Hello, crafty friends! Rachel here today and I am so excited to be joining the wonderful talent on the
Sunny Studio Stamps Creative Team! I have a fun shadow box card to share
with you featuring the new and adorable Love Monkey Stamp Set.
Aren't these monkeys just the
cutest? They're perfect for Valentine's Day or pretty much any other
occasion during the year depending on how you decide to color them. To
start, I stamped my images with Copic friendly black ink onto a sheet of Neenah
Solar White 110lb card stock. I then colored the images with Copic Sketch markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
(Copic Makers used: Monkey Bodies: E30, E31,
E23, E27, E49; Monkey Faces: E0000, E000, E21, E11, E04; Branches: E30, E31,
E23, E27, E29; Copic Colored Leaves: G20, YG01, YG13, YG17, G28; Pink Hearts:
RV0000, RV00, RV52, RV55; Red Heart: R05, R27, R46, R59, RV99)
To create my shadow box, I
simply cut two pieces of white card stock to 4.25" x 7" and scored
each piece at 1.5" and 5.5". I folded my paper along the score
lines and used these two pieces as the outer portion of my box. I then die cut
a circular window in one of the pieces for the front of my card. For the
inner shelves, I trimmed two pieces of white card stock to 4.25" x
4.75" and scored them each at 3/8" and 4 3/8". Once done
with this part, I die cut a circle window into each piece to line up with the
one that I made for the front of the card. This helps to create depth and
an easy way to attach your images from all angles inside of your card.
To create the large leafy
greenery throughout the card, I used the gorgeous Botanical Backdrop Die and die cut it a few times on some green card stock. I then trimmed off a few of the green leaves in small
sections and blended them with some Distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Crushed Olive,
and Peeled Paint). I then glued these to the back of each window section
to add some more depth and look as if the monkeys were hanging out in the
trees. I also added a piece of patterned pink paper from the new Flirty Flowers 6x6 Paper Pad to the very back section of my card.
Lastly, I adhered a
couple of the monkeys, the vines, and the tree branch to the inside of my card
with some liquid adhesive. I attached the last monkey to the outside of
my card with some 3D foam adhesive squares. I then heat embossed my
sentiment with Fine Detail white embossing powder onto some black card stock.
Thank you so much for
dropping by! I hope you enjoyed my card today! Wishing you all a
wonderful weekend and see you next week!

Hello everyone! Lexa here
today with a card featuring the brand new stamp set and the coordinating dies
that called Love Monkey. And yes, there are so much to love about
this new stamps! Those adorable little cheeky faces that will be what you need
for everyday cards and Valentine's. Other than that, I also use the super
fun Staggered Circle dies on this card. I'm swooning over this
new release.
First,
I cut the circles using the Staggered Circle dies and blended
some colorful Distress Inks on each circles. Then I stamped the polka dots
background using Background Basic Stamps. I stamped all the images
using Versafine black ink on the watercolor paper. After that, I use my
Distress Markers to color each images and run them through die cutting machine.
I think Sunny Studio has one of the best coordinating dies, they're perfectly
line up on each images, sharp and those thin white line is just so satisfying.
The
most fun part is always arranging every images to the scene. I adhere them
using foam tapes to create some dimensions. I choose happy colors for this
birthday card. I hope it will bright up one's day!
Thank you so much for stopping
by today. I hope you enjoy today's post and have a great day!
