Bella Blvd: Mummy Attack!

Hi! Halloween is just around the corner and my kids are SO excited! Costumes are picked out, crafts are being made...it's a fun time of the year! I created this card for Bella Blvd a few weeks back but saved it to share this month. :) Bella's Halloween line, Halloween Magic, is adorable. Ghosts with bow ties? Sweet wrapped mummys? Yes please!  This ghosty patterned paper is my favorite from the line. I die cut a window in it from Paper Smooches' Stitched Frames Dies  (this has been a go to die for me lately) and back mounted the mummy image. I added a few fun colored embellishments and layered it all over the orange patterned paper.  Because people always ask....A few stores that carry this line are A Cherry on Top HERE  and Scrapbook.com HERE  or of course you can check your local scrapbook store. :)

Mama Elephant: Peek a Frame

Hi, Ashley here ready to show you more ideas using Mama Elephant's new Peek a Frames! The layering possibilities are endless! I started with the large, card size, frame in white. Then I layered the next size but arranged on it's side and trimmed the extra. Next, I added a tag from Tags a Lot  and then added the rounded journaling card from Peek a Frame . Last, be  definitely not least, I inked up In My Heart  to stamp with sweet little girl and sentiment. I hope you enjoyed seeing another fun way to use the amazing Peek a Frames! 

Mama Elephant: Winter Wonderland

Hello! Today I'm sharing the new Creative Cuts that were just released for the Winter Wonderland stamp set. This is one of my favorite holiday sets so I am thrilled that the dies have been released! This card was really inspired by the sentiment I used from the Winter Wonderland stamp set. After I chose my sentiment I stamped the deer in sparkly gold ink then die cut them out.  I stamped the sentiment next on the scalloped tag from Tags a Lot  and then ground it with the banner from the same die set. I set the scene with the medium sized tag, again from Tags a Lot and then added a few coordinated patterned papers.  A little more sparkle was added to the card with some sequins and enamel dots. I'm so excited to have another card done for Christmas! Thanks for joining me today!

Mama Elephant: Tag A Lot

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing another fun project you can make using the new Tags a Lot Creative Cuts. For this project, I dressed up a simple gift bag using three of the dies found in Tags a Lot . First I die cut the largest tag from patterned paper. Next I layered in the medium sized tag and stamped it with one of my all time favorite sentiments from Confetti . To bring attention to the sentiment, I die cut the banner in Tags a Lot twice and wraped it around the medium tag. I chose the simple hole reinforcer die for my tag, also included in the Tags a Lot die set. A few enamel dots, twine and some gold glitter finished off my project. Gift giving just got easier with these awesome dies! I can't wait to make more tags!

Crate Paper: Composition

Pinterest is bursting with great ideas for composition. The elements of almost any picture can be broken down, studied and put towards new creative ideas! Photo Credit: Evanyaru This picture, of concrete painted candle holders grabbed my attention almost immediately. There are so many fun, trendy elements going on, I was inspired and ready to create! First up, I wanted to recreate the stacked feel to the picture. To do this I took a journaling card from Notes & Things and found three colorful embellishments and adhered them to the card from largest to smallest, just like the pictured. Since the background of my inspiration was mostly white, I chose a larger journaling card that matched this idea to be the background of my card. I love the playful colors popping out in the picture so I have a few colorful surprises above and below the smaller journaling card. The sentiment was the finished the card and adds a natural element too!  I h...

Mama Elephant: Peek a Frames

Hi! Ashley here today sharing a card with the new Peek a Frames dies! I love layering and these dies are the perfect set to do just that! I created my card with the three largest dies from the set. You'll notice in the smallest die, that I cut two pieces of cardstock and then used the Landscape Trio  to create a sweet landscape. All the stitching is so trendy and matches perfectly! Next, I stamped, die cut and colored the sheep from Carnival Cupcakes  and added a sentiment with the die cut banner from Sweet Havana . I love the unique details in the frames included in Frames a Lot and how it works so effortlessly with all the other ME dies and stamps! 

Mama Elephant: Tags A Lot

 Hi Everyone! Ashley here introducing one of the newest Creative Cuts, Tag a Lot! This die set is packed full of some amazing tags and more! I used two of the tags here to ground the adorable lion from Carnival Cupakes . Did you notice the sweet scallops and trendy stitching details on the tags?!? The sentiment is from In My Heart  and fits perfectly in the word bubble from Polaroid Fun . These new tag dies are front and center on my desk because I love them so much! I know you'll love them too. ;) Thanks for joining me today!
