Little Signage Agenda with Vera

 Hi, there! It's Vera here today and I'll be sharing my project with you featuring Mama Elephant Little Signage Agenda stamp set. 

Here I created two cards by paired the Little Signage Agenda with the sentiments from Easy Sentiments and Friendship Sentiments

First, I stamped the Little Signage Agenda on Copic-friendly paper and cut it out with Little Signage Agenda - Creative CutsNext, I die cut the Big You Are Loved - Creative Cuts and I cut with a scissor to take apart the word "love you". For the sentiments, I heat embossed the Easy Sentiments with white embossing powder and cut it out with Easy Sentiments - Creative Cuts

Fyi, the tiny bear and bunny are from the Little Toy Machine stamp set.

For the 1st card, I want to write a special message with a doodle-ing tiny image on the Little Signage Agenda

"you are my sun, my moon, and my stars
I'm lucky to have a friend like you
love you
you bring me joy
you make the world a nicer place"


For the second card, I combined with the Friendship Sentiments.


last, I use the Little Signage Agenda and Just a Note set in my journaling book.


Thank you for joining me, I hope you enjoy today's inspiration and see you next time!

Eggtasic with Megan

Hi friends! This is Megan here and I have an Easter themed card to share with you today. It features the latest set illustrated by Aida Zamora called Eggtastic. I paired it with the Mega Flipper - Creative Cuts and love how it turned out!

I began by stamping images from Eggtastic onto 80 lb Neenah Solar White Smooth Cardstock using a warm brown hybrid ink. I then colored the images using Copic Markers and cut them out using the coordinating Eggtastic - Creative Cuts.


For the Mega Flipper, I die cut the scalloped rectangles in the set from white cardstock. I then masked the edges off using Post It Tape. (I learned this trick from watching the amazing Nichol Sphor. I love how it keeps a crisp white outline without having to add another layer.) I lightly ink blended the panels using a blending brush. For the sky, I used Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. For the grass, I used two shades of green dye ink and flicked on diluted Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink to add a bit of texture. 


To give the flipping rectangles a finished look, I die cut the scalloped rectangles from a coordinating green cardstock and adhered them to the back of each of the scene panels. This is by no means necessary, but adds a little extra something. 


I love how the Mega Flipper is so easy to assemble and allows you to have mulitiple scenes on one card!

 
 I planned out which images that I wanted on each panel and adhered them down using liquid glue. 


For the sentiment, I stamped the large "happy blessings" from Eggtatic. I then die cut the scalloped rectangle from the Sweet Feline - Creative Cuts. (The scalloped edge of this die matches the scene panels so well.) I again masked off the edges using Post It Tape and ink blended the panel with an aqua hybrid ink. Finally, I die cut a piece of patterned paper for the main panel using the largest rectangle from Peek A Frame - Creative Cuts. 

Thank you so much for visiting with us on the Mama Elephant Blog! There is a video on the Mama Elephant YouTube Channel showing how to assemble the Mega Flipper that Rina Galit made.  I will link it here in case you would like to check it out. I have also listed the Mama Elephant products that I used for today's card below with links to the Mama Elephant Shop for your convenience. Have a great day!

Eggtastic with Nichol

Hello friends! Nichol here today with a slimline Easter card featuring the brand new Eggtastic Stamp Set, Eggtastic Creative Cuts Dies, and Slim Fancy Fence Creative Cuts Dies paired with a grass border die from the previously released Slim Window Dressing Creative Cuts Dies. I colored the darling Easter images with no line coloring using Tombow Dual Brush Markers. The result it a soft and pretty pastel card perfect for spring!

The images from the Eggtastic Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with a no line ink and colored in with the following Tombow Dual Brush Markers color combinations:

  • Bunnies: 992 Sand, 990 Light Sand, 800 Baby Pink, N00 Blender

The images were die cut with the coordinating Eggtastic Creative Cuts Dies.

For the background scene, the Slim Fancy Fence Creative Cuts Dies frame was cut twice from smooth white cardstock. From one of the inner rectangles, the fence and a Slim Window Dressing Creative Cuts Dies grass border were die cut.

The "sky" was inked with a couple of shades of aqua dye inks. Greetings from the Eggtastic Stamp Set were stamped along the top of the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The "grass: was inked with a light green dye ink.

One of the doily lace border frames was adhered to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" slimline card base. The "sky" background was adhered inside the frame. The grass border was adhered along the bottom edge. The fence was tucked into place but not glued down yet. The images were all adhered in place as shown. Little dabs of glue were added behind the fencing as needed. The remaining frame was adhered in place to finish the card.
