Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peeks Day 1: Monkey Business
Hi everyone! Welcome to day 1 of Taylored Expressions January 2016 Sneak Peeks!! This month is all about the Stamp & Die Combo stamp sets as well as a few fun new embossing folders and dies. Everything this release is just adorable!
My card today uses a new stamp and die combo set: Monkey Business. This features 3 adorable little monkeys, three sentiments and three coordinating dies.
Card Directions:
- Cut a vertical A2 Cardbase out of Toffee cardstock and set aside.
- Stamp monkey with banana on Sugar Cube using black dye ink and color with Copics and die cut with coordinating die.
- Cut the largest Stitched Rectangle Stacklet out of Sugar Cube and Salt Water Taffy. Die cut the Sugar Cube piece a second time with Let’s Talk Edger 2 die, aligning die near the middle of the Sugar Cube panel. Stamp sentiment on talk bubble using black ink. Wrap twine around and tie with bow. Set aside.
- Die cut the following pieces:
- Tallest and shortest tree trunks from Build a Scene Trees out of Chocolate Truffle cardstock.
- Fluffy leafs from Build a Scene Trees out of Build a Scene 6×6 Paper Pack leafs and green chevrons.
- Wispy Grass Border die out of Peapod and Granny Smith cardstock.
- Assemble the pieces as shown in picture on Salt Water Taffy background, popping the Granny Smith grass die cut up on foam tape.
- Attach monkey to scene using foam tape.
- Attach entire scene to cardbase with foam tape.
- Done!
That’s it! This went together really very quickly and I love these adorable little monkeys. I can see them coming in handy a lot when I am making birthday cards for my nieces and nephews.
