Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Hey everyone! More on my absense on my next post... I wanted to jump right back in to things and Paper Smooches Sparks challenge was just the ticket!


The inspiration braclet is so fun! So much inspiration. You could make a whole set of different cards just from this one picture. Love that.



My first card uses Paper Smooches Hang Ups and Sentiment Sampler along with PTI's Banner Builder. I was inspired by the beautiful chaos created by all the overlapping strands of beads.


Next up, I took and completely different look at the braclet and was inspired by the sparkle and overall pattern (translated in to patterned paper).

Thanks for the fun challenge Kim! See you all soon!

Mama Elephant Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! The newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store! www.mamaelephant.com I created a card with three of the new stamp sets. It features Freestyle Florals plus stamps from Zenith Borders and Bear Hugs.  I started by die cutting a white mat from Femme Frames . Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves from Freestyle Florals in several colors of pigment ink . I sponged a few coordinating colors around the edges. Next I die cut a tag from Tags a Lot . I didn't need the entire tag so I used the Femme Frames die again to trim off the top which added the stitched border.  I stamped the sentiment from Bear Hugs and the branches from Femme Frames. The card was finished with my favorite background from Zenith Borders. This is a knock out release. I know you'll love it! To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is picking 3 winners to win their choice of stamp set...
