Mama Elephant Stamp Highlights Joyful Greeting

 Hello crafty friends! I’m so happy to be participating with the Mama Elephant team once again. Todays “Stamp Highlight” is the wonderful Holiday sentiment set called Joyful Greetings. This tasteful and pretty set is full of Christmas messages that would be perfect for the front of a card or even the inside message. Each sentiment has a coordinating die so you can place the sentiment over a busy background like I have with my “Jolly” card. 

I wanted a soft yet bold background for this gingerbread man filled card, so I used alcohol inks on white photo paper for a textured looking background. I created a postcard frame using the Postage Frame Creative Cuts and fit my inky background inside. I stamped and cut images from the Gingerbread Cookies Stamp set using brown ink soft pastel Christmas colors. 

I finished this card by stamping my “Joyful Greeting” with Taupe ink and centering in the top of my card. I really love the results and think that these sentiments will coordinate well with any holiday themed stamp set.

Pretty Pink Posh September Release

 

Hello crafty friends. Davina here, to celebrate, the Pretty Pink Posh September Release. I’ve made several cards using these beautiful fall products and I am participating in the Instagram Hop today! Hop along leaving comments at each stop, for your chance to win $30 to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop. 

Every set in this release is gorgeous, and they all mix together with wonderful results. This release has several stencils, stand alone dies sets, and stamp sets that could not get any better. I used the Fall Basket Die Set as the centerpiece for this card. I blended the wooden strips with light brown ink and tiny splatters, then cut the pumpkins from orange cardstock that I accentuated with lighter and darker oranges. I used several of the cute mice from the Mouse Friends stamp set to bring an element of cuteness to this scene. Then, I assembled everything on top of a stenciled background that I created with the Layered Foliage Stencils. 

It’s so easy to make stunning backgrounds using the many detailed stencils that are offered by PPP. I created a completely different look with the Falling Branches stencil, that I used white embossing paste over a soft inkblended background. I assembled a sunflower filled scene using the new Fall Envelopes stamps combined with Potted Sunflowers and the Thanks  stand alone scoot die. 

My final card is super cute and uses the pretty Fall Borders stamps set. I layered the pumpkin strip over a Fall Tree die cuts and some falling leaves and sentiment from the  Autumn Wreath  set. I finished this card off with the adorable pup from the Halloween Critters.

Thank you so much for stopping by, don’t forget to visit the Pretty Pink Posh Blog to see the Inspiration from the entire team.

Mama Elephant Stamp Highlights Busy Elves

Hello crafty friends! Today I’m honored to be participating in the Mama Elephant Anniversary Stampede. The “Stamp Highlights” begin today and and we are showcasing the cutest elves around from the set called Busy Elves. These adorable images are beautifully illustrated and just as cute as their smaller counterparts from the Little Elf Agenda set. 

I stamped and colored these cuties using brown ink and pastel Christmas colors like pink, coral, mint, and yellow. I assembled my images on top of some glittery snowy hillsides with a die cut snowy background using the Galactic Cover Creative Cuts. 

In my soft pink sky I adhered a large sentiment that stamped with Everything Nice stamp set, I love that they have coordinating dies to make these sentiments really stand out. And over some of the busy elves I placed sentiments from the set, in little word bubbles. 

Head on over to the Mama Elephant website for all of the details about their anniversary specials and the freebie sets that are available with purchase. There is so much cuteness that you want to miss out.  Thank you for stopping by, Davina                

                                          

 

Welcome back to day 3 of Stampede! Today we continue our celebration with fabulous project ideas and inspiration!

I’m so honored to be participating with the Mama Elephant team and this gorgeous holiday release. I created a fun winter wonderland using the new Busy Elves Stamps that I nestled into a soft pink pop up boxcard. I created the 3D Pop Up Box  with sturdy colored cardstock that I layered with fun patterned papers and images. I stamped my elves with brown ink before coloring with copic markers and assembling them into the inserts. On the front flap I used my favorite Everything Nice Sentiment Stamps that have the best coordinating dies, and paired it with one of the cute images.
