Pix's Favorite and Hillside Cover with Deasy

Hi! It's Deasy here and I have a card for you today using Pix's Favorite, Hillside Cover Creative Cuts and I also combine it with Butterfly Kisses. I make a sweet scene with a lovely bunny holding a butterfly and they also fly towards you.

Mama Elephant supply that I'm using :

Pix's Favorites for the bunny image

Pix Favorites Creative Cuts to die cut the bunny image

Hillside Cover Creative Cuts to die cut the background

Butterfly Kisses for the butterflies and sentiment

Butterfly Kisses Creative Cuts to die cut the butterflies

I stamp, coloring the images using Copic then die cut it. For the little butterflies, I stamp it with yellow pigment ink then die cut it. The sentiment is from white embossing powder. To coloring the background, first I masking all the corner then I'm using Dye Ink with blending tool and splash some water with my brush.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Monster Jam with Anna

Hello, friends! Anna is here today with you to share my It's Party Time card hihglighting Monster Jam set. I like these cute critters, and I chose the bright colors for them . And not only because the are so fun and cards with them are always cute and bright - I want to tell you a secret - they remind me teeth! Hehe)) Don't you think so? The party with thу monsters are always full of fun and noises, and I added the sounds words on my card. 

 

Also I put every monster on its own circle tag I cut with Framed Tags - Columbus Circle - Creative Cuts, and I added a grass for them - cut the grassy stripe with Grassy Trio creative cuts and the cut it with Framed Tags again, so they have the circle form I need. 

 

The background is blended with Distress inks and sprinckled with the water to get the spots lookling like confetti, and the monsters are also covered with Wink of Stella (you can see the snall white points on teh last picture - this is the shining of Stella). 

 

Have a good day!

Hello my fellow Mama Elephant lovers! Today I'm the guest blogger for ME featuring two of their brand new stamp sets. I've got three cards and three tags to share with you!

The first stamp set I worked with is Monster Jam. The little monsters are small, so they work perfectly on the Mama Elephant tags from their Framed Tags die set. I made three tags:

I made shaker tags by using both of the tag dies with fun foam between them. I filled them with multi-color sequins. I watercolored the tag front on each.

 

 

 

I stamped the monsters in a light tan ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I then outlined them with a fine tip black marker. I curved the sentiments in the set to stamp them on the top of each tag.

I stamped all four of the monsters, the confetti, and the little words randomly over watercolor paper. I painted them all and then painted between them with shimmery pearlescent watercolor (or a Wink of Stella pen would work for this type of sheen). 

I stamped the sentiment on a stitched banner and added some twine to the top of the card. I also added some white 4mm sequins around the images.

My next two cards use the darling Pix's Favorite stamp set. 

I used a frame die from the same Framed Tags die-set. I use these dies so much! I watercolored the frame and attached it to a white card base.

I stamped the bunnies and accessories in tan ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I outlined them with a fine tip black marker. I stamped the sentiment above them on the card base and added some white sequins.

This card is made from watercolor paper that I painted with purples and pinks. I die-cut a stitched frame out of the top of the card base and stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card.

I stamped all of the bunnies and accessories and colored them with Copic markers. I added some of the little leaves colored in purples to match the background. I think trees in bunnyville have purple leaves, don't they?

I hope you enjoyed my creations today. I certainly enjoyed making them! Working (rather playing) with Mama Elephant stamps is always a pleasure for me!

Cub Cuddles with Laura

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a project featuring the adorable new Cub Cuddles stamp set with coordinating creative cuts.

 

I love these sweet images and couldn't resist creating a scene with the two bears holding the cute banner. The grassy hill was die cut with one of the Landscape Trio creative cuts.

  

All the images were colored with Copics and popped up with foam tape. I'm in love with that teeny tiny birdie perched on the banner. 

 

My favorite thing, though, is the soft rainbow cluster of heart balloons. I used a white gel pen to add a little reflection on the balloons. Thanks so much for stopping by!
