Hi there! Today I’m sharing this fun project on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Flip Slider Creative Cuts.
For this card I used the Yappy Woofmas stamp set for the images as well as the coordinating Yappy Woofmas Creative Cuts.
For the sentiment I used the Oh Joy Halo Script Creative Cuts.
For the background I used the Galactic Cover. On the inside of the pull tab I stamped a “surprise” sentiment from Meowy Woofmas.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Papertrey Ink to promote their latest Make It Market Kit, “Fairy Tale Christmas” which will be released tomorrow, October 1st.
This first card features the Fairy Tale Christmas Stamp Set & Die Collection. I also used a piece of the Fairy Tale Christmas Patterned Paper Collection for the background.
I created a couple of matchbox book boxed using the Fairy Tale Christmas Die Collection.
I used the Fairy Tale Christmas Patterned Paper Collection that can be die cut with the coordinating dies.
I also added a few of the Miniature Mushrooms & Fairy Lights. These are so much fun!!!
This next matchbox book box features more pattern paper along with one of the Small Bubbles to make a fun shaker on the front.
Both of these boxes have magnetic closures. The tiny magnets along with the pretty sequins are all included in the Fairy Tale Christmas Trimmings kit.
These are so cute to put a gift card in.

Sunny Studio Stamps 3rd Birthday Blog Hop
September 28, 2018
Hi there! Today I’m joining Sunny Studio Stamps for a birthday blog hop. They are celebrating 3 years! Happy Birthday Sunny Studios!
I have a couple of projects to share featuring a few of their new products. My first card features the Alpaca Holiday set.
How about that rainbow scarf, eh? LOVE! For the background I blended oxides onto Bristol paper and colored the images with Copics.
This next card features the Sweater Vest dies. You know how I love a good shape card. Here’s a festive one for those holiday gents in your life:)
To begin I blended oxides in Twisted Citron & Lucky Clover onto white cardsock. Then I die cut the panel using the Sweater Vest dies. Then I ran it through using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder, which gave this awesome texture. I blended a little bit more over top of the embossing for more detail. I die cut the rest of the pieces including the v-neck, collar, bow tie and waistband. I completely forgot to snap a pick of the inside of the card where I stamped a holiday sentiment. Oh well, just imagine it. It’s really cute, ha!
Check out the graphic below for a special birthday discount!

Limited Edition STAMPtember® Card Kit
September 27, 2018
The Limited Edition STAMPtember® Card Kit and it is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve created a few card using some of the contents starting with this super cute Preztel die. 
I die cut the pretzel and blended it with Scattered Straw & Vintage Photo. Then I took a white gel pen to add the dots for salt. I blended Blueprint Sketch & Mermaid Lagoon on the background and embossed a sentiment from the I Chews You stamp set that is also included in the kit.
This next little card uses the No Prob Llama Doodle Pop 3D Stickers by Doodlebug Design. There are three of these sweet sticker sets included in the kit.
I blended Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade onto the background and simply popped the sticker onto the card. How sweet is this Llama with the glossy nose? This is a small little lunch note or gift card size.
One last card using the gumball machine image from the I Chews You stamp set.
I colored the image with Copics, adding some highlights with a gel pen. I die cut a circle window opening to frame the image onto Island Blue cardstock and embossed a sentiment, also from I Chews You.

Mama Elephant-Joy Ornaments
September 26, 2018
Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Joy Ornaments set.
To create this card I die cut the letters into a white panel. I popped up the panel over colored cardstock, embossing the letters in white in the die cut openings. Then I stamped the ornament string and coordinating sentiment. I also added a decorative embossed detail in the center of the “o” that was die cut using a circle die.

Mama Elephant-Little Snowman Agenda
September 24, 2018Hi there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as they highlight the adorable Little Snowman Agenda set.
For the sentiment I used the new Color Me Letters set embossed in white onto Island Blue cardstock. I replaced the “o” in snow & love with adorable snowmen from the Little Snowman Agenda set. This Color Me Letters set is a not yet release set, but is free with a qualifying purchase. You can find out more about this promotion HERE.
I “really” thought I was being creative with this card until I saw Kryssi’s HERE. How did that happen, lol?! We must be on the same wavelength, I guess. Has this ever happened to you? Check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more Little Snowman Agenda.
I’ve got a winner to announce from my Pinkfresh Studio giveaway.
Congratulation Patt H.!!
