The shaker card I’m sharing today was so simple using the new Serenity Ornament Creative Cuts die set. I added lots of snowy sequins to the center and a cute gnome couple using the previously released Little Gnome Agenda stamps. I built the scene on a dainty scalloped layer from the new Pull Paper Slider Creative Cut die set and finished it off with a Winter Banner Greetings sentiment strip.

Mama Elephant February Stampede Blog Hop

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

I’m very happy to be participating with the Mama Elephant Team as a guest designer for February. This month the the release is all birthday themed and I absolutely love it! I made an effort to make all of my projects with the same color scheme, and it looks so cute together. I can’t wait to share everything with you. Today, I have a card that uses quite a few of the new sets.  

I started by cutting some glittery white cardstock with the new Party Scene Cover- Creative Cuts. My favorite part of this die set is how detailed all the pieces are. I layered this scene over a piece of inkblended cardstock that I splattered with glittery perfect pearls and white ink. I stamped some adorable hamster images from two sets, the new Celebration Hamsters and the previously released Sweet Treats.

I adhered one of the new Hamster characters on-top of the pile of candy, covering the llama.  Then I built some balloons using the Party Scene dies, making sure to ink the edges for a little visual dimension.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment from my favorite new set, called Wishes Enclosed, with bright emerald green ink and added to the bottom.

Mama Elephant January 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

I’m so I’m very excited to be participating as a guest designer for the Mama Elephant January release. I have created many fun projects to share with you all. Today, as we introduce the January Stampede, I’m sharing a die cut mesh shaker card showing off the new die set - Mod Hearts CC. There are so many wonderful large elements included in this die set, that can be used separately, or all together. 

I began by using the large A2 sized frame die to cut a piece of red plaid paper for my card base. Then, I selected several pieces of colored cardstock that matched my plaid paper. I used the wonky stitched frame to cut a watermelon hued panel that I inked around the edges, before running the panel a second time with the large striped heart die, to remove the center and leave a nice stitched heart outline. I cut the heart from the 3 other pieces of colored card and arranged the strips in an alternating pattern.

I adhered some white mesh to the backside of the heart panel with double sided tape making sure it doesn’t extend beyond the panel. Then, I centered my striped heart onto the plaid paper, poured a pile of dainty flat white sequins, then carefully adhered the heart panel over top. These flat mesh shakers do have some movement, but not anything close to the movement of traditional foam tape shakers. The best results are with small flat sequins. 

Once the base was complete I stamped one of the adorable new images from the “To My Dearest” stamp set, onto bright white Neenah cardstock, then colored with copic markers before using the coordinating creative cuts to die cut. I added small white dot highlights and glued it onto my card base. I surrounded the image with small hearts from the same set, stamped with red ink, all over the heart panel. 

While I had all of the supplies on my desk I also made a couple of small envelopes from white cardstock that I inked and added some Little Agenda images to. Then, I made some teeny notes from paper scraps stamped with sentiments from “To My Dearest”, and tucked them into the envelopes. 

Thank you for stopping by today, I will have another great projects to share with you using the new release on Monday January 17th. Below you will find links to all the products that I have used available now in the Mama Elephant Shop.

Heffy Doodle and Sunny Studio Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Sunny Studio Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop!

Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! 

I’m so honored to be participating in this fun collaboration. Both wonderful companies provide such amazing products and with such cute themes. It was so simple to bring them both together since my creativity was flowing with excitement, and I love the the way they look together. 

I knew right away when I saw the cute mini stamp set from Sunny Studios called Just Bee-Cause that I wanted to combine the images with Heffy Doodles signature bears. I stamped out some of the cute bears from Beary Big Heart and colored everything with copic markers before die cutting with the coordinating dies.  I was so happy to have the perfect Country Scenes Stamp   to easily create the wooded background for my card. I added a die cut grassy layer on the bottom using the Grassy Lass Borders and popped it up on some foam tape. 

I inkblended a cloudy sky panel using Cloudy Skies Stencil and distress oxide inks, then splattered with water, white and gold ink.  I created a custom sentiment for the sky using the Rascal Alphabet Stamps And Dies and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink. I surrounded my Bee Kind sentiment with cute Sunny Studios he’s, and a few gold stars then mounted my image panel onto a contrasting black layer and some patterned paper. 

I love the way these companies products blend together, and hopefully as you hop along to all of the inspiration from both DTs, you will be motivated to do a little mixing and collaborating your self.
