done with our Clear Wink of Stella (141897)? Or how about this second card for us Paper Crafters?

A section of our Grid Paper (130148) has been used as a backdrop for the card. Fun right? Love crafting?

Maybe you might enjoy this bundle too! Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out today? And don’t forget during August you can redeem your Bonus Day Coupons when you place an order with me.

And don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun video tutorial with you!

Another Fun Birds Eye View Card

Today’s card is a friendship card created with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set (161436) and it’s done in our new In Color Copper Clay.

I’m not sure why but this little bird with the glasses makes me think of school and the little caterpillar book I used to read to my children. Check out this lovely card

The card uses our fun Stampin’ Blends to color the image that has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456). The fun little piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (161629) lays on top of the 2023-2025 In Color Collection Designer Series Paper (161646). And the fun little Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) add a bit of shine.

Cute right? What a great set for creating wonderful cards. Simply team it up with your favorite sentiments!

More Zany Zoo

My daughter just sent me a photo of her at the zoo, in front of a favorite spot in any zoo or wildlife area – the alligators of course. She grew up with the crockodile hunter, Steve Irwin and has always been fascinated with these reptiles. So today I share with you projects made with the cute little stamp set, Zany Zoo (161305). This stamp set is part of a Suite of Products that allows you easy coordination when making your projects.

This first card uses the little crock to create a fun cheerful card.

The block of Designer Series Paper is from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304) which has these great black & white patterns on one side. The bold Black & White Gingham Ribbon (156485) creates a fun border for this whimsical guy.

And this next card uses another of the black & white patterns – however this time it has been modified a bit with our Blending Brushes (153611) and a bit of Bubble Bath Classic Ink (161664/161670).

This card was inspired by the card you’ll see on page 46 of the Annual Catalog. The color pallet has been changed to a fun bold one and uses our Stampin’ Blends to color the little ballerina.

I think these whimsical little images are so much fun and I love the way the Designer Series Paper makes a great addition with all of the different things we love.

Share a Milkshake

The summer temperatures are here and we all need a way to cool off, so how about the Share a Milkshake stamp set (160394) and their coordinating dies, Share a Milkshake Dies (160395).

The images will make you smile and a bit of calorie free coolness on a hot day. Check out this cheerful card. The color pallet was determined by the Designer Series Paper for this card.

The Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (161449) is packed full of bright cheerful colors and patterns! Just choose one to get started. Feel like a bit of “punch art”? Why not use the color wash side for the scoops of ice cream for a bolder look? I love the way we can create projects that feel so different with just a change up of color!

Enjoy! And take a few moments to enjoy the sweetness of life.
