Dies R Us - Hang In There!

Hello Dear Friends!!
Today I'm  sharing a quick, fun creation of encouragement.
There are SO MANY amazing dies at the Dies R Us Store and lately I've fallen in love with all the 'critter' type dies.  I have so many friends that request cards made with animals so I rummaged through the store and added a number of different animal dies to my cart that you will no doubt be seeing in the weeks to come.

Today I'm using this adorable monkey named JINKS!


I've actually used three dies for today's inspiration piece . . .

Die-Namites 'Fancy Birdhouses'  DN-1168 (unfortunately Out of Stock at the present time)
Sue Wilson Frames & Tags 'Stitched Flags' CED4317 (So sorry ... also Out of Stock)

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Jinks The Monkey

Thank goodness!!!  The star of the show is available!!
The dies come and go quickly so if you see something you want ... you'll not want to hesitate!


After getting 'Jinks' put together  ... so easy & fun ... I knew I needed a branch for him to hang from.  After looking through my dies I didn't seem to have a distinct branch for him to swing from!  Then a light bulb went off !!!  Why not use the branch from the beautiful 'Fancy Birdhouses' die ... so that's what I did!

Original die cut panel

Snip the birdhouses off (will use on another project or two) and Viola!  I have my branch!
For my background panel I simply sponged some blue ink over my card front.  My sentiment was computer generated in Word10 the die cut using one of the Sue Wilson Stitched Flag dies.
 Remember, each an every day of the month there's a new inspiration sample shared on the blog by this fabulous design team.  Please be sure to pop in regularly.
