Caardvarks Hop - Day 2

Hey Everyone! Welcome to day 2 of the Caardvarks blog hop! The more I played with Core'dinations cardstock the more fun I had! There are so many fun techniques to explore.

Since the inside of the paper is a different color than the top when you tear it, sand it, crinkle it or emboss it you get a fun two toned look. On this card I embossed the cardstock with my Cuttlebug then sanded the top! Easy and fun!


Materials:
[Hi There Owl Card]
Stamps: Hero Arts Four Owls
Paper: Core'dinations Core Essentials
Ink: ColorBox Chalk, Memories Black Die
Other: Hero Arts Flower, Making Memories Brads, Hero Arts Black Gems, Machine Stitching, C'Bug Embossing Folder

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 !
