Little Monkey Agenda

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Don't we all love the cute stamps in the Little Agenda series by Mama Elephant? On today's cards I used the Little Monkey Agenda.

There are A LOT of stamps in these sets but they are quite tiny. Sometimes I struggle to put them to good usebecause of their seize. That's where Lawn Fawn's Mini Picture Frames come in handy. They are perfect to give the cute monkeys a stage without stealing the show.

I started by stamping the monkeys, colouring them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them (there are coordinating dies available, too). They are fast and easy to colour because of their size.

Then I die cut three square frames for the one card and three circle frames for the other card using the  Mini Picture Frames dies. I used the same cardstock as for the card base for the die cuts to keep it sublte and the momkeys the stars of the show - or the card.

Before I glued everything down I stamped the sentiments on the card base. For this I used Mama Elephant's Wishful Taggins. There are a lot of Christmas Sentiments in this set but also some sentments you can use all year round.

To assemble the cards I adhered the frames and the monkeys using dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.

From The Whole Herd

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Oh my goodness, have you seen the latest Lawn Fawn Release? So many cute new products. It was so hard to decide what to buy or not to buy! In the end I bought more than I didn't bought... Well, I am not strong enough for those cute critters!
And one of my favorite sets of this release is the set called Hay There! I had to use nearly every image in this set. So be warned - there are MANY photos ahead. I would say I am soryy but I am not because I HAD to show you all these super cute animals in the detail.

I started by stamping all these animals from the set with my new favourite ink: My Favorite Things' Extreme Black Hybrid Ink. I coloured the images with alchol marker and fussy cut them right to the edge. That was the moment when I realized that there were way too much critters for one card. So I made two cards.

My second favourite product of the release were Lawn Fawn's Mini Picture Frames. These scalloped frames with the stitched details - so awesome! And there are various ways to hang up your images - that is soooo cute.

I die cut the frames from kraft, the inner parts from white and the "nails" from silver cardstock. To the background I added a little bit of ink blending to achieve the illusion of a springy blue sky.

Then I framed all the animals arranged them on my card bases and added the same sentiment to both of them. I chose one from the Hay There set - there a lot of pun sentiments -, embossed it in white on a stripe of cardstock and cut it into pieces that would go with the layout of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a crafty weekend!
