Hello crafty friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I have two cards to share with you that showcase the adorable new Monkey Business Stamps and Jungle Vines Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps. I had so much fun making these cards with these products!
For my first card, I created a shadow box card that folds flat for shipping. This card measures at 5.5″ tall, 4.25″ wide, and 1.5″ deep. When folded flat, it can fit in a standard A8 envelope and measures 5.5″ tall and 5.75″ long. For the front window of this shadow box, I die cut a rounded stitched rectangle using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies.
For the inside of the card, I added a few hills of grass using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I die cut the grass pieces from white card stock and blended them with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. I also die cut my vines and foliage pieces from white card stock and used Copic Markers to give them some color and shading. For my monkeys, I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating Monkey Business Dies. For my background sky, I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.
Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment on black card stock using some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and glued it to the front strip of grass.
Copic Colors Used:
- Monkeys: E000, E00, E11, E04 (light areas); E43, E44, E47 (dark areas)
- Foliage: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67
- Tree Limbs: E31, E23, E25, E29
- Bananas: Y13, Y15, V12
I used the same Copic colors for my images on my second card as well as the Monkey Business Stamp Set and Dies. For my background, I used a beautiful piece of patterned paper from the Spring Fling Paper Pad. This pre-printed design makes it super easy to add some beautiful backgrounds without any fuss.
Once again, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and cut it out using my paper trimmer before adhering it to my card.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will give these products a closer look! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi, Sunny and Rachel – These are SOOOOO good! I love the dark sky color in the card on the first and the rays in the sky on the second card. They’re both glorious. What colors did you use on the sky in card #1? The monkeys are adorable and I really like these jungle vines.

You are so sweet, Lori; thank you! I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. It’s kind of interesting, but my ink panel didn’t look super dark when I blended it, but because it’s in the back of the shadow box card, the ink looks a lot darker since it’s shaded by the leaves and vines.
