Happy Mail with Laura

Hi there! Laura here and today I'm sharing a fun little gift card sized card & envelope featuring the new Happy Mail stamp set along with coordinating creative cuts as well as the new Venice Envelope creative cuts.

 

For the backgrounds on both my mini card & envelope, I blended in distress inks with flicks of water.

  

I used post-it tape to mask off the sides to blend ink on the front of the envelope.

 

I layered up several of the word die cuts that are part of the Venice Envelope creative cuts and adhered them on both the card front & envelope front.

  

I embossed a sentiment from Happy Mail and adhered it along with the cute panda image with foam tape. 

  

The back of the envelope has some fun details as well which are all accents included in the Venice Envelop creative cuts. This is such a cute way to package up a gift card or even give a lunch box note. Thanks so much for looking!

Rock and Paws with Vera

Hello Mama Ele-fans! It's Vera Rhuhay here! Today I have two card to shared with you all, featuring Mama Elephant Rock and Paws stamp set and Venice Envelope CC.

For my first card, I created using negative space die cuts to make a frame on my card. I stamped the images on smooth paper with Versafine - Vintage Sepia then colored it with alcohol marker and  die cut it with the coordinating dies. For the background, I blended with Distress Ink and splash with water.

Happy Mail with Pamela

Hello! This is Pamela taking over Mama Elephant's blog with a card using Happy Mail and Venice Envelope. The Venice envelope is just perfect for gift cards so I cut out an envelope from some pattern paper and put together an envelope that matches my Starbucks giftcard from Hokkaido. Using the stitched label die, I die cut a window and adhered a piece of clear plastic to showcase the beautiful gift card.

 I created a matching card for the envelope. I first masked off a flag and blended some aqua ink directly onto the cardbase. Using white paint, I painted some polka dots on the card. I love using acrylic paint since it has this nice texture when it is dried. 

 

 I stamped out the delivery bus from Happy Mail as well as the letters from Incoming Mail and coloured them with my copics. I stamped "Happy Mail" using the sentiments from Happy Mail onto the delivery bus.

  

Here is a close up of the card and the gift card envelope! 

 

Thanks for coming by!
