Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Oh Happy Day stamp set.Mama Elephant-Oh Happy DayFor the background I smooshed distress oxide inks using Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade.

I die cut the frame onto white glitter cardstock and backed it with acetate. Then I filled the shaker with iridescent stars, hearts & silver star confetti.

Layton’s Legacy Card Drive & Fundraiser Blog Hop

May 8, 2018

Hello there! Today I’m honored to be a part of a very special blog hop hosted by Lea Lawson. This hop is in honor of her sweet son, Layton Caleb. You can read more about Lea’s story here. SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyI’ve created a card inspired by the moodboard below. I absolutely love the rustic, modern feel to this moodboard and what makes it even more special is the fact that it was Layton’s nursery moodboard.

I used the Picture Book Love Bear with rustic cream & white cardstock. I used Copics to add color to the hearts, eyes & nose. I also used the Picture Book Sky die with aqua & white cardstock, popping up the clouds for added dimension. I used a small triangle from the Live Well stamp set along with Barely Beige ink to stamp subtle triangles on the background. SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyFor the sentiment I used the Simple Sentiments No.1 stamp set and embossed it in white onto Smoke cardstock. I used one of the Tilted Banner dies to die cut the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape.SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyYou can find out several different ways to join along, whether you choose to donate, share, shop or even create. The details can all be found on Lea’s blog.

We have a huge Card Drive blog hop going on in Layton’s honor, with tons of amazing inspiration! We also have a fundraising effort, where every $5 donated gets you an entry into the prize drawing. There are over $2000 in prizes, sponsored by some of the most amazing stamping & papercrafting companies in the industry! {You can also see all the prizes HERE.}
