Birthday Wishes

Hello! After a bit of a break from crafting I am finally back to what I love doing! 

I actually some bits and pieces last year that I never got round to using so I thought I would get to using them first before I go on a crazy new shopping spree! I used my new Mama Elephant Flower Friends Stamps and coloured them with Copics. I created the background using my MFT Slimline Cloud Edges Stencil along with some Distress Ink. I then used my Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joes Border Dies to create the hills and blended some Distress Inks over the top. The sentiments are from the Mama Elephant Wishes Enclosed Stamp Set and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. To finish I added a few clear drops.

Supplies;
Mama Elephant Stamps - Flower Friends, Wishes Enclosed
Mama Elephant Dies - Wishes Enclosed
Heffy Doodle Dies - Stitched Slopey Joes Borders
My Favorite Things Stencils - Slimline Cloud Edges
Distress Oxide Inks - Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness

Easter Cuties

Hello I'm back to share another of my creations. This time I've created a bridge shaped card for Easter using my favourite bunny stamps from Mama Elephant...

For this card I used my Mama Elephant Eggtastic Stamps along with Stems & Sprigs Stamp Sets. I coloured all the images with Copics and cut them out. I created the background folded card piece with my MFT Slimline Cloud Edges Stencil with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I then created the front bridge piece by blending Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn & Twisted Citron Inks. I then die cut it using my grass from my Time For Tea Slimline Hillside Scene Dies. I used the fence die from my Mama Elephant Slim Fancy Fence Die Set. I added it behind the grass panel before adding it onto the card. I printed the sentiment and mounted it onto blue card. I added everything onto the card with foam pads as you know I love a bit on dimension! This one featured in PaperCrafter.

Love You So

Good morning crafty friends. I have been creating some more valentines/love themed cards. I love creating them as it means I can often use my favourite colour combos - I didn't realise how much I actually love pink!!!

For this card I used my Mama Elephant Cub Cuddles Stamp Set. I haven't used this one for a while but I thought the images were so cute! I coloured them with my Copics and cut them out. I created a blended background using Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Ink. I then went over the top with my MFT Cloud Edges Stencil & Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink. I used my new Lawn Fawn Heart Garden Border which was cut from card and coloured with Oxide Inks. I added another panel of grass also blended with Mowed Lawn & Twisted Citron Oxide Inks. I used my Concord & 9th Just Saying Dies to create the large Love You So. I also added a stamped sentiment at the bottom which is from the same stamp set. To finish I added a few gems onto the heart flowers.

I blended a simple background using Distress Oxide Inks and added some white ink splatters. I used my Mama Elephant Everything Nice Stamp Set along with the coordinating dies to create the sentiment. I added a few clear gems to finish.

Bubble Tea Birthday

Good morning and welcome to a new week! First off I'm sorry I wasn't able to post on Friday, I was very poorly but am a little better now. Both my girls and I LOVE a bubble tea so with that in mind I decided to dig out my fun bubble tea stamps...

I had so much fun colouring them all with my Copic Pens. I created a simple blended background using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink and used the same ink to add some ink splats. I die cut the background using my favourite shape die from the Mama Elephant Mod Heart Die Set. I covered a card blank with stripe paper and added the panel on top. I used my Mama Elephant  Wishes Enclosed Stamp & Die Set for the sentiments. I added everything onto the card with foam pads.
