Monkey Business Birthday - Stampin' Up! Catch You Later

 Just a quick share today to show a fun birthday card.  I'm getting ready for my monthly class so there is lots of activity to get set up to stamp with 2 different groups.

 The Catch You Later set caught my eye in the mini catalog because of the cute animals.  I wanted a casual, non-floral set to be able to color.  

   I used not only the new Catch You Later set but also the new embossing folder Stripes & Splatters.  For this card I used the stripes one on the Crumb Cake strip at the top of the card.  The DSP is also new and you can earn it for free during Sale-a-Bration.  The Friendly Hello DSP is a lot of floral patterns but also has this great leafy design in Granny Apple Green.

  The monkeys are stamped in Memento and colored with Stampin' Blends markers and then die cut in a circle.

  I cut a few leaf sprigs in Garden Green with the Forever Flourishing dies and topped that with the sentiment stamped on a piece of Balmy Blue.  A few bright green sequins finish off the details on this quick and easy birthday card.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
