This month the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is The Great Outdoors! I started with a 5 x 7 card base and decorated it with the Tropical Scene and Outdoor Scenes dies. The sentiment is a new Stampin Up set called Stitched All Around and is backed with the new KB Rectangle Cross Hatch dies. The little monkey is from Mama Elephant’s Little Monkey Agenda.
Inside I used both the Kb Palm Tree and new Tent pop ups! And lots of monkeys! It’s easy to combine both these dies on this size card. You just need to make sure they don’t catch on each other as they open and close.
Some of the monkeys are attached directly to the tent and tree and others are glued to the Baker’s twine. This is done by die cutting 2 monkeys and sandwiching them between the twine.
I attached two small Palm trees by using the extra piece in the Tent Pop Up die. I just attached these to the base of the Palm Tree. This was a fun card to make. Check out the other designers now and see Karen’s challenge card on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran
