Valentine Monkey at Miss Kate Cuttables

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It is my day to post at Miss Kate Cuttables again and I want remind you to that there is a free file every day. YES! Everyday a new and different one. Be sure to get yours today!

Here is my Design Team project...

I sure do have a fun monkey that just loves to hang around. Instead of collecting bananas... he has hearts! He is sending you lots of love for Valentines. 

First, the background papers were distressed with the Zutter DIA. Then the monkey's edges were lightly inked before assembling.

A light brown triple crinkle bow with a pink double twine bow and it is topped with a tiny tag by My Craft Spot.

The monkey is adhered with pop dots to add dimension to look like he is swinging from the branch.

Other Materials:

My Mind's Eye pattern paper

brown and pink card stock

Ranger Archival ink ~ potting soil

Tiny Tags sentiment

red heart button

A Birthday Monkey at Die Cuttin' Diva

Welcome back for another Die Cuttin' Diva Tuesday.

This Week's Challenge...

Birthday

Here is my Design Team project...

My husband's best friend from high school has a son who just turned one this past weekend and they are having a BIG party this upcoming weekend to celebrate. I made a card to match the birthday invitation.

The monkey is from Miss Kate Cuttables. Be sure to check out the site each and every day for the freebie. This monkey was one.

This stamp is from Cardz TV...Make a Wish stamp set. I am so glad I found it in my collection. I used a Spellbinders Ribbon Banner.

This is a 5" X 5" square card base.

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Birthday" Challenge. Can't wait to see what you create. Check out the other Design Team projects while there...the variety of ways to celebrate a birthday is endless!

Just Monkey-ing Around at Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Diva Tuesday!

Our challenge this week is...

Anything Goes

Don't you love these weeks when you can create whatever you like?!?!

 

Here is my Design Team project...

 I wanted the sentiment over the monkey's head, so it looked like he was throwing it up in the air. The edges of the Spellbinder and the grass were inked in brown.

I added the butterflies to make it more whimsical.

My Mind's Eye paper ~ Lime Twist

brown, green, and cream card stock

Nate's ABCs Cricut cartridge ~ monkey ( p. 57)

Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge ~ butterflies (p. 55)

cream embroidery floss

My Pink Stamper stamp ~ That's Punny-licious

brown ink

Spellbinders ~ Beaded Ovals

wiggly eyes

scalloped edge punch ~ EK success

 

Looking forward to seeing all those projects you create this week.

Curious George

Good Morning,

I hope everyone is having a great day. I am up early before the family, which gives me some quiet computer time. : ) I wanted to share this card I made for a co-worker. She asked for a birthday card for a 3 year old that loves Dora the Explorer and Curious George.

First, I thought about a backback (that song just sticks in your head), but I decided on Curious George (and the man in the yellow hat) because he in so much fun.

Materials:

Create-a- Critter ~ monkey cut at 3 1/2"

Everyday Paper Dolls ~ farmer hat cut at 3"

Celebrations ~ present

Hannah Montana ~ personalized name cut at 1/2"

embossed rainbow cardstock

speckled paper from Birthday Wishes paper pad

black, brown, yellow, and cream cardstock

yellow ribbon

wiggly eyes

My husband's 40th birthday was the other day ~ we are only 10 days apart and he loves to make jokes during that time. I knew he did not want a "cutesy" card, so...I turned to the 40's quote site.

The boys are camping this weekend, so my goal is to make cards, do some blog hops if there are any, and visit as many crafty friends I can. I will be by soon!

Enjoy your day,

Georgiana
