Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Today I'm showcasing brand new Mama Elephant stamps and dies from the May 2020 Release to create this lovely Botanic Envelope Card. Background die cutting, masking, inking, stenciling, and texture are the perfect way to showcase this envelope full of beautiful botanicals!

Watch the creation of this botanic envelope card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Without removing the mask, the Heffy Doodle Brick By Brick Stencil was placed over the top and Ranger Grit Paste was applied using a palette knife. I purposely didn't apply an "even" application of the Grit Paste so the bricks have a bit more of an "aged" character! The masks were removed and the masks and palette knife washed immediately with warm water to remove any excess Grit Paste.
The Botanic Envelope was die cut from smooth white cardstock and inked with Pinkfresh Studio Summer Shower and Seaside inks. The pieces were assembled s shown for the detailed envelope.
Flowers from the Stems and Sprigs were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Red: Deep Red, Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green
Pink: Red, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green
Purple: Deep Violet, Violet, Light Violet, Green, Light Green
Yellow Orange: Scarlet Red, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Green, Light Green
The flowers were die cut with the coordinating Stems and Sprigs dies and the flowers and greenery were tucked into the Botanic Envelope. The envelope was adhered to the background with foam adhesive and the entire panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

Happy World Kindness Day friends! Honey Bee Stamps has an incredible new stamp set for us today called You Are Loved. $5 from the sale of each stamp set sold through Honey Bee Stamp website will be donated to Rachel's Challenge. Please read more about this wonderful project HERE.

Watch the creation of this rainbow background kindness card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
This card is a single layer adhered to a white side fold card base but the colors and greeting pack a big punch. The new Geometric Background Stencil and rainbow-colored Distress Inks provide the perfect background for the You Are Loved sentiment.
I started the card with a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and the Geometric Background Stencil. I used post it tape to mask off sections of the stencil and inked each "strip" with Distress Inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I removed the stencil, spritzed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer, blotted the background dry and stamped a greeting from the You Are Loved Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx Ink.
I love that you can mix and match the sentiment(s) to say exactly what you want to say. I love the size of the greeting(s) and how it's the star of the show. I will be making many, many of these cards to have on hand. Love this stamp set so much.
Hearts from the You Are Loved were stamped with Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I switched to Distress Oxides here because they stamp solid images so much better than the regular Distress Inks. You definitely wouldn't need to use both the regular and oxides on this card. You could ink the background with Oxide Inks to minimize the supplies needed. ;)
I finished some of the hearts with a layer of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard and added a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Red Berry, Ripened Pumpkin, Dandelion Yellow, Apple Green, Midnight Blue, and Crushed Grape to complete my design.

Our world needs more kindness – now, more than ever. Here at Honey Bee Stamps, we love spreading kindness. So today seems like the perfect day to share a little extra!
On a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock the border from the Zen Floral Stamp Set was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The florals were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the background along the bottom edge was watercolored with water brush pen and marker.
To divide the top from the bottom without the addition of multiple layers, a thin strip of dark gray cardstock was adhered right above the floral watercolored border.
The word, "kindness" from the Kindness Dies was die cut from cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It. Each letter of the word was inked with a Distress Ink in rainbow order! I adhered the die cut word right above the gray strip as shown. Additional greetings from the Kindness Stamp Set were stamped above the die cut greeting with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.
Bees and dotted "bumblebee trails" from the Busy Bees Stamp Set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The bees were finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.
Additional flowers from the Zen Floral Stamp Set were stamped on Brisol Smooth Cardstock with Versamark Ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Hello! Earlier this week I shared this trio of inlay style kindness cards on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and YouTube Channel using the November Card Kit, Kind Flowers. I absolutely adore this kit! So many amazing things you can do with it! HERE is a dimensional greeting die cut from a stamped image card I shared with the kit. I wanted to showcase the amazing specialty papers from the kit with my cards today so I used the Heart of Flowers Die to to create inlay panels and die cut the specialty papers to fit inside the floral shapes! Awesome texture and elegant kindness cards!
I backed the panels with foam tape, flipped them over and placed the die cut pieces inside the flower and leaf shapes for the inlay design. I used a QuickStik tool for any of the super small pieces.
I peeled the backing paper off the back of the panel and adhered each to a cream cardstock card base.
