Enjoy the Ride

Hi Everyone! Today I want to share a card with you that was just featured in the CARDS blog. You can see it HERE. The challenge was to use woodgrain so I picked up my favorite Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp and added it as a backdrop to my little bicycle scene.


The clouds are scallop punches, cut roughly in half and then distressed with light blue chalk ink. I got this idea from Betsy Veldman. She used her scallop pieces to mask. Genius!

The bike and sentiment are from Everyday Button Bits. I gently curved the sentiment then cut the banner around it to fit. I also used the Rickrack die to make the grass and added some black stitching to finish it off.


All paper and buttons are Papertrey ink.

Hope you have a great day!

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 !

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. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment. I...
