Mama Elephant January Stampede



Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!




www.mamaelephant.com


Today, I'm sharing two cards featuring The Dog's Woof stamp set. How awesome is this set? I'm totally in love with it!!



For this first card, I created the patterned background using the masking technique. I stamped the dogs using Antique Linen Distress Oxide (dried it with the heat gun to prevent ink smearing) and covered it with masking tape. I then stamped again and repeated this process until the front was covered.


For the polaroid panel, I die-cut white Bristol cardstock with the Big Frame from Polaroid Fun Creative Cuts. I stamped the dogs on the inside frame and colored them with Copics. I mounted the polaroid panel with foam tape for dimension. For the sentiment, I die-cut brown cardstock using the "Hello" die three times from the On the Hills Creative Cuts. I glued the pieces together and adhered it to the front as shown.


My second card is a fun and simple outdoor scene. Once again, I stamped the dogs on white Bristol cardstock and colored it with Copics. Then, I used the cooordinating Creative Cut to cut them out. To create the cloud panel, I die-cut acetate with the Cloud Border die from the Landscape Trio Creative Cuts to make a stencil. I used the stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide with a blending tool to make the clouds. After, I stamped the sentiment from Scripty Bday stamp set with black ink.


 The grass was die-cut with a die from Grassy Trio Creative Cuts and I blended it with Mowed Lawn and Peel Paint Distress Inks. To finish, I mounted the dogs with foam tape onto the cloud panel and adhered the grass on top.

  64. I already loved the Dog group stamp - but I love it even more on your card that you made look like a Polaroid! My first camera was a Polaroid and your card made me smile and remember using that camera to take some pretty awful pictures (I was 11 and had never used a camera before) and have some amazing times taking those awful pictures. :)
