Sunday October 12th 2-4pm

Please RSVP by October 5th

If you'd love for your child to have their own stampin stuff you can also buy this as a "class to go" for $40 you get the sock monkey stamp set, pack of white note cards and envelopes and a black stamp pad. (they can use their own markers to color). This would also make a great gift!!

How cute is this monkey??

Here is a card using lots of new stuff. To make the monkey I stamped him using chocolate chip ink on whisper white cardstock, then I stamped him again onto so saffron dsp. I cut out the body of the monkey from the dsp and adhered it to the whisper white cardstock using liquid glue. Then I colored the rest of the monkey in with markers. This techniques is called Paper Piecing. I think it works really well with the monkey. I used the scalloped edge punch on the so saffron dsp on the edge. The chocolate ribbon is a scrap that was lying on my table, it wasn't long enough to tie around the chocolate cardstock so I just tied it into a knot and used a glue dot to put it where I wanted it.

I'm in love with the Sock Monkey

I was playing with some of my new stamps (one of the perks of being a demo is that you get to preorder some of the new stuff!!) and I've discovered that I love this little monkey. You have to know that I had my own sock monkey as a child, and a few years ago I made sock monkeys for my nieces and nephews for Christmas (7 total). So I had an immediate fondness for this image. One of the things that I love about it is that in the new catalog there is an accessories stamp set. You can put Easter bunny ears or a Santa hat on the monkey. How fun!!!!

The two samples show here use a retired designer paper (I don't remember what it was called). The top card I used paper piecing technique. Which basically means that I stamped the monkey on the kraft cardstock, then I stamped the monkey on the patterned paper. Then I cut the patterned paper and glued it on the monkey where I wanted it. This creates a great look, but I don't really love cutting so I don't use it very often. Of course I used my paper snips, without those I don't think I would even attempt this technique (or maybe I'm just getting spoiled with my tools).

The second sample I colored the monkey in with markers. Then I stamped the cupcake on a scrap of whisper white, colored and cut it out. I adhered it with a stampin' dimensional.
