Let's Hang Out

Our Craft Lounge is releasing 4 brand new stamp sets this week. Today, the design team is having a blog hop to show off the new sets. You should have arrived here from Lori McAree's blog--if not and you want to start from the top, head over to the OCL blog. Be sure to leave a comment as you hop along since four lucky commenters will be selected to win some of the new sets! Winners will be chosen from among the comments left on all participating blogs and will be announced on Monday, June 6.

Here's a look at one of the brand new sets, Monkey Around. Isn't it a cute one?

My card uses this new set and is also made for this week’s OCL challenge to CASE another OCL creation. I picked this adorable baby card created by Tammie. It was a perfect way to show off one of the set’s monkeys dangling from the tree branch!

I colored the monkey and branch images with Copic markers and cut it them out. I stamped the monkey image a second time and colored just the head, cut it out, and attached it to the image with foam tape. After hanging the monkey’s tail from the tree branch, I used more foam tape to set the images on a dot embossed blue circle. I added a pair of die cut clouds, covered with some Sugar Sparkly Fluff. Love how this looks—I’ll definitely be doing that again!

I layered the image panel on a pink scalloped circle, then set it on a dot embossed kraft panel. I stamped the “let’s hang out” sentiment on white paper and cut out each word, then arranged it on the cardfront.

Now, hop on over to Pam Hooten for more OCL inspiration.
