Shape Challenge at Caardvarks

Hey Everybody! I'm back to let you know about another fun challenge that just started over at Caardvarks. Its all about shapes! Just create a card in any shape (other that the usual square & rectangle) and be entered to win a prize!!! Check out the details HERE.

For my card I created an ow.! Love them!!! I kept this little guy pretty simple and just focused on the shape. I created the template from scratch based on a stuffed animal my daughter has from Pottery Barn Kids. I can just imagine making a whole family of these little guys...wouldn't that be fun?

Paper: PTI
Stamps: Hero Arts Raindrop Background
Ink: PTI Ink, Hero Arts Flower, American Crafts Buttons

Thanks for stopping by! Have fun with this challenge and be sure it drop a note if you make your own owl shaped card! I would love to see 'em!

Mama Elephant: November Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! You should have arrived here from Geralyn's blog .  The newest release is now live and available for purchase in their store HERE ! The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats.

Mama Elephant: October Anniversary Stampede!

It's Mama Elephant Birthday Stampede time!  This is so awesome, right? I'm so excited you've joined me from Stephanie's blog! Today I'm a sharing a lot of stamping goodness! Now that I'm counting, my card uses 4 new Mama Elephant stamp sets ! This card all started with the sentiment. My kids are always buzzing around the house singing and one of their favorite is Everything is Awesome (Lego Movie anyone?). :) I started with a faint pencil line to create AWESOME from the new Block Party Letters . I colored them in with Copics and then did some creative masking and stamping from Happy Everything to add the beginning of the sentiment. Next I stamped the penguin and hat (from the new Artic Penguins ), colored them and die cut them for a perfect cut. The soft, grey striped background was created using the new Boutique Borders . All stamps and dies can be purchased NOW at the Mama Elephant store HERE . Next up? The very talented JJ Bolton !
