Mama Elephant: Designer Series {Carnival Toppers}

Hi! Ashley here with a card featuring the new stamp set Carnival Toppers!

The whole card started with the super fun sentiment. I noticed that it fit perfectly inside the new Polariod Fun Creative Cuts! I love when dies work out like that! After I die cut the large polariod in white and light grey I stamped the sentiment, blending Bubblegum & Lollipop pigment inks to create an ombre look.

I added a cupcake from Carnival Cupcakes to compliment the sentiment. I stamped the frosting in Sunshine ink, the star with Lollipop and the cupcake base with Winter and then added them to the top and bottom of my sentiment. It's fun to take a break from paper piecing and coloring every once in awhile. I love the look that you can achieve with just inks. The Mama Elephant colors are so vibrant!

My centerpiece was then added to some patterned paper and finished off with a few enamel dots and string.

Thanks for joining me today!

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 !

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store! www.mamaelephant.com I am so excited to share the new stamp set Ella & Friends with you! There are so many fun images to choose from in this set that all centers around the BEST elephant stamp ever. ;) I started my scene by stamping the elephant, then I masked in the bunny and bubble blower. Finally, I stamped the bubbles, puddle and splashes. I was SO fun to create. I colored the images with Copics and added a little ink to complete my scene.
