Little Monkey for PP644

Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, I’m so excited to be hosting our Color Challenge.
It’s no secret that I’m a little obsessed with the new and returning colors in the color refresh Stampin’ Up!® announced in the Annual Catalog this year. Lemon Lolly is quite possibly the perfect yellow (in my opinion anyway) and paired with Lost Lagoon…just a beautiful match indeed. I originally fell in love with this combo on THIS CARD I created back in the beginning of May and wanted to have a go with it again for this challenge. I sure hope you will take these colors for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Since I used florals on my original card with this combo, I wanted to try to find something else in my stamp stash that would showcase these colors well. Hello there Little Monkey stamp set! My neutral is Crumb Cake for the monkey and the tree branch. This little guy is swinging by to say hi…and steal some yummy bananas while he is at it! 

The monkey and bunch of bananas were easy to cut out with the coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (hooray for no fussy-cutting!) and I used the trusty Stylish Shapes Dies to help build the scene. This is just a happy card. I love it and I hope you do as well! 
Card Measurements and Details:
  • Lemon Lolly Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
  • Lost Lagoon Cardstock: 3-3/4” x 5” 
  • Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper: 3-5/8” x 4-7/8” 
  • Basic White Cardstock: scrap to die-cut largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Lost Lagoon Cardstock: scrap to die-cut banner from Stylish Shapes Dies, heat emboss sentiment 
  • Basic White Cardstock (card interior): 3-3/4” x 5” 
Finally, here is a peek inside the card. What is more fun than one monkey? Well another monkey, of course. I kept the party going with a second little fella and his bitty banana. The sentiment was perfect along with a little pop of foliage to bring the Lost Lagoon color inside. 

Random fact: Did you know that a group of monkey’s is called a “troop”. That’s kind of fun, right? 

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Color ChallengeWe’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday June 16th, 2023

Positive Inkers Blog Hop - January 2023

Hello Stamping Friends! I’m thrilled to join the Positive Inkers Design Team for our January 2023 Blog Hop. Happy New Year! 

We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the globe who are super-excited to share our love of creativity. I’m so happy you stopped by today! 

If this is the fist time you are visiting, please let me introduce myself. My name is Anne Marie Hile and I live in San Antonio, Texas. Welcome!
Our theme for this month is: Sale-A-Bration!

Sale-A-Bration is my favorite time of the Stampin’ Up!® year! It’s a great time to get “more bang for your buck” while you earn FREE crafty products with a qualifying order. Our blog hop is happening just a few days before Sale-A-Bration officially kicks off, so I hope you enjoy some sneak peeks of the awesome products that can be earned for free starting January 5th! 

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my projects below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo:
My card features two of my favorite products in the Sale-A-Bration offering this year. The Adorable Owls stamp set is soooo stinking cute! It is a great set to use with Stampin’ Blends or another coloring medium. Those little wide-eyed owls will surely bring a smile to everyone’s face, don’t you think? This set will be FREE with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration. 

I also used the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper which is an awesome MEGA pack of paper in fun colors and prints that can be earned for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration. 48 sheets of 12” x 12” paper…4 each in 12 double-sided designs. This is probably one of my favorite products in the SAB catalog! You can make SO many projects with this paper pack! 
I decided to create a fun card with some masculine colors, because I ALWAYS need masculine cards for some reason. The stamped owl was easy to color and fussy-cut and I just love the patterns in the DSP. The green in the DSP wasn’t quite Shaded Spruce, nor was it Granny Apple Green. I thought Shaded Spruce mixed better with the tones in the green even if it isn’t an exact match. 
Card Measurements & Details:
  • Balmy Blue Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2"
  • Shaded Spruce Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”, emboss with Gingham Embossing Folder
  • Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration Exclusive): (2) pieces, 2” x 4-1/2” each
  • Basic White Cardstock: scrap to die-cut the second largest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies, add some Balmy Blue ink to background with a Blending Brush
  • Basic White Cardstock: scrap to stamp owl image, color with Stampin’ Blends and fussy-cut
  • Basic White Cardstock: 2” x 1/2”, stamp sentiment in Memento ink, banner punch right side with Banners Pick A Punch
  • White Baker’s Twine and Classic Matte Dots
  • Basic White Cardstock (card interior): 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiment and owl image in Memento ink, color owl with Stampin’ Blends
  • Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (card interior): 4” x 1/2” 
Finally, a peek inside the card. I added another piece of the plaid paper along with another stamped owl / sentiment from the set. These little owls make me smile. You can never go wrong with an owl with a fun birthday hat or bow tie, am I right? 

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and that you are as excited as I am for Sale-A-Bration starting on January 5th!  Please stop by to visit everyone on the hop and leave us a comment to say hello. We’d all love to hear from you and so appreciate you stopping by. If you are following the hop, my sweet friend Jo Blackman in the UK is your next destination.
