Good morning, everyone!! Did you have a great Monday? I certainly hope so! I had a pretty normal day, then worked out this evening....and then we went over to Grant & Meagan's for dinner. Not much else on my home front.
Just wanted to add a quick note that I have updated the "For Sale" tab on my blog. There is A LOT on it, and good prices....so be sure to check it out!
Today I have the rest of my projects for my guest design spot with Mama Elephant this month! For the first card I am featuring the Mama Elephant "Smitten" stamp set, which I think might be my FAVE from this release. It has the sweetest sentiments, and super trendy accent images to go along with them. I combined the stamp set with Glitz's new "Color Me Happy" collection....and it was just the perfect fit. Here is what I made!
Instructions:
1. Make an A2 card from red cardstock.
2. Cut chalkboard paper slightly smaller, sand the edges and adhere.
3. Cut a strip of rainbow people paper and adhere to the middle.
3. Round the corners of the text paper, then adhere to the left side.
4. Add a strip of washi tape to the right side.
5. Stamp a feather to cardstock, cut out and adhere to the right side.
6. Cut a banner edge to chalkboard paper, sand the edges and stamp the sentiment to it.
7. Cut a circle from woodgrain paper, and stamp the hands to it.
8. Layer the sentiment banner & stamped circle over top of the feather accent.
9. Tie a double bow from twine, and adhere with a rhinestone to the front.
10. Add a pin to the sentiment cluster to finish.
Challenges:
-Moving Along with the Times - Bling
-There She Goes #192 - Woodgrain
-Pile It On #4 - Washi Tape
-Frosted Design Fabulous Friday - Music (my card is inspired by a song!)
My next card uses the new Mama Elephant "Type It" stamp set. This stamp set includes the cutest little typewriter, and some really fabulous sentiment possibilities. I chose to go with a love theme since Valentine's Day is so close...and it paired perfectly with these Pink Paislee "Secret Crush" papers. Here is my card!
Instructions:
1. Make A2 card from light grey cardstock.
2. Cut floral paper slightly smaller, round the corners and adhere.
3. Cut a grey polka dot paper strip, round the right hand corners and adhere.
4. Line the back of a diecut card with pink cardstock and heart paper, then adhere to the front.
5. Stamp the typewriter & sentiment paper to cardstock and vellum, cut out and adhere.
6. Add a diecut heart & pearl to the top of the sentiment.
7. Add a diecut arrow and ticket to the card, then accent with pearls.
8. Add heart confetti to the top right corner to finish.
Challenges:
-Just Add Ink #150 - Sketch
-The Pink Elephant #184 - Hearts
-Loves Rubberstamps #37 - Have a Heart
I have seriously loved guest designing for Mama Elephant this month. I just adore their sweet and fun stamp sets, and the fresh style that Kryssi has brought to the stamping world. I hope that you've enjoyed my projects this month using these new stamps, and I can't wait to see what you all start creating with them as well! Have a great rest of your day!
Until later,
~L.
