Mama Elephant-Poppy Flowers

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Poppy Flower stamp set.

Mama Elephant-Poppy Flowers

I embossed the poppies in clear and blended Tutti Frutti & Plumberry ink for the color. I created a jar by die cutting the Jar Shaker-Creative Cut with some vellum. The background is some older Pinkfresh Studio-Escape the Ordinary patter paper.

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals, Oval Foliage & Joyful Day Puffy Phrases Stickers

Hi there! Today I’m sharing these two fun projects over on the Pinkfresh Studio YouTube channel featuring the Inked Florals stamp set.

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals, Oval Foliage

For this first card I stamped the floral outlines from Inked Florals with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped the solid floral blooms using Mama Elephant pigment inks. I added a sentiment from Oval Foliage and framed the design using pattern paper from the Joyful Day collection.

Pinkfresh Studio-Inked Florals & Joyful Day Puffy Phrases Stickers

For this next card I embossed all of the floral outline images in clear from Inked Florals in clear and blended over using distress inks. For the sentiment I used one of the fun Puffy Phrases Stickers from the Joyful Day collection along with a coordinating stamped sentiment from Let’s Flamingle.

Little Chickie Agenda

Hi there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as they highlight the adorable new Little Chickie Agenda set.

Mama Elephant-Little Chickie Agenda & Gatefold X Fence-Creative Cut

To begin I used the Circular Grid-Creative Cut to die cut a panel. I trimmed the panel into a square and popped it up over Ivory cardstock. Then I used the Gatefold X Fence-Creative Cuts to make the sweet picket fence closures.

Mama Elephant-Little Chickie Agenda & Gatefold X Fence-Creative Cut

I added images from the adorable Little Chickie Agenda set to the inside of the card. For the bubble word sentiment I used the Everyday Greeting stamp set, and for the front of the card I used a sentiment from Hello Friend Wishes.

Hi there! Have you seen the awesome new March 2019 Card Kit, Lucky Rainbow? It is right up my rainbowlicious alley!!!

Simon Says Stamp-March 2019 Card Kit

My first card features the Amazing stamp set included in the kit. I am so giddy about this card because it’s been far to long since I’ve made a one-layer wonder, and I gotta say, it feels darn good.

Simon Says Stamp-March 2019 Card Kit-Amazing

I used Mama Elephant pigment inks for this, keeping it very clean and simple and stamping a bold black sentiment from the Amazing set.

Pop-Up Record Player

Hi there! Today I have a fun Pop-Up Record Player card to share with you. I was so inspired by what Anna Lorenzetto made with the Turntable Die-namics. I just had to try and make one.

MFT-Turntable Die-namics

I trimmed a piece of Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper to 4″ x 12″. Then I scored the strip at 4″, 7 1/2″, 8″ and 11 1/2″ to make the pop-up record player card base. I die cut the Turntable pieces with solid & metallic silver cardstock. This is THE perfect card for my teen girls. They are loving the vintage record player rage right now!

MFT-Turntable Die-namics

For the front of the card I used the Party Penguins stamps & dies. I stamped the images with several Atlenew inks. They stamp so crisp!

MFT-Party Penguins

I added embossed sentiments to the front and inside of the card using the For the Record stamp set.

MFT-Party Penguins

Here’s a video to show you how I created this fun pop-up card.

For the record, I’m in love with this card and hope you enjoyed it, too! Make sure and check out the awesome new February release by My Favorite Things. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love Bear Thanks
