Christmas is here with Davina

 Hello Crafty friends! Davina here, to share some fun Christmas cheer with you today. I’ve said it many times, and I’ll say it again, the Mama Elephant Little Agenda series is one of my favorite collections of stamps. I love being able to add many little cuties onto my scenes, and i especially love combining them onto cover grid backgrounds. 


The card I’m sharing today combines the new and adorable Little Elephant Agenda stamps, and the recent Elephant Cheer stamps. My favorite technique for using cover grid cover plates, is to layer a dimensional foreground at the bottom of the scene, while filling in the exposed grid with Agenda images. This is exactly how I built the card I’m sharing today. 


I cut two panels from white cardstock, using the Globies Cover Grid, and glued them together for a little more structure. I used some glittery Champaign colored cardstock for the snow globe bases and adhered them at the bottom of each snow globe. After mounting the cover grid over some winter themed patterned paper, I mounted the whole thing onto a slightly larger striped panel from the same paper pack. At the very bottom of the grid I mounted a glittery stitched hillside using some foam tape. I filled that hillside with stamped and colored images from Elephant Cheer, and added sparkling Wink of Stella to the stars. 


I added a Little Elephant Agenda image to each exposed snow globe window using a foam dot, and sprinkled a few die cut snowflakes around the card front. I finished the card off with the teeniest strip of a sentiment that I partially stamped from a different Mama Elephant Christmas set. I really love combining and mixing multiple sets onto my cards, and I always hope that my projects will inspire you to do the same. Thank you for dropping by, Davina

Mama Elephant November Stampede

 


Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

www.mamaelephant.com



Today I’m sharing a bright and vibrant holiday card using a mix of new and classic Mama elephant products. I used the new Little Elephant Agenda stamps and arranged them onto my Ornament grid background. I put some very busy patterned paper behind the openings, so I decided to layer my die cut sentiment with multi colored cut outs. This sentiment was part of the Penguins Waddle stamp and coordinating die set.
