Now.... here are my creations- eek! First up, is my card using Sock Monkey Surprise & matching Sock Monkey Surprise dies designed by the fabulous Kimberly Wiener!
Isn't this set so cute!!!! So playful and perfectly fun. It is ideal for paper piecing. I used some Simple Stories paper with hearts for the belly and kite. It reminds me of my daughter's sock monkey. The Avery Elle Scalloped Frame dies are perfect around the outside. Some Basic Grey enamel dots and timeless twine make the perfect finishing touches.
Next up, you'll see my card featuring the new Sunshine Word die by amazing Julie Ebersole. It also includes the Stay Golden set and Stay Golden dies.
With black paper as the base of this creation, I needed something bright to pop off the page. So I chose to use the Stay Golden stamps and dies. I used the rock & roll technique to pick up some yellow orange and a little pink for my pineapple. I love the way the colors turned out, the perfect platform for the Sunshine Word dies. I doubled layered these for extra impact. Some washi, twine and more enamel dots finished it off.
OK, please head over to Heather Campbell's blog next for more inspiration! Thank you for visiting me today!

Such fun cards!!! That sock monkey is super cute
Adorable and such fun cards
Your black background for the pineapple card really makes it stand out beautifully! So impressive, thanks for sharing the cards you made!
Nice cards! The edge stitch dies are so cool, and the entire release is great!
I really want to do some cards with dark colors, along the the lines of what you did with your beautiful pineapple card. The boldness of the contrasts is very appealing. I want to remember two things you've done here. The first is the way you put the pizzazz into 'sunshine' by adding the pop of color – what a difference that makes! The second bit of inspiration is the twine over the washi tape – I'm loving that! I have an abundance of twine and washi tape, but I don't use them as much as I'd like to. I can't wait to give this a try – thanks so much for the inspiration!
Thank you for this chance to win and your inspiration!
Just love how you used the sock monkey and your glittery pineapple is gorgeous!!
This sock monkey card is so bright & happy! Love it!
That is such a fun sock monkey. Love the bright colors!
Katie, your cards are so cute. I have to admit the monkey card w/ the kite is spectacular. His cute heart and matching kite is cute. I have made several sewn sock monkeys so they tend to me a fav of mine lol
