Freesia with guest designer Eun Ji Jung!

Hi folks, please give a warm welcome to Miss Eun Ji on the blog today! She is the brilliant illustrator behind the gorgeous Freesia stamp set. I always think it's appropriate and best to let the original designer showcase their designs! Watch how she flawlessly executes this beautiful set!

Hello MME friends. Eunji here.

Today I am sharing a floral card for Mama Elephant. I am so excited because Freesia stamp set design by I, lol.

I started stamping the freesia image stamp on watercolor paper with Distress ink called Tattered Rose.And colored with watercolor using Rembrant watercolor paint then fussy cut leaving thin white border. And the freesia image paper piece adhered to the 4x6 inch size watercolor panel with foam tape. Next drew the leaves behind the freesia image with watercolor paint. And lastly stamped the sentiment stamp with black ink.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a nice day~^^

Iconic Letters with Laura

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a fun project to share featuring the Iconic Letters stamp set.

 

I saw this hilarious quote on a t-shirt and had to try it on a card. 

 

I stamped the sentiment using the Iconic Letters stamp set and several Mama Elephant pigment inks. I added some cute little pom poms using my pom pom maker and clipped them on the side. 

 

It's so fun to be able to customize any sentiment under the sun using Iconic Letters. Thanks so much for stopping by!

INTRODUCING: His Love + Cute Basket CC

This is such a beautifully hand-lettered design by the amazing Paola Esteron!

With such a gorgeous statement, I thought going simple was the best route as to not overpower the sentiment.

For my card, I watercolored the background using the fun straw blowing technique. The added sentiment of "believe in miracles" was short and sweet!

My next project is a fun one I'm excited to introduce! Now you can create this adorable 3d basket that is perfect for Easter treats or any special occasion to house favors and goodies! The finished basket is a generous size as it can easily hold two eggs!

My favorite is the the pretty scallop detail of the handle! You can really add your own flair to this basket by playing with various color combos. (Please do note: Brads (not included) are required to put the basket together.)

I didn't have time to shop for faux grass, so I used our Grassy Trio die to finish the look.

The cute bunny is from Pix's Favorites. 

INTRIDUCING: Lil' Painters + FBA Bunny CC

Welcome back to another Intro with Lil' Painters and a new accessory set for our Favor Bags just in time for Easter! I had a lot of fun drawing these pudgy bunnies and these cute lil' chickies! They are so ready to paint and make a splash!

Here's a card using some water colors and a sentiment from Honey Bunny

We are also so excited to present to you this cute bunny accessory creative cut set for our favor bags. It comes with a cute little bow and flower to adorn to your bunny. You just need to paste the shapes right on the bag and Voila!

Our friend Vanessa had asked if they would work with our Gable boxes and guess what? It kinda does!

Thanks for joining us today!

INTRODUCING: Iconic Letters

Hey hey hey!

Welcome to the Intro post for Iconic Letters! It's a straight forward alphabet set, right? Yes and no! You can create quite a bunch of looks wth this single stamp set! I stamped the word HEY HEY HEY and colored directly on top with Copic markers, I find it a bit easier to do than attempting to line up the letters and still looks great!

Here's my card. I wanted to create like a confetti scene using Copic marker speckles as the confetti. To make it more realistic, I purposely added more specks on the top of the characters so it looks more natural. I love the subtle explosion of color against the white!

The balloons are from Balloon Et Cetera, a favorite of mine! And those chick? You'll see more of them soon!
