Spring Birgitta

For my card I have used the lovely Birgitta, one of the Swiss Pixies from CC- Designs

She is coloured with fresh and bright Copic colours and I've used a selection of the Paper Mania 'Rose Garden' papers.

Thanks for looking :)

Pure Innocence Preorders

We have finally given in to your requests and opened our next batch of Pure Innocence stamps on preorder. We expect the stamps to arrive during the week commencing 5th April so if you want to bagsy your favorite you will have to hurry. Our Pure Innocence cuties can be found here

Some of the preorders have already been snapped up by those who have been hovering and waiting for them but we will have another batch leaving the US on 7th April when the gorgeous April stamps are released (you will just have to take our word for how gorgeous they are as we are sworn to secrecy until release day)

CC Designs and TGF restocks

We finally have the gorgeous CC design releases in stock and ready for dispatch.

You can check them out either in our CC designs section or in our What's new section

We also have restocks of The Greeting Farm, including the Happy Day set that disappeared in minutes last time! Grab them while they last here

PI ~ you make the grade A+

Oh, yes, it's another PI girlie, I just love them (and little birdie tells me there are more new ones on there way so best keep your eyes peeled)  This time I've used this cutie, 'you make the grade'.  Think she is fabulous for exam cards, teachers' cards or even general card for that 'A+' person in your life! :)

She's been stamped out 4 times and then cut out various bits before layering her up with foam pads. (see photos below for better view of the layering & depth).

The apple shaped cardbase was just hand drawn by me and cut out by hand, then covered in DP and added a little green stalk on top.  It opens upwards so it's hinged at the top, either side of the stalk.

Here are some shots from the side to show you the layers;

Thanks for looking.

Basket of eggs

Oh, look, it's another PI girlie, what a surprise!  but at least I've coloured her ALL in (with Copics), and not done any paper piercing this time ;)   I think she would make an 'egg-cellent' card for other occasions too (sorry, couldn't help myself!) depending on the sentiment you used with her.  I think she's out of stock (told you they'd go quick!) but I'm sure if you asked nicely they can be restocked ;)

Thanks for looking.  Hope you all have a cracking good weekend ;D (egg shell - cracking, get it?!)

PI ~ Fairy Girl

Oooo, I'm loving these Pure Innocence cuties and it seems you are too, as quite a few have sold out already, so you best be quick.

Here's one using 'Fairy Girl'. 

Bit of paperpiercing for her dress again (can't seem to stop doing that with these :) ), a touch of colouring with Copics and stickles added for glittery wings and wand, some pretty dp and gems and job done.  Wanted to keep it simple & sweet.  The fab little sentiment is 1 of 2 included in the set and because they are clear stamps I can bend it on my acrylic block to stamp so that it creates the wavy writing.

Thanks for looking and hope you manage to get the ones you want before they fly out the door.

Pure Innocence

We have even more gorgeous new arrivals here at Silly Monkey Crafts and this time in the shape of the adorable stamps by Pure Innocence.

Fran has already been busy with these yummy stamps and I am sure you'll agree that her card is beyond fabulous.

I am confident that these stamps will prove to be a huge hit so rush make sure you grab yours quickly to avoid missing out.

Party Girls

'Party Emma' and 'Ballon Emma' all dressed up (or should that be all paper pierced up) ready to par-tay!

The cutie sitting down in front is raised on foam pads which you might be able to see on the photo below

The bits that aren't paper pierced have been coloured with Copics and stickles added to the bows in her hair.

Thanks for looking.

Here's Ebony all rock chick with pink hair :)  You can go grab her here along with the other stamps from TGF.  I've coloured her with Copics and for added sparkle to her hair you could use the clear atyou spica pen.  The dots around the scallop frame were made with stickles.

Thanks for looking & happy shopping :)
