May 2, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of the April release by Mama Elephant.

Mama Elephant-Grid Planter, It's Okay

My first card featuring the Grid Planter Creative Cut for the background. I die cut the Grid Planter with white cardstock and adhered it onto a Vanilla card base. The adorable images are from the It’s Okay & Little Succulent Agenda sets. For the sentiment I used the So Appreciated set.

Urban City Christmas

December 8, 2021

Hi there! Just popping in with a fun, little Christmas card featuring a couple sets by Mama Elephant.

Mama Elephant-Urban City, Holiday Word Banners

I have loved this Urban City stamp set by Mama Elephant for a long time. I think it can be used for any occasion. I added the Merry Christmas using the Holiday Word Banners.

Mama Elephant-Urban City, Holiday Word Banners

This was a labor of love, though, coloring all of these little building in rainbow order with my Copics. It was actually kind of therapeutic to sit down and slow down during the hustle and bustle.

Hoping your holiday season is off to a colorful start. Wishing you rainbows in the midst of the chaos❤️

Globies Grid Cover

October 13, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute little shaker card featuring the Globies Grid Cover by Mama Elephant.

Mama Elephant-Globies Grid Cover, Holiday Word Banners, Lil Toy Machine

I fell in love with the Globies Grid Cover when I saw Rina’s gorgeous card. I loved how she filled the shaker with mini stars and little critters so I was inspired to try something similar.

Mama Elephant-Globies Grid Cover, Holiday Word Banners, Lil Toy Machine

I blended distress inks behind each globe for a subtle rainbow background. I used the adorable little critters from the Lil Toy Shop set to add to each globe along with mini iridescent star confetti.

For the sentiment I used the Holiday Word Banners. I love this soft, non-traditional holiday look for a change, but this could easily be adapted for a more traditional holiday look as well. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Snow Angels, Written in the Snow

My project features the Snow Angels stamp set along with the coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copics. For the background I masked off the edges with painters tape to make a clean frame. Then I blended distress inks in Cracked Pistachio & Mermaid Lagoon. I also flicked on Mermaid Lagoon and white ink for a snowy look. I stamped the large “believe” from Written in the Snow with Ocean ink and added a few sequins for embellishment.

Mama Elephant STAMPtember® Collaboration-Snow Kittens

September 16, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the latest STAMPtember® Collaboration with Mama Elephant called Snow Kittens.

How cute are these stacked kitties? For the background I used the Hillside Cover die and blended distress inks as well as flicking some inks & white ink for a snowy, hilly look.

Mama Elephant STAMPtember® Collaboration-Snow Kittens

I colored the images with Copies and embossed the sentiment in white onto Tropic Teal cardstock. I stamped a few snowflakes with Fresh Mint ink and for embellishment I added a few Lucky Shamrock sequins.

Beach Chickies

May 30, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Beach Chickies stamp set along with the coordinating Beach Chickies-Creative Cuts.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

To begin I masked off the background to blend Distress Oxides to go behind the Tri Window Cover-Creative Cut. This was my first time trying out the Life Changing Blender Brushes. Oh my goodness! Why did I ever doubt? They are amazing for a soft, subtle background blend.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

I stamped the images from Beach Chickies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copics and popped them up inside the windows of the Tri Window Cover die cut. I added a couple sentiments, also from Beach Chickies.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

I could go for a sunny day on the beach. It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Illinois. Sending you lots of sunshine today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
