Mama Elephant-Favor Bags

February 9, 2017

Hi there! Just popping in to share these cute little goodie bags I made the other day using the Favor Bag dies by Mama Elephant.
Mama Elephant-Favor BagsAren’t these fun?! I added a window using a heart die that comes in the Favor Bag die set. I couldn’t resist tucking a little raccoon in there from Rowdy Raccoon but you could add so many fun things to customize these bags.
Mama Elephant-Favor BagsTo finish is off I embossed a sentiment from Woodland Gifts on a banner that is also part of the Favor Bag set. These are so cute and perfect for little valentine favors, too! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Otterly Adorable

January 23, 2017

Hi there! Today I have a fun project to share featuring the Otterly Adorable set by Mama Elephant.Mama Elephant-Otterly AdorableFor the background, I stamped the waves and then created masks with post-it tape and blended Sunshine & Rainwater for the water and sky.
Mama Elephant-Otterly AdorableI love how the Otterly Adorable creative cuts allow you to tuck the otters in the water and add little accessories to their hands….or paws? I gave mine a nice glass of lemonade:)
Mama Elephant-Otterly AdorableThen I stamped a bunch of hearts from the set, colored them with Copics and stitched them on to create a colorful banner. I manipulated the sentiment to curve along with the stitched heart banner.
Mama Elephant-Otterly AdorableWishing you an “otterly” fantastic day:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Botanical Hello

January 20, 2017

Hi there! I’m back again with Mama Elephant highlighting the Botanical Hello stamp set.Mama Elephant-Botanical HelloI thought it would be fun to show the contrast of how this image looks when colored with two different mediums. The above card was embossed in clear onto watercolor cardstock and colored using Zig Clean Color Markers & the one below was colored with Copics. Such a fun comparison!
Mama Elephant-Botanical HelloThe Zig Clean Color Markers are super fun to color with. I took a light gray Copic marker and added a very subtle shadow along the inside of the “hello” just to make it a little easier to read.Mama Elephant-Botanical HelloI added a thin mat of black cardstock under the white panel to give it some contrast and popped it up onto a white card base.

Mama Elephant-Just a Note

January 18, 2017

Hello there! Today I’m joining Mama Elephant as they highlight the Just a Note stamp set along with the Zipper Creative Cut.Mama Elephant-Just a NoteTo create my card I first stamped the large Just a Note sentiment with Memento Tuxedo black ink. Then I embossed the Organic Blooms in clear on the corners of the panel. I stamped one more Organic Bloom onto scratch paper to create a mask that I layed over my embossed blooms and blended in several Mama Elephant pigment inks.
Mama Elephant-Just a NoteI also embossed a sentiment from Just a Note on my card base and die cut the Zipper Creative Cut in place so that you could reveal the secret message by “zipping” it open. So fun! To finish the card off I die cut the whole panel using the Femme Frames and added a few black splatters with my Gansai Tambi paints.
