I created my card for this hop using Waffleflower's adorable monkey stamps! The monkey on the left is from the Willy set and the monkey on the right is from the Faye set. I colored the images using Copic markers and Wink of Stella. I added them to the card front using dimensional adhesive, and added a Santa hat to each from another stamp set that I own. After die cutting some snowflakes and adding gems and twine and a "joy" diecut, I placed the entire front card panel atop an invitation sized card with rounded corners. So quick and easy, but so very fun!
