Mama Elephant March Release Stampede

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

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

I have two cards to share with today. The first card features the adorable and heartwarming Hippity Hop set.

To begin, I stamped the bunnies with light gray Copic friendly ink and colored them with Copics. I created the fur texture with Prismacolor pencils and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I inked the background panel with Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet and Faded Jeans. I used a white gel pen to add the stars.

I used All Prettied Up Creative Cuts to create the front panel and the die-cut circle in the middle. On the panel, I embossed the sentiment "Some Bunny Loves You" from Honey Bunny in silver.

To assemble the card, I mounted the front panel on top of the background panel with foam tape for dimension. Then, I adhered a hill panel inside the circle that was made using Hillside Cover Creative Cuts  (it's actually a leftover piece I saved from my previous project). It was inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. To finish,  I mounted the bunnies with foam squares as shown.

The second card is a simple but fun wobbling card that features the Inside Pop Bunny and Cat - Creative Cuts and Lots Of Letters stamp set. I think Inside Pop Bunny and Cat - Creative Cuts is a must have! It's such a versatile set, you can create really cute interactive pop up cards with it or just use the die-cut cat or bunny for other fun projects as I did in my card here.

  I stamped the sentiment using Lots Of Letters on a trimmed light blue cardstock. Love love love this stamp set, didn't the sentiment come out so cute?! This set comes with all these fun letters that allows you to create your own sentiments to personalize your project. I used the Misti stamping tool to help me line up the letters and stamped them as shown.

I die-cut the parts of the cat from Inside Pop Bunny and Cat - Creative Cuts and glued on pieces to make the face and paws.  I adhered the tail and the body to the front panel.

I made the cat's head wobble with a handmade wobbler. It's super easy to make, you take a thin craft wire and twirl it around the pencil few times. I adhered (I used Scotch tape) one end of the wire to the back of the cat's head and the other to the front panel. To finish, I attached the front panel to a top folding A2 sized base.
