Sister Stamps–Monkey

Sister Stamps has all these super cute Chinese Zodiac stamps lined up.  The Snake and Horse have already been released and on Friday you can get your very own Sheep and Monkey!

I need some boy cards, and I thought the Monkey would be perfect.  I kept a the colors neutral and used paper piercing to break up the colors a little.  (Can you tell that paper piercing is my new go-to technique?!)  When I think of monkeys I think of little kids who climb on everything, so I perched this Monkey on the top of the card sitting on the top of the sentiment.

Be sure to stop by the Sister Stamps blog for more Release 11 projects and TONS of blog candy!  And the ladies below are also participating in this release and have amazing projects to share too.

Sister Stamps–Release 11

Have you been checking out the new release projects over at the Sister Stamp blog?  SO CUTE! 

For this release, they have 5 new stamps!  2 are from their Chinese Zodiac Images and I get to help introduce them to you!
I think the sheep is so cute and innocent looking.  I think he would be great for a baby card, but since I hardly ever need baby cards, I made a birthday card.

Visit all the great blogs below to see more projects!  And a big welcome to Suilan – the guest designer for release 11!

Snow Much Fun Thank You

January is almost over and this is my first post of the new year…man, I feel like a slacker! The day job has been super busy for me and I just don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done that I would like. And unfortunately since the day job pays the bills, other things (including crafting) have to be sacrificed. I will be posting even less than before, but I still hope to get some projects on here, so check back periodically.

BUT DON’T GIVE UP ON ME JUST YET… I have a couple of projects lined up for later this week. Here’s a hint:

Until then, below is the card that I made for all my Christmas thank you’s. I even stamped the envelope! The snow man and bird on the snowball are from the Snow Much Fun stamp set.

 

 

Hope you all had a great New Year!
