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:

Christmas Card #25 | Mama Elephant

Hi there! Finally I can share a new card design with you. Since I love combining Christmas -and New Years-Wishes I created two cards at once with super cute  Mama Elephant supplies.

I startet with stamping adorable imags from the sets 'Hogs and Kisses', 'Holiday Bitties' and 'Joy Ornaments' mit Memento tuxedo black and coloring them with Copic markers. Some of them I also decorated with Nuvo glitter accents. 

After that I prepared the backgrounds with red and blues distress inks. I faded the colors out in the centre of the cards. With the starry colors from Gansai I added some golden splatters.

I diecut the backgrounds with the die from 'Framed Tags Waverly' and heat embossed the stamp from 'Happy new Year Wishes' with golden embossing powder. Then I added the ornaments and also a diy sentiment strip.

For the inside I prepared a white cardstock and diecut the middle sized dies from the pop-up-trio set. I added the pigs with the bottle onto the pop up part. To create more interest I diecut the die from 'Dotted Details' from the panel. 

After adhering everything to the card base the cards were all done. You can find the process steps also in the following photo story: 

Thank you for stopping by and have a great new week!

Christmas Card #24 | Mama Elephant

Hello! I had some images left from the dailymarker30day challenge and finally put them into a card or a set of three cards (one Christmas and two birthday ones).

  

I started by masking off the bottom half of three white cardbases and blended some soft distress oxide colors on top of the cards. Then I diecut three frames with the 'framed tags par avenue' die and adhered them to the cardbases.

The images from 'cool penguins' were already prepared. They had been colored with Copic markers and three different color families.

Then I stamped the cute sentiment ("hope you like the present you told me to buy") from 'cool penguins' on all three cards in the upper left corner. Then I added with dye inks in the matching colors the occasion. I used the "Merry Christmas" from 'little Santa agenda' and the "Happy Birthday" from 'Cub Cuddles'.

Last but not least I added Nuvo Jewel Drops on top of the ink blending for more structure and interest.

Thank you very much for stopping by and have a great day!
