Carried Away with Anna

Hello! Today I'm on Mama Elephant's blog showcasing Carried Away stamp set with Rainbow High Creative Cuts. The perfectly work together and I made this little scene with them. I decided not to use figures of kids on my card and to pay some attention to small but cute rabbits and bears. I stamped, colored and cut some these tiny toys (yea they are toy rabbits and bears and they are on their way to some sweet child carring congratulations and hugs). Also I prepared three balloon strings also from Carried Away set.   

 

Then I prepared the background (the sky on the card) and three balloons from Rainbow High. For both of these parts of my card I used the same colors to blend them - soft shades of blue, pink and yellow - look so good together! Also I cut some clouds with Rainbow High dies and then just gathered all my elements together. 

 

 I stuck two balloons, all clouds and some of tiny figures directly on the colored card base with the glue and the left balloon with cute bunny on it. Then I stuck it with the foam tape to add some dimension. 

Have a good day!

 

Carried Away with Nichol

Hello everyone! Nichol here today with a Designer Series card featuring the new Carried Away Stamp Set, Carried Away Creative Cuts Dies, and Rainbow High Creative Cuts Dies. I love how easy it is to create high flying scene cards with these amazing new stamps and dies!

I started this birthday card by building the background of the scene first. I die cut two A2 sized stitched rectangle panels from smooth white cardstock using a Peek A Frame Creative Cuts Die. From one of the panels I die cut a cloud border using a Landscape Trio Creative Cuts Die. I die cut some additional clouds from smooth white cardstock using the Rainbow High Creative Cuts Dies and die cut a rainbow from white cardstock as well.

On the background panel I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I also applied the Tumbled Glass Distress Ink very, very lightly to the bottom of the Landscape Trio panel and clouds.

For the rainbow, I trimmed apart each section and then applied Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Milled Lavender Distress Inks to the rainbow and set them aside. For the small red heart from the one small cloud, I applied Festive Berries Distress Ink.

On the cloud border along the bottom of the card, I stamped a greeting from the Carried Away Stamp Set in Intense Black Ink. The balloon, boy, bunny, and balloon string from the Carried Away Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. 

Here are the marker combinations I used for the images :

BALLOON: 036, 032

BOY: 071, 072, 026, 036, 032, 021, 022, 090, 097

BUNNY: 090, 097, 026

Once the ink was dry, I die cut the images with the coordinating Carried Away Creative Cuts Dies. I assembled the card as shown and finished the design with a sprinkling of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and mini gold star confetti.

Unicorns and Rainbows with Laura

Hello there! Laura here and today I'm sharing a project featuring the new Unicorns and Rainbows stamp set along with the Rainbow High creative cuts.

 

This set brings back fun memories of my childhood obsession with Lisa Frank stickers. I had some seriously cool sticker books back in the day:)

 

I colored the unicorn and rainbow with Copics. It was much easier to cut the strips in the rainbow apart to color them. Loving how that sentiment fits inside the rainbow like it was meant to be.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

February Release and STAMPEDE!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

www.mamaelephant.com

I created a clean and not so simple card using the new Unicorns and Rainbows and Labeled Messages stamps. I also used Framed Tags - Madison Avenue for the scallop frame and the cute little cloud from Rainbow High.



I thought Labeled Messages would be so cute stamped in these happy colors to give the otherwise white over white card a pop of color. The colors used were Blush, Rainwater, Bubblegum, and Buttercup. They look like candy!

FEBRUARY PRODUCT REVIEW

Good evening everyone!  We hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's Day! Tonight we are releasing 4 new Stamp Sets and 4 new Creative Cuts! We hope you love them as much as we do! <3

INTRODUCING: Labeled Messages

Happy Valentine's Day!

My card uses two of the kids getting carried away by a giant red balloon from Carried Away. The balloon is from the new Rainbow High Creative Cuts, also being released this month. It's so a fun offset shape! I love how bold the sentiment from Labeled Messages look! It's so modern. :)

INTRODUCING: Carried Away

Welcome back to today's Intro post! Today is a reallllyyyyy special one as it is one of follow-up sets that we plan to introduce in the coming year. There are some ME sets that have become so loved and timeless that many of you begged for more! So, today we introduce to you Carried Away, the addition to Up and Away!

Carried Away is designed in the same style and even matching sentiments, but now the critters have got some kiddie friends to get carried away with!

I chose to use the balloon from the Carried Away set and the bunny from the original Up and Away set. The tiny cloud is from Unicorns and Rainbows. I love how free flowing this card came out with the soft colors!

Angela sure got a bit carried away with this set. She was so intrigued by all the interactive cards out there, she decided to give one a try.

Here we present to you, a Magic Slider Card using the Carried Away stamp set and the Rainbow High creative cuts.

Here is a little video of the card in action.
