Merry & Bright

Hello! Today I am sharing the card I was just finishing off that I was meant to post yesterday so here it is! This one features more Mama Elephant Stamps because well they are just the cutest...

For this card I used Mama Elephant Fa La La Stamp Set. I coloured all the images with Copics and cut them out. I created a simple blended background using Mermaid Lagoon & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I did a lot of splattering white ink with a paintbrush too! I also added some white dots over the top with my Posca Pen. I used my MFT Stitched Snow Drifts Dies to create the snow hills. I used the MFT Merry & Bright Die to create the sentiment. I added the images with foam pads and added some shading underneath their feet.

Christmas Tree Picking

Hello crafty friends! So I didn't quite finish off the other card I had planned for my blog today so I am sharing a different one today. It's Mama Elephant again and this time a slimline card. Such a great size for cramming lots of cute images onto and doing sweet scenes...

For this card I used Mama Elephant Tree Picking Stamp Set. I love this set, such cute little bunnies!!! I coloured all the images with my Copics of course and cut them out. I created the background using Scattered Straw, Seeded Preserves & Wilted Violet. I love how it came out! I splattered the background with white ink and water droplets. I used the hill die from the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics Die Set to create my snow hill. I also added some glitter to it. I used my Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Dies to create the frame. I added all the images and a stamped sentiment onto the card with foam pads. To finish I added some clear dew drops.

Bear Greetings

Good morning crafty friends. I've got another Christmas card to share with you today. This one was made using Mama Elephant Stamps...

This one was also featured in PaperCrafter. For this card I used Mama Elephant A Beary Christmas. I think this has to be one of my favourite Christmas stamp sets ever, I just love it! I stamped all the images, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. I created a little background scene panel using Mermaid Lagoon & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I then added a snow hill which was die cut using Lawn Fawn Slimline Simple Hill Borders. I mounted it onto glitter card and attached all the images with foam pads. I layered some patterned papers onto glitter card, added some twine then glued them onto a card blank. I used Mama Elephant Everything Nice Stamps & Die Set to create the sentiment.
