Here are the swaps from our weSTAMP get together this month. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS in the previous post to see the fun PARTY we had! :)

The theme for this month was using punches as the focal point of the card. I LOVE what the gals came up with this month!!!

If you remember my "Sweet Scoops" card (found HERE), you can see I used the same folding technique for this card. The punched monkey part of this card I found on Stampers Showcase, which is a website available to Stampin' Up demonstrators. That's why I can't put a link here, but her name was Nicole Papolio. She was so sweet to email me the sizes of all the punches she used on her monkey.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: On Your Birthday, Tropical Party

Paper: Whisper White, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Basic Black

Accessories: Straw, Dimensionals, Brads, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, LOTS of punches! Here they all are:

Head: 1 3/8", 1"

Ears: 1/2", 1/4"

Mouth: Small Oval (used that for the lips, too, just punch it twice close to each other, then nip off ends when you layer it on the other oval). Put a dimensional on his mouth to make it pop from his face.

Last but not least, Linda B. made this AWESOME door prize! I wanted to win it SO BAD because I thought it would make an awesome tote for my swaps at Convention this year! Melissa was the lucky winner.
