Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their February Release Blog Hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Mindy Baxter’s blog.I have a couple of projects to share with you featuring some of the fabulous new February release products. This first card features my favorite new set called Trigonometry. I stamped the background using almost all of the delicious new inks, too! I used one of the Trigonometry dies to add the smaller triangles and embossed a sentiment from Crafty Life to finish it off. This next card showcases Birds of a Feather stamp set. I used the Trigonometry set for the background and added the bird, branch & sentiment from Birds of a Feather. Here’s a video to show you how I made these cards.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Repeating Circles die. I went a little wild & crazy with the Picture Book Monkey on this one. I just can’t resist a cute monkey:)You can see both projects along with a video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks for stopping by!
Hello again! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the fun Occasional Labels stamp set.I used the Could Nine-Creative Cuts to create this fun scene. For the background I used pattern paper by My Favorite Things. Who can resist rainbow raindrops?? I popped each one of those little suckers up with foam tape, too, cuz I like to torture myself, but I just couldn’t resist the dimension:) Lovin’ those sweet eyelashes on the cloud, too. I used a small paint brush to dap Blush ink for the cheek color. I realized that occasionally I need a super tiny ink blender for adding subtle check color. Any suggestions? To finish it off I added one of the fun sentiments from the Occasional Labels set. This set is so versatile and always looks great on any design. That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello friends! Love is in the air over at Simon Says Stamp💗 Their new LOVE release just went live and I couldn’t wait to share a couple of projects using some of my favorites with you. It’s no secret that I adore the Picture Book dies by Simon Says Stamp. There are getting to be quite a few now and I love every single one of them. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter…they did! The Picture Book Unicorn and Love Bear are completely irresistible. I used some Pebbles pattern papers from my January Card Kit along with one of the Nested Circle dies to frame the Picture Book cuties. I added an embossed sentiment from the Best Friends set. For the Picture Book Unicorn I used more Pebbles pattern paper and a sentiment from the CZ Design Yay set. For fun I added an embossed sentiment on the inside of the card also from the Yay set and die cut with one of the Nested Circle Dies. I’m so tempted to make about ten more of these unicorns in every color of the rainbow🌈 Not sure what it is about these sweet Picture Book Dies but they just make me smile! I’ve got a few more projects to share using more of the new LOVE release coming on Saturday so stay tuned for a fun blog hop!Check out the fun, new LOVE release below. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the adorable Fly With Me stamp & die set.To begin I masked off the background using post-it tape and blended in distress inks in mermaid lagoon & cracked pistachio. I also flicked a bit of mermaid lagoon using a wet brush. I stamped the images with Memento ink, colored them with Copics, die cut them with the coordinating dies and then popped them up with foam tape. Loving the sweet accessories that you can add such as the bow tie, ball cap and adorable little birdies. Visit the Mama Elephant blog to see more inspiration using this sweet new set.

Hi there! Today I have a couple of projects to share showcasing the gorgeous new March Card Kit-Choose Joy. This kit has TWO stamp sets included in it & gorgeous pattern papers & stickers💗
My first card features the adorable Showers & Flowers stamp set.
I used one of the cream card bases, included in the kit, along pattern paper by Carta Bella that I die cut with one of the Nested Circle dies. I stamped the images and colored them with Copics. To finish it off I added a white pom-pom to the bunny tail along with an embossed sentiment from Showers & Flowers.
This next card uses some of the beautiful stickers by Carta Bella that are included in the kit.
I layered the gingham & pink pattern papers by Carta Bella and popped up the stickers with foam tape for dimension. How gorgeous is that “hello”sticker? To finish it off I added some sparkling clear sequins.
