I'm kicking of today with the adorable new Monkey Business stamp set. I'm.In.Love. This little guy and all the fun elements included in the set have stolen my heart! 

I started off with one of the newest Let's Celebrate-Quick Card Panels. The colors in this set are AWESOME! and the  prints are FABULOUS! 

Next I stamped and colored up my sweet little monkey and all his birthday fun and used the Monkey Business Confetti Cuts to cut them all out. I mounted them all on a large rounded square from Shakers 'n Frames Confetti Cuts. 

There are some new darling banner pieces releasing that you'll want to pop into your cart on May 8th. They are called Stitched Flag Trio. I embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder and then actually folded over the flag at the stitch marks to help hold it in place. 

I told you it was a party here this week. Up next is the new Party Hats stamps and Party Hats Confetti Cuts. I used the Shaker's 'n Frames again, but this time to make an actual shaker card.

 I did some watercolor smooshing in the background and filled up the frame with pretty sequins. I accented the frame with some silver twine and a Party Hat stamped in my ombre' inks. To add a little more sparkle, I ended up tucking in a couple rows of the cool new Star Garland Confetti Cut. 

Don't forget to help us celebrate Reverse Confetti's Birthday
