Slim Woodland Fall Scene Card (Mama Elephant)

Hello friends! Today I have a Slim Woodland card that I turned into a fall scene rather than a winter or Christmas scene. I love that the landscape can be turned into "grass" rather than "snow" and how the leaves from the Tree Branch Cover Creative Cuts Die are the perfect way to add falling leaves to the design!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this slim woodland fall scene card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

Images from the Sincerely Yours Stamp Set and Toasty Friends Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

Bunnies: Mid Brown, Beige, Light Beige, Pale Pink
Mouse: Dark Gray, Light Gray, Pale Pink
Bunny in Blue Jammies: Deep Blue, Blue Gray, Purple, Blender, Mustard, Mid Brown
Mama Bunny's Chair & Card: Peacock Blue, Persian Green, Blender, Deep Red, Pale Rose, Mustard, Mid Brown
Bunny in Striped Jammies: Deep Red, Pale Rose, Blender, Blue Gray, Mustard, Mid Brown
Bunny in Green Jammies: Mid Green, Olive Green, Dark Gray, Light Gray, Blue Gray, Mid Brown, Beige
Bunny with Mug: Peacock Blue, Persian Green, Deep Blue, Blue Gray, Deep Red, Pale Rose
Thought Bubble: Blue Gray, Blender

The images were die cut with the coordinating dies.

The Slim Woodland was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The edges of the panel were masked off with post it tape and the landscape was inked with Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Ink. The trees were inked with Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Ink.

A 3 1/4" x 8 1/4" panel was inked with Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and splattered with Liquid Stardust for a "starry sky". The Slim Woodland was adhered over the sky.

Scraps of smooth white cardstock were inked with Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Crushed Olive, and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks and then die cut with leaves dies from the Tree Branch Cover Creative Cuts Die. The leaves were glued to the trees and scattered along the landscape to create the fall scene.

The Sincerely Yours Stamp Set and Toasty Friends Stamp Set images were adhered to the scene as shown. The thought bubble was adhered with foam adhesive.

Mama Elephant 8th Anniversary Stampede Day 3 (GIVEAWAY)

Welcome back to Day 3 of the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop! We are celebrating 8 years with a fantastic new holiday release along with our amazing friends!

Join us with some free goodies and our annual sale!

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite techniques for adding depth and dimension to die cuts: shading colored cardstock with Copic Markers. The new Foliage Frame is gorgeous and can be used for holiday and beyond. I created a holiday design today with Copic shading on the leafy frame, leafy branches, and flowers. A bright white embossed sentiment, gems in the center of the flowers, and glittery Nuvo Crystal Drops on the berries are the perfect finishing details.

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this foliage frame Christmas card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

The Foliage Frame Creative Cuts Die was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Green Leaf Cardstock and the leaves around the perimeter of the frame were shaded with G05 and G09 Copic Markers.

A sentiment from my new favorite holiday greeting set, Mixed Holiday Greetings, was stamped on the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The leafy branches from the Foliage Frame Creative Cuts Dies were die cut from Lawn Fawn Noble Fir Cardstock and Gold Mirror Cardstock. The green die cuts were shaded with YG95 and YG97 Copic Markers.

The green leaves were adhered to the gold ones for a bit of a "shadow" effect and then adhered to the background leaf frame panel as shown.

The florals and berries were die cut from Hero Arts Cherry Cardstock. Each flower consists of a 5 petal flower and 2 - 3 petal flowers. Each layer was shaded with R46 and R59 Copic Markers. The flowers were assembled and glued in place on the card.

The sprigs were die cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock and finished with a berry on each top before being tucked into the floral design. I didn't add any shading to the berries as they are so super small and we will be adding sparkle to them later.

To finish the card, Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were added to the berries for a "sugared" effect.

Pretty Pink Posh Metallic Jewels were added to the centers of each of the flowers.

The frame was adhered to a white side fold card base.

Mama Elephant 8th Anniversary Review & Release + Two Cards

Happy Tuesday! I'm so excited about the 8th Anniversary Mama Elephant Release NOW AVAILABLE! In my video today, I'm showing all the new stamps and dies plus sharing how I created two slimline cards by mixing and matching several of the new products for these new holiday designs.

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these slimline holiday cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

Both backgrounds were created by die cutting the Slim Woodland from smooth white cardstock and coloring in the trees with E53, E55, and E57.

A solid slimline panel was inked with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and spritzed with a Distress Sprayer for a "snowy" look.

Sentiments from the Mixed Holiday Greetings Stamp Set were stamped on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The Slim Woodland was adhered over the distress background and set aside while the images were stamped and colored.

Images from the Let It Snow Stamp Set and Oh Penguin Tree Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Hero Arts Intens-ified Ink and colored with the following Copic Markers:

Penguin with star garland: C5, C7, W00, W2, R30, R35, R46, YR02, YR04, Y02, Y13, G82, G46
Snowman with red scarf: BG10, BG11, R35, R46, R30, YR04, W00, W2
Snowman with pink scarf: BG10, BG11, R35, R46, RV63, RV55, YR04, R30
Small penguin: C5, C7, W00, W2, G82, G46, R30, YR04
Penguin with antlers hat: C5, C7, W00, W2, R30, R35, R46, E53, E55, YR04
Bird: BG10, BG11, YR04, R30, G82, G46
Leaves: G82, G46

The images were die cut with the coordinating Let It Snow Creative Cuts Dies and Oh Penguin Tree Creative Cuts Dies. The images were added to the background scene. Detail was added to the eyes with a black gel pen. Details were added to the scarves, hats, etc. with a white pen. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were added to the star garland. A small heart accent finished the design.

Images from the Let It Snow Stamp Set and Little Fox Agenda Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Hero Arts Intens-ified Ink and colored with the following Copic Markers:

Foxes: YR31, YR24, YR27, W00, W2
Snowman: BG10, BG11, R35, R46, C5, C7, R30
Red accessories: R35, R46
Stars: Y02, Y13
Wreath: R35, R46, G82, G46
Bell: YR30, YR31
Leaves: G82, G46

The images were die cut with the coordinating Let It Snow Creative Cuts Dies and Little Fox Agenda Creative Cus Dies. The images were added to the background scene.

A Holiday Word Banner was stamped on smooth white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink and die cut with the coordinating Holiday Word Banners Creative Cuts Dies. The banner was adhered above the stamped and embossed greeting to appear to be "hanging" from the trees.

Detail was added to the eyes with a black gel pen. Details were added to the scarves, hats, etc. with a white pen. A small heart accent finished the design.

Happy STAMPtember! Today's Limited Edition Exclusive from Mama Elephant, "Winter Fox"! This 4" x 5" stamp set is an awesome addition to Mama Elephant's adorable holiday critter stamps! Combine these cuties with critters you already own for even more amazing designs.

I created a slimline masked scene card with the new Winter Fox Stamps, Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles, Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Dies, and Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics.

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this slimline masked holiday scene card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

MASKING TIPS

A background was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles die. Images from the Winter Fox Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Hero Arts Instes-ified Ink and stamped again on Masking Paper. The images from the masking paper were fussy cut and adhered over the images on the card base. I always start with the images that will be in the foreground first, and work my way back.

Another Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles was die cut from Masking Paper and a Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics border was used to die cut a snow drift mask that was placed across the bottom edge of the design.

Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks were inked over the background for a blue-ish purple winter sky.

Snow Storm Nuvo Embellishment Mousse was applied through the Simon Says Stamp Large Falling Snow Slimline Stencil using the Stencil Pal for even, smooth application.

Once the Nuvo Mousse was dry, all the stencils were removed from the panel to reveal the images ready to color!

The Winter Fox Stamp Set images were colored with the following Copic Markers:

Light Green Trees: YG21, YG13, YG17, E55, E57
Dark Green Trees: YG17, G28
Foxes: YR31, YR24, YR27, W00, W2, W5
Snowmen and snowballs: BG11, BG13, RV52, RV55, R24, R29, B14, B16, C5, C7
Bird: BG11, BG13, Y11, YR04
Fire: Y11, Y08, Y18, YR04, E55, E57

A greeting from the stamp sett was stamped along the bottom edge of the panel with Simon Says Stamp Blue Jay Ink.

Trinity Stamps Sweet and Tart red hearts were added to the scene as shown.

Mats for the masked panel were created by die cutting a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Marquee Dies from Lawn Fawn Blue Jay Cardstock and a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles from SSS Island Blue Cardstock. The marquee panel was adhered over the solid panel as shown. I love the subtle dotted border, don't you?!!!

The masked scene was adhered to the center of the marquee mat and the entire thing was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2").

Tall & Skinny Slim Window Dressing Cards (Mama Elephant)

Hello, friends! Tall and skinny cards are all the rage right now and I am loving the new die collections from Mama Elephant that make scene building a tall and skinny card or a short and long card easy peasy! I'm using the brand new Slim Window Dressing Creative Cuts dies with the My Pet Kitties and My Pet Puppies stamp sets for super cute pet themed scene cards! Let's get started!

Mama Elephant July 2020 Stampede Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY (Mega Flipper)

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Today I'm showcasing how to use the brand new Mega Flipper Creative Cuts Dies to make this out of this world interactive birthday flipper card! The Mega Flipper is a larger size of the previously released Flip Slider Creative Cuts Dies. Want to see the original dies in action? Check out THIS post. I love the larger size of the flip slider. You can even fit a gift card in this size to make it extra special! Let's get started!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this interactive flip slider card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

THE BACKGROUND

The Mega Flipper components (flipper and panel) were die cut from Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy Cardstock. The edges of the panels were masked with low tack tape and Distress Oxide Inks in Speckled Egg and Black Soot were applied to the cardstock. Each panel was splattered with Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust for a "galaxy" effect.

The panels were adhered to the tabs on the Mega Flipper as shown in the video above.

Note Any stamping that needs to be done to the panels (i.e. the sentiment and lines coming from the back of the rockets) should be done before attaching the panels to the Mega Flipper. I stamped the greeting and images from the Little Agenda Spaceship Stamp Set with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.

The Night Sky Cover was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy Cardstock. The edges of the panels were masked with low tack tape and Distress Oxide Inks in Speckled Egg, Wilted Violet, Black Soot were applied to the cardstock. The panel was spritzed with water in a Distress Sprayer and allowed to dry. The panel was backed with silver glitter cardstock.

The Mega Flipper was adhered to the background as shown.

FINISHING THE CARD

Images from the Little Agenda Spaceship Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The following color combinations were used for each image:

Rockets: Wine Red, Blush, Peacock Blue, Shadow Mauve, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Blue Gray, Blue Haze
Earth: Blue, Light Blue, Light Green, Yellow Green, Pale Pink
Moon: Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink
Stars: Bright Yellow, Yellow
Bunnies: Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink
Dogs: Mid Brown, Beige
Cats: Brown, Light Brown, Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink

The images were die cut with the coordinating Little Agenda Spaceship Dies and adhered to each panel.

The pull tab from the Mega Flipper was die cut from silver sparkle cardstock and red colored cardstock. The die cuts were added to the pull tab to show the recipient where to pull to make the interactive element work.

Mini star confetti was adhered to each panel with a bit of liquid glue.

A greeting from the Inside Birthday Wishes Stamp Set was stamped on the back of the Mega Flipper with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Letterboard Shaped Cards (Mama Elephant)

Happy Monday friends! Today I'm sharing two Letterboard Shaped Cards featuring the My Pet Kitties Stamps and coordinating Creative Cuts Dies, School Rules Stamps and coordinating Creative Cuts Dies, and Letterboard Combo Creative Cuts Dies. I love a shaped card and the new Letterboard dies are great for making shaped cards but also can be used to decorate a card front! So awesome!

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of these letter board shaped cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

Both card bases were created exactly the same. Each card requires a Letterboard Combo Creative Cuts Dies front and back, a frame, a contrasting insert, and a connector. Be sure to watch the video to see how easy these are to put together.

For the My Pet Kitties card I stamped images from the stamp set on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with no line coloring ink and colored in the images with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

Gray kitty: Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink
Mice: Mid Brown, Beige, Pale Pink
Kitty with yarn: Brown, Light Brown, Pale Pink, Blue, Light Blue, Red, Light Carmine
Yellow butterfly: Bright Yellow, Yellow
Purple butterfly: Light Violet, Blender

The images were die cut with the coordinating My Pet Kitties Creative Cuts and adhered along the bottom edge of the letter board.

Letters were die cut from multiple colors of cardstock using the Letterboard Combo Die. The letters were secured to the letter board as shown. A sentiment from the stamp set was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The card was finished with a scattering of Funfetti hearts.

For the School Rules card I stamped images from the stamp set on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with no line coloring ink and colored in the images with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

Fox: Brown, Light Brown, Medium Beige, Pale Pink
Stack of books: Red, Light Carmine, Mid Brown, Light Green, Yellow Green, Blue, Light Blue, Turquoise Green, Green Shadow, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Orange, Pale Orange, Red, Light Carmine, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink
Bunny and globe: Blue, Light Blue, Light Green, Yellow Green, Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Blender, Pale Pink
Mouse: Mid Brown, Beige, Pale Pink

The images were die cut with the coordinating School Rules Creative Cuts and adhered along the bottom edge of the letter board.

The card was finished with a scattering of Funfetti hearts.

Mama Elephant June 2020 Stampede Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Today I'm showcasing brand new Mama Elephant stamps and dies from the June 2020 Release to create this super spooky fun Halloween card featuring the new Quick Stripes Creative Cuts Dies, Little Mummy Agenda Stamps and Dies, and Deep Etched Night Sky Cover.

V I D E O T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this Halloween card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

For the spooktacular background I die cut the Deep Etched Night Sky Cover from Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock. The edges were masked off with low tack tape and the sky was stenciled with the MFT Mini Clouds Stencil and white pigment ink. Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust was splattered over the background for a subtle shimmery effect.

Borders were die cut from Hero Hues Palm Cardstock using Landscape Trio Dies, the edges inked with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink, and adhered along the bottom edge of the scene as shown.

The Tree Branches Cover was die cut from Lawn Fawn Ground Coffee Cardstock and the trees trimmed from the panel. the trees were tucked into the borders.

The background panel was glued over an Autumn Sparkles glitter cardstock for peek-a-boo glittery moon and stars.

Quick Stripes Creative Cuts Dies were used to die cut Hero Hues Papaya Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Smoke Gray Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp Slate Gray Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock, and smooth white cardstock. The stripes were adhered to a piece of thin printer paper using Stick It Adhesive. The striped background was then die cut using Headliner Alpha Dies to spell "eek!". The letters were adhered to additional die cut letters to give the striped letters more dimension and adhered to the background as shown.

Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Halloween strips were adhered under the die cut greeting using foam adhesive.

The Little Mummy Agenda Stamps and Dies images were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Hero Arts Instens-ified Black Ink and colored in with Copic Markers before being die cut with the coordinating dies. The images were adhered to the scene.
