October Mama Elephant Designer Series

Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share my Designer Series project using the incredible October release from Mama Elephant Stamps. This release is so fun and festive, with all of the holiday themed sets. I especially love the little bundles of goodies from the Deliver Winter Joy set, and how you can shop your stash to find stamps that go along with each image. 

First, I stamped the amazing vintage truck from the Deliver by Truck stamp set. Next, I stamped the bundle of toys and the Christmas tree from Deliver Winter Joy . I found that the adorable elves and toys from Busy Elves and Oh Merry Tree coordinated perfectly for my scene. I couldn’t leave out Santa, and the perfect one was from the Secret Santa set. 

After everything was colored, die cut, and highlighted, I created my base layers. I used the Magic Snow Cover Creative Cuts layered over some patterned and colored cardstock for my foundation. I gave it some gentle inkblending and a few splashes of ink. I wanted this card to be full of dimension, so I popped the images up with foam tape making sure to leave room for my bold sentiment. I used the Everything Nice sentiment set and stamped with red ink for a cheery look. I die cut the sentiment and a piece of foam tape to pop up my word strip instead of glueing many together. 

I finished this off with a sprinkling of snowflakes that I adhered with glue dots to keep them lifted off of the background. I think Santa delivering toys in his pick-up is just as cute as any sleigh, and I hope that you enjoy this little joy filled card. Thank you for stopping by,

Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop

Hello Crafty friends! Davina here, sharing brand new products from the Pretty Pink Posh May release. This beautifully curated release is full of items for all of our spring/summer events, like Graduations and Fathers Day, pretty bird themed sets, and more. 

I especially loved these detailed Decorative Birdhouses Die Set. All of the pretty stitched details and various door options made it so fun to play with. I cut each house from Bristol Smooth Cardstock two times. With one of each design, I inkblended the house with Distress Oxide Ink, then secured the scallop and trim with washi tape from behind. I also added a little bit of marker detail to each house. Next, I adhered the white trim from my second die cut houses, layered on top, and used a darker marker to color the small strips. Then, I cut and added the doors to each little house. 

I was so excited that the birds from A Little Birdie stamp set fit so perfectly with these houses. I stamped and colored three birds to add to my houses, and layered them onto a slimline cardbase that I gently inked.  I stamped the nice long branch from the Spring Birdhouses stamp set onto the cardbase as well. I intentionally left it as an outline so it wouldn’t distract from my little row of cute houses. I finished this off  with a heat embossed sentiment and a sprinkling of colored confetti from the new Rainbow Shimmer Confetti Mix. 

Make sure you “Hop along” all three days to see the incredible DT samples with this wonderful release,

Valentines Release Sneak Peek

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I’m sharing some super sweet “Sneak Peek” projects for the most amazing Pretty Pink Posh  January release. This release is full of the cutest Valentines products and everything from stamps and dies, to stencils, and now Hot Foil Plates! It’s all so exciting and I can’t wait for everyone to see the new goodies!

I made some adorable little note card Valentines using the new Sweet Note Die and a few of the new sets, Potted Roses and Sweet Cherries . I die cut some colored cardstock using the Sweet Note set, and adhered some bright patterned paper to the exterior that I cut with the notecard die, and trimmed to fit the folds. I love the sweet stitching detail and the little square panel that is included for the interior. I stamped images from both sets (and a mouse and accessories from previous sets) and colored them up in bright colors to match my patterned paper. 

I created very simple scenes for both the exterior and inside of each card. Making sure to use the same layout on each card. The gorgeous cherries are the perfect size to add to the large cupcakes, and those roses are so pretty and fun to color.
