Extended Banner Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Today I thought it would be fun to show you how I like to make extended banners using Lawn Fawn stamps. I'll get right to it and show you my completed card. Then we'll look at the simple steps so you can make your own. ;)
 
 
The concept for this card started with a pile of sticky notes. Once I made sure I had a concept that worked and a sentiment that fit I started stamping on cardstock. :) So here it is, super simple...
 

First I stamped the banner I selected from Bannerific 3 times.


 
Then I trimmed each banner to be the start, middle and end to my extended banner. Next I stamped the sentiment from Lucky Stars, added a little interest to the middle using Interlocking Backdrops and glued the banner together! What do you think? You could also mask and make it one big piece but I decided to go the easy route today. :)
 


Hope you are inspired to give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!

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.

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 !
