Mama Elephant January Stampede Blog Hop | Just A Note Card w/ Zipper Die + GIVEAWAY
Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!
Today I'm sharing an interactive card with the new Just A Note Stamp Set and Zipper Die. I love the Zipper Die for creating a hidden message with a fun interactive element to cards! The Zipper Die creates perforated lines that make it super easy to pull them open and reveal the hidden sentiment!
I stamped the large script greeting from the Just A Note Stamp Set with black ink and then stamped butterflies from the Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set all over the background with Versamark Ink, being sure to make some of the butterflies look like they were sitting on parts of the large greeting. I embossed with clear embossing powder so that the color of the embossing powder wouldn't cover up any of the black stamped greeting.
I flicked watered down Brushed Pewter and Picket Fence Distress Paints over the background with a small paintbrush and let the background completely dry.
I used a pencil to mark on my background panel where the zipper is on the front panel and then stamped the hidden greeting from the Just A Note Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat set the greeting with white embossing powder.
I adhered the front panel over the hidden panel and then attached the entire thing to a white side fold card base, finishing the design with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Very pretty card. I don't know very many people I could send that sentiment too about last year. It was a real challenge for me and lots of others too.
This card is so beautiful! The butterflies from Butterfly Kisses look fabulous with the new Just a Note stamp! Of course, the secret message under the zipper die cut just makes this card even more special!!
