A new little monkey is on his way!

Just meshin' around again! Got that baby shower coming up and a centerpiece was needed!  Here it is... Lime green deco mesh and a couple fun blue patterned ribbons make the wreath/centerpiece. Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the same monkey used on the invitation, only a smidge larger. The image for the monkey came from the Silhouette online store, where you can purchase the file and then use it in the cutting program. So much fun...  and after the shower, mommy can hang the wreath in her home... or  even on the hospital door to announce her little monkey's arrival!

 

Simply Sent!

Love this Simply Sent card kit!
 I have been wanting to make this card since the 2014 catalog came out! The stamp set, Million & One #126377 and the card kit, Simply Fabulous, #126925 can be found
in the 2014 catalog on pg.161.  
The kit comes with the intricate laser- cut card layer, envelopes and trims. Made it into a quick birthday card by layering the lace layer over a Pistachio Pudding card base!  So quick and easy. Love having the Simply Sent card kits on hand! They come 8 cards to a set which make it so easy to grab and quickly have just what you need to celebrate any occasion!
The envelopes are included- 4 Smokey Slate and 4 Pistachio Pudding! Great color combo... Add some silver ink...#132142 and you have a beautiful card with minimal fuss!

 Today I am posting a card I made yesterday as I was spending time with some of the new Stampin'Up products and a few of the old ones too! The idea came from a card posted by Becky Roberts... Love it Becky!
The base of the card is made using the new  Scallop Tag punch #133324!  The sentiment is from the stamp set Perfect Pennants #133230.
Designer paper from Sale-a-bration is trimmed to fit outside and inside! But of course I had to use my favorite little Tea Lace paper doilies #129399!  Also used the Banner framelits dies #132173. This card was one of those cards that make you think ... yes, a different style instead of the same ole, same ole A2 size card! Very fun to make I would say.
 The inside sentiment is one from the set Really Good Greetings #130333 from the Regular 2014 catalog...
