Mama Elephant: Sentiment Borders

Note: It's a double post day! Check out my Bella Blvd card HERE.

Great background sets are a stampers best friend. They may seem boring in the package but Sentimental Borders from Mama Elephant packs a punch. Normally when I first get a stamp set I stamp it a few times on scratch paper just to get the feel of the images. This card IS my test run. It just came out perfect the first time. LOVE that it's SO easy.

So I stamped the birthday Sentimental Borders background several times. As you can see, it all lines up easily without much effort. Then I stamped and die cut my sentiment from Bloomsies and the cupcake from Carnival Cupcakes with matching dies.

I think this is my favorite cupcake yet! The top of the cupcake and bow were lightly colored with Prisma pencils. Oh, I used all ME inks too (Smoke, Winter, Orangeade, Blush, and Bubblegum).

Thanks for stopping by!

Such a pretty card. The long twine ends lend an airy touch and now I want cupcakes!

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 !

Mama Elephant March Stampede!

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. I trimmed it down to fit inside of the Instalove Creative Cuts and stamped the sentiment. I know you'll agree that stamping this set is super fun but first...
