Christmas Card #14 | Mama Elephant

Hello everyone! I had so much fun creating the slider card from Christmas Card #12 that I decided to make another one. This time the main focus is on the 'litte agenda trains'.

I started with creating the background. I used the 'landscape trio' dies to make some DIY stencils and added color with distress oxide inks to get a winter scene. To round things up I diecut the paper with the 'sew fancy' die. I also cut a slit thouth the paper for the slider part.

Then I stamped all the images from 'little agenda trains', 'little santa agenda', 'little reindeer agenda', 'little elf agenda' and 'santa's sleigh' with Memento tuxedo ink and colored them with Copic markers. I adhered a strip of acetate to the back of the train and wagon. 

In order to prepare the slider mechanism I used foam tape on the back of the card and cut a piece of white cardstock. I adhered the acetates with the images onto the slider and added a sentiment from 'His love'.

After that I adhered all the other images to the card and chose a second sentiment from 'Christmas scene'. Last but not least I added some details with Nuvo glitter accents and Nuvo drops.

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

Hello brand new baby | My favorite things

Hello! For a friend I created this card for her new born baby girl :) I used the 'jungle friends' dies from My favorite things and made a slider card.

I started by coloring in pieces of paper with my distress inks. and scattered some water droplets to make the diecuts more interesting. Then I used the 'jungle friends' (MFT), 'simple stitched hillside borders' (LF) and the 'slide on over' (LF) dies to diecut all the images. 

For the slider effect I created a second backgound which will be behind the main card, so that the scene continues in the slider area too. Therefore I used the tree die for the second background again and created an inlay tree so that the baby elephant can slide without an obstacle.

I added all my diecuts to the scene and the baby elephant with a 1-cent-coin so that I could adhere the jungle scene with foam tape to the second layer. I have also stamped the sentiment using the 'new family' stamp set from Mama Elephant.

Last but not least I adhered the two-layer-scene with double sided adhesive to a craft cardbase, added some googly eyes to the elephants and the fun slider card was finished.

Thank you for stopping by and have a beautiful day!
