Hello! I recently created a listed of occasions for which I regularly need cards. While I create a lot of holiday-specific cards (Halloween, Christmas, Easter), I’m often short on Thank You and birthday cards. Today I am sharing a whimsical birthday card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Monkey. I’ve previously used this set here and here.
- I die-cut the Monkey body from Bazzill 12 x 12 textured cardstock in brown and ivory. I own a lot of 12 x 12 cardstock from the period of time during which I scrapbooked.
- I used the Make Me Smile dies to cut the eyes, nose, and mouth from black cardstock.
- I assembled the monkey. Once assembled I decided that the ivory cardstock needed a little more color and I added Tea Dye ink with a small sponge applicator.
- I cut the balloon and party hat using the Party Accessories set.
- I stamped the sentiment on to a patterned paper rectangle.
- I added the elements to the card.
Supplies:
I admit it it gave me a giggle. SO cute.
I love monkeys! The soft card stock looks like fur! Great card.
Oh my goodness – how cute, Jean! That monkey looks full of mischief!!
