CHRISTMAS MONKEYS

I had a lot of fun making my Christmas Card this week with the Little Monkey's Bundle.  Since the monkeys are so cute and happy, I thought one of them needed to be Santa Clause.  Wouldn't he make the kids laugh?


I stamped a "normal" monkey and then I stamped him again on Poppy Parade cardstock to make his Santa Suit.  I just cut off the Poppy Parade head, hands and feet.  I dressed up his suit with some tiny strips of Basic White cardstock and found a retired Hat to complete his outfit.


The designer series paper (DSP) that I used on my card is from the Merry Bold & Bright DSP collection.  I thought this colorful paper worked well for a happy little monkey Santa Claus.

I even fussy cut a short string of the lights from the paper to decorate Santa's Branch for Christmas.


For the sentiments I did some masking.  On the front of the card I used only the top line of the sentiment.


On the inside I used my Black Stampin' Write marker to ink only the "TO SAY" portion of the sentiment.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set.
