This month we welcome the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue and with it comes five fresh, on-trend colours added to the Stampin' Up! palette.  These are called the 2023-2025 In Colors and one of those five is... PEBBLED PATH - a stony-grey neutral with subtle taupe undertones that is reminiscent of pewter.  Take a look at how this new hue compares with some of our familiar core colours...

I delved into some of the bright, new core colours from the colour refresh to pair with this lovely metallic hue to create a fun fold card featuring the cute Little Monkey Bundle...

Little Monkey Stamp Set + Little Monkey Builder Punch Bundle (photopolymer: 161379) - $82.75

This is not the first time I have created this card design.  I have previously used it for Valentine's Day with hearts and also with a cute cat, so why not a monkey?  I used Pebbled Path as a neutral base and stamped the sentiment across the top flap.  On the bottom flap, I added the oh, so cute Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.  This patterned paper inspired the colours that I used for spotlighting the monkey and branch, which has some of the new colour refresh hues.  The Stampin'  Blends I used were Pebbled Path and Lemon Lime Twist for the branch and Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie for the monkey... Mmm, pie (drool).

I love how this card opens!  I have stamped another monkey on the inside too...

You might think that these monkeys are for children, but I can think of a few adults that would appreciate this cute card too!
