This is my third and final card from my June Stamp Camp. We made this "monkey" by using the Scallop Circle die in the Big Shot by folding a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock in half and cutting it out (just make sure to keep the fold below the cutting marks). The facial features are made from the following punches or dies: The "muzzle" is made from the largest of the ovals on the "Ovals" die (just cut off the top ½"), the eyes are made using the 1 5/8" circle punch in Creamy Caramel, then the "whites" are made using the 1 3/8" punch and the "irises" are made using the 1" punch on black cardstock. The pupils are made using a white gel pen.
The "ears" are made by using a 1" punch of Creamy Caramel cut in half (actually I trimmed then down about 1/8" to look more like ears). The mouth is the widest punch on the 3 hearts punch. Don't forget to add white gel ink to the mouth and ears too! Then if your monkey is a "girl monkey" add a simple bow. We added a piece of Creamy Caramel cardstock to the inside to be able to write the greeting. This was so much fun! Even my almost 3 year-old Great-Nephew, William (with a little help), made one while visiting over the 4th of July holiday! Next time you need a cute birthday card for a child or fun-loving adult, I hope you'll think of this monkey!
