Hello! I’m back again with Mama Elephant highlighting the Pretty Lovely stamp set.
To begin I adhered several strips of cardstock onto a small panel and then I embossed the bloom image from Pretty Lovely in white onto the stripes.
Using the Mini MISTI I stamped the sentiment onto the panel and onto the cardbase and then popped up the striped panel finishing it off with sparkling clear sequins.
You can see more amazing inspiration using this set over on the Mama Elephant blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Fly With Me
January 22, 2018Hi 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.

Mama Elephant-January Stampede
January 15, 2018
Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

I’ve created a couple of projects from the new January release. My first card features the Pretty Lovely stamp set.
I stamped the bloom with Memento ink and colored it with Copics adding details with a white Gelly Roll pen and some shimmer with Wink of Stella. Then I used an oval die to frame the sentiment.

How adorable is that sweet little puppy face? I created the bag using the Favor Bag die and added the cute little sentiment from the Occasional Labels set.

Mama Elephant-November Stampede
November 15, 2017
Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

I’ve created three gift card holders featuring the new Stitched Gift Tag-Creative Cuts.
I had so much fun embellishing these little puppies! Can you tell, ha ha!
For the base of each tag I used patten paper by Pinkfresh Studio. I embossed a sentiment from the Girlfriends stamp set on each of the little tags.
I used a fun mix of textures on the bows and added some jewel brads & gems that I’ve been hoarding for years. I had to raid my house to find some half-decent looking gift cards. Subway wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but oh well:)
So Hobby Lobby had their ribbons & trims half-off this week and mama got a bit carried away:) I’m in LOVE with the sequin ribbon, mini white pom-pom trim & chunky gold glitter ribbon. I was trying to channel my inner Rebecca Luminarias on these. I adore every single thing she makes.
To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is picking 3 winners to win their choice of stamp set! Winners will be chosen at random from the collective blogs in the Stampede. You have up to 4 chances to qualify to win!

Mama Elephant-On the Hills
October 27, 2017Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the new On the Hills Creative Cuts.
To begin I blended distress inks onto the background using Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch.The I die cut two of the clouds into may blended background and popped the panel onto a white card base.
I die cut the houses & trees and blended distress inks onto them as well for color and tucked them in behind the hills.
For the sentiment I used the “hello” word die that is included in the On the Hills set and stacked several together using spray adhesive. I topped it off with one that had been cut from glittered cardstock.
Nothing better than a row of rainbow houses to brighten your day, right? Thanks so much for stopping by!
