Unforgettable jungle birthday | Mama Elephant

Hello there! I am back with an interactive card! Yeah! I tried the new 'wiper surprise' die from Mama Elephant and gathered some lesson' learned ;-)

So first I diecut a piece of white cardstock with the wiper surprise die and folded it along the scorelines. I used scattered straw and dried marigold distress oxide inks to blend some color. Then I stamped the on of the beautiful 'wild meadow' borders with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored it in with green Copic markers. I also colored some images from 'little bunny agenda' and 'little monkey agenda' with Copics.

I used the wiper surprise die on the wild meadow border (but the other way round) and then I trimmed down the ink blended cardstock because the wild meadow border is a bit smaller and I didn't want the cardstock to be larger.

 I used the small straight interactive die from the siper surprise set on this card. So I colored in an additional monkey from 'stackable cuties' and and adhered it on the wiper piece.

Lesson's learned: Due to the narrow front (wild meadow) only the small wiper piece was possible all the other would have shine through. In addition, it is a bit harder to fold the monkey away because it get stuck on the narrow meadow border. If it was higher it would be much easier but I like the result anyway :)

I stamped the sentiment from 'Ella & friends' with green ink and added a little balloon from stackable cuties also in green. Then I adhered all the other images and the front piece to the card.

Here is also a small photostory for you:

Sorry for my reaction |MFT Stamps

Hello everyone! The 'cute chemists' set from MFT stamps is so adorable, I love the different sentiments included in the set. Since I am not so used to coloring with colored pencils I challenged myself to use Prismacolors on today's card.

First I created the fun background by sprinkling some Nuvo shimmer powders on watercolor cardstock and adding water to it. I love to let it air dry because I think it looks more natural this way. Isn't it awesome how the powder reacts with the water? Perfect for this card :-)

I used the second largest of the 'single stitch line tag-corner rectangle frames' to diecut the paper. I also diecut 4 white frames with the die which I stacked together.

With two stamps included in the cute chemists set I created the background on a white cardbasis. I used a grey ink for it and colored in some of the hearts with Prismacolor colored pencils.

I stamped the sweet chemist and colored it with the same medium. After diecutting him I could assemble the card. I adhered all the pieces onto the white cardbase and added the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock which I adhered with foam tape.

To wrap things up I created another short photo story you can watch here:

You are the bessst | Lawn Fawn

Hello there! So it took me some time but I finally made my first double slider surprise card ♥ I had this idea to make a jungle book themed card a while ago and the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge "happy little critters" was perfect for it. It was so much fun finding all the different characters in the Lawn Fawn sets!

First I stamped all the sweet images from 'critters in the jungle', 'Ahoy, matey', 'mermaid for you', 'love you tons' and 'critters in the snow' with Memento tuxedo black ink.

To create a jungle book card I needed a Mogli so I went through my stash and chose the set 'bicycle built for you'. I half stamped the boy/man, masking off the arms and feet. I didn't want to have the end of the t-shirt and jeans so I could make it look that he only wears a short.

Then I diecut the image and completed the hands and feet with a Copic friendly pen. I also draw a very simple short (well, I cannot draw, unfortunately).

After coloring it with Copic markers it didn't look soooo bad ;-)

It was time for the 'double slider surprise' dies. I diecut the middle/slider piece and used a stamp packaging to wrap it around. Then I diecut the pocket and insert pieces twice. For the outside I used distress oxide inks. I chose mowed lawn, peeled paint and antique linen.

After assembling the slider mechanism I could decorate the card. I used nearly all the images and was happy how it turned out.

For the sentiment I diecut the banner die from the double slider surprise set and diecut it from craft cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment from critters in the jungle with white embossing powder.

For the cardbase I chose the same craft cardstock as for the banner. I decorated the front with a piece of the beautiful craft woodgrain cardstock from Lawn Fawn.

I decided to add a bit of gathered twigs distress ink to the cardbase and the banner for more interest. Last but not least I adhered the slider mechanism onto the cardbase using two layers of brown fun foam.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you like the double slider surprise card and I am sure I will be faster the 2nd time ;-)
