    Steps:

    1. Color the monkey stamp with the three different color markers as desired and stamp onto white card stock (figure A).

    2. Apply glue from the 2-way glue pen to different areas of the stamped image. Sprinkle with glitter and shake off excess (figure B).

    3. Cut a thin piece of green card stock and crimp (figure C). Adhere to the left side of the turquoise card.

    4. Mount the stamped monkey image to a piece of blue card stock.

    5. Adhere the monkey block to the card overlapping the crimped green card stock (figure D).

    6. Punch the right bottom corner of the card with the square punch.

    7. Stamp "Happy Birthday" to the left of the open square with blue ink.

    8. To make the gift card/cash pocket (figure E): Cut white vellum card stock to 3" x 6-3/4" and score into thirds. Taper outside folds by cutting on an angle and fold along dotted lines shown in the PDF Pattern.

    9. Punch a large green circle with the 1-1/4-inch circle punch. Turn it into a button by punching two holes in the center of the circle with the 1/8" circle punch (figure F).

    10. Lace "button" with royal grosgrain ribbon and tie around gift card envelope (see again figure E).

    11. Adhere to the inside of the card so that the "button" shows through the open square on the front of the card.
