ME STAMP HIGHLIGHTS: SCRIPTY XMAS /JOY ORNAMENTS

Hello and welcome to the Mama Elephant Anniversary Release Stamp Highlight! Today, the design team is highlighting the Joy Ornaments and Scripty-Xmas stamp sets.

My first card features the Scripty-Xmas along with the Yappy Woofmas and the little birds from the Oh Kitty Tree. I also used the On The Hills Creative Cuts to build my scene.


To begin, I Copic colored the stamped images from Yappy Woofmas and Oh Kitty Tree and cut them out with the coordinating Oh Kitty Tree - Creative Cuts and Yappy Woofmas Creative Cuts.


The A2 sized front panel was ink blended with Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachios Distress Inks. Once dried, I heat embossed the sentiment from Scripty-Xmas in white. The hill panels and the tiny trees were die-cut with the dies from On The Hills Creative Cuts. I lightly inked blended the top of the hills with Peacock Feathers and Copic colored the trees. Then, I added splatters of water and Copic Opaque White to create snow.


To finish, I adhered the panels and the images with doubled sided tape or foam tape.

For my second card today, I combined the Joy Ornaments with the Little Elf Agenda, the O Tiny Tree and the Pegworks - Creative Cuts.


To begin, I Copic colored the stamped the images from the Joy Ornaments and the two elves from the Little Elf Agenda and cut them out with the coordinating Joy Ornaments Creative Cuts and Little Snowman Agenda Creative Cuts. To add some texture and shine to the ornaments, I added a layer of Wink of Stella and Glossy Accent. After it completely dried, I added the white dots with a gel pen as shown. 


I inked blended the front panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and stamped the top with the pine tree from the O Tiny Tree stamp set. Then, I silver embossed the strings and the sentiment from the Joy Ornaments. 



To finish, I foam mounted the frame that I die-cut using the Pegworks - Creative Cuts and the images as shown. 


Thank you for visiting me today!
Happy stamping!
Hugs, Amy

ME STAMP HIGHLIGHT: LITTLE SNOWMAN AGENDA

Hello and welcome to the Mama Elephant Anniversary Release Stamp Highlight! Today, the design team is highlighting the Little Snowman Agenda stamp set.

 I made a fun shaker card that features the adorable Little Snowman Agenda stamp set along with the Galactic Cover Creative Cuts and Grid Window Creative Cuts.


To begin, I Copic colored the stamped images from Little Snowman Agenda and cut them out with the coordinating Little Snowman Agenda Creative Cuts.


I die-cut the background panel with the Galactic Cover Creative Cuts and ink blended it with Distress Oxides. Then, I adhered the panel to a top folding white card base.


The shaker window panels were die-cut using the Grid Window Creative Cuts. I die-cut the panels eight times and glued seven of them together, adhering them to the background panel. Into each of the small squares, I added some Diamond Dust for the shaker element. 

On the top shaker window panel, I adhered a trimmed acetate heat embossed with the "Let it Snow" sentiment from the Wishful Taggins stamp set. Then, I mounted the top panel on top of the other glued panels to close the shaker windows. 


After, I adhered the snowmen to the card front as shown. To finish, I added splatters of Copic Opaque White to create more snow.

Thank you for visiting me today! I hope you enjoyed my card.
Happy stamping!
Hugs, Amy

To begin, I die-cut the snowman's head (smooth white), scarf (Birthday Blowout Paper Pack), hat (Black Licorice), the band (Red Hot), carrot (Orange Zest) and snowflakes (Smooth White) using the Filled with Joy Die-namics. Then, to make the snowman's body, I die-cut the smooth white cardstock with the Ocean View Porthole Die-namics and used the negative piece. To make the small snowmen, I used the Scenic Snow Globe Die-namics. I assembled the snowmen as shown. Don't they look so cute together?


To make my front panel, I ink blended A2 sized Snow Cone cardstock with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide. I added splatters of water and Copic Opaque White to create the snow. 

For the hill panels, I used the Snow Drifts Die-namics. To add sparkle to the die-cut snowflakes and the hills I applied glue and dusted it with Diamon Dust.

My first card today features another super cute stamp set, Cool Penguins. To begin, I Copic colored the stamped penguins and cut them out with the coordinating Cool Penguins Creative Cuts.


To make the front panel, I stamped the non-penguin stamps from the set to make my soft-colored patterned background using gray ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Cool Penguins in white on black cardstock and trimmed it out.


To finish, I foam mounted the sentiment and the penguins to the card front as shown. 


My second card features the adorable and whimsical Santa's Sleigh stamp set. Once again, I  Copic colored the stamped images and cut them out with the Santa's Sleigh Creative Cuts. 


My front panel was die-cut with the new Galactic Cover Creative Cuts and I ink blended with Distress Oxides. 

The sentiment from Santa's Sleigh stamp set was heat embossed in white and cut out with a paper trimmer.


 I foam mounted the images as shown. Then, I added splatters of Copic Opaque White to the images and the front panel to create more snow. To finish, I foam mounted the sentiment to the panel.

Thank you for visiting me today! I hope you enjoyed my projects.

ME STAMP HIGHLIGHT - YAPPY WOOFMUS

Hello and welcome to the Mama Elephant Anniversary Release Stamp Highlight! Today, the design team is highlighting the adorable Yappy Woofmas stamp set. 



To begin, I Copic colored the stamped images from Yappy Woofmas and cut them out with the coordinating Yappy Woofmas Creative Cuts. I also Copic colored the string of lights hanging in the card front from Swinging Borders and fussy cut them out. I applied Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to the lights, as well as the string of lights around the dog behind the door. 

I inked blended the background panel with Distress Oxides and a brick stencil and stamped the sentiment from Scripty Xmas. 

I die-cut the door using the Fancy Door Frame Creative Cuts. Then, I took an A2 size teal cardstock and cut the center out with a die (almost the same size as the door) from Basic Rectangles Creative Cuts. After, I dry embossed the panel with a brick embossing folder and adhered the door to the center with tape. To make the scene look like it's snowing, I splattered the front panel with diluted white paint.

To finish, I foam mounted the front panel to the background panel and adhered the colored images as shown. 

Thank you for visiting me today! Happy stamping!
Hugs, Amy
