Stampin' Up! meets the Cricut!





Today's project is one of 15 Thank You cards that I made for my daughter, Lauren. She plans on sending these to the folks who gave my grandson birthday gifts. Since his birthday theme was Monkeys and his colors were Orange, this is what I put together for her. I hope she likes them!

I have not used my CRICUT in quite a while and it was so much
 fun to cut this cute little guy out. A little time consuming putting all 3 layers together, but I loved the outcome. I know I will be using my
machine more often in the coming months.

Other then the assembling of the monkey, this is fairly quick to put together.
You could use one of Stampin' Up!'s die cuts to make the process 
go together a little quicker. There are so many to choose from.

Have a great, blessed and CRAFTY day!

Gee, thanks


HAPPY MONDAY!

My card today is using a stamp set I ordered quite awhile ago and have not used 
until making this card! Have you had stamps just laying around 
in their cute little box all alone and waiting to be inked up? 

I don't do it very often, but this particular stamp, Gorgeous Grunge  130517  
 was intimidating to me. I looked online for samples and
 how others incorporated it into their design. 

I finally felt comfortable enough to go ahead and 
use it after viewing many samples. So here it is. What do you think?
Was I successful in pulling it off?
