Written overview
Stamp the monkeys from the Catch you Later stamp set in Early Espresso on the Very Vanilla piece. Also stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla. Color the monkeys with blends markers after the image is completely dry. Set aside. Punch out the sentiment and then punch a piece of Just Jade and Early Espresso. Cut these in half lengthwise and attach them behind the sentiment to frame it. Attach the 3 1/8 x 1¼” piece of Just Jade cardstock to the top of the notepad to cover the binding. Wrap it around to the back of the notepad. Once this is done, attach the notepad to the base. Decorate the front by layering the monkeys onto Just Jade and onto Early Espresso. Attach ribbon and sentiment and you’re done!
