Today I'm sharing two cards showcasing the super cute Little Monkey Agenda and the Swinging Borders stamp sets from the new April release. 

I stamped the images from Little Monkey Agenda with Copic friendly brown ink and colored them with Copic markers. After, I cut them out with the Little Monkey Agenda Creative Cuts. 

To make the front panel, I trimmed white cardstock little smaller than A2 size and stamped the leafy vines from the Swinging Borders stamp set using green dye ink. I stamped the sentiment from Scripty Bday with brown ink. I die-cut the upper center of the panel with the Dashed Circle from the Framed Tag Columbus Circle Creative Cuts as shown.

For the background panel, I trimmed white cardstock to the same size as the front panel and inked the upper center with the same ink that I used to stamp the leaves so that the colors will match. Then, I adhered the panel to an A2 sized green cardstock.

I foam mounted the front panel on top of the background panel. Then, I added a die-cut box I made using All Prettied Up Creative Cuts and adhered it to the inside the circle opening. 

To finish, I adhered the monkeys with double sided tape or foam tape to the card front as shown. 

For my second card, I stamped the images again from Little Monkey Agenda and stamped them with Copic friendly brown ink. I colored it with Copics and fussy cut them out. After, I went over the cut edges with dark brown Copic marker. 

To make the front panel, I trimmed Bristol paper to an A2 size and stamped the leafy vines from the Swinging Borders set using black ink. I ink blended the entire panel with Distress Oxides using Cracked Pistachios, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers. After, I colored in leafy vines with shades of green Prismacolor pencils.

To finish, I foam mounted the white frame that was die-cut using the Frame Tags Madison Avenue Creative Cuts onto the front panel and foam mounted the monkeys as shown.
