Make A Wish

Hello!
I actually do not have a plan or particular design for today's card. I just thought that I wanted to make a simple one layer card.

So here's the card for today.


It is a very, very simple card isn't it? 

I first cut a piece of 4 1/4" x 11" Neenah Solar White cardstock, scored and folded it in half. I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant Make A Wish stamp set in some Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed it with American Crafts Clear Embossing powder.

I then drew some curve lines onto some post-it tape and cut them out. I used them as mask and place them around the embossed sentiment. I used the circle stamps from Simon Says Stamp Lot of Dots stamp set and stamped them randomly with Hero Arts Bubblegum, Orange Soda, Butterbar, Green Hills and Cornflower inks. I peeled off the masks and voila! My card is done.

That's all for the update today.
Thanks for stopping by and check in again on Wednesday for another update!!!

Cupcake + Bunny

Hi!
I am so in love with Mama Elephant products that I just can't stop at making only 1 card with them. Today I made a very simple birthday card showcasing Mama Elephant Carnival Cupcakes stamp set.

Here's how it looks like:


I started by prepping my card base. I cut a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, scored and folded it in half. I then die cut another piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock using the largest rectangle from Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle die set.

I stamped the bunny and the cupcake onto the rectangle piece. At this point, I didn't mask off the bunny since I will be die cutting them out. I stamped another bunny onto some post-it tape and cut it out to create a mask.

I first die cut the bunny out from the rectangle piece, place the rectangle piece in the center of my card base and lightly trace the negative space with a pencil. This serves as a guide so I know where to stamp the bunny so the image is centered on my card base. I did the same for the cupcake image as well. I used the mask that I created earlier and mask off the bunny before stamping the cupcake over it.

I then colored the images in with Copics. I applied some Wink of Stella Clear glitter all over the colored image. I colored the pearls with a yellow Copic marker before adhering them to the cupcake. I popped the whole rectangle piece up with foam tapes and adhered it to my card base.

I die cut the word " Happy Birthday" twice from some red cardstock using Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday die and glued them together before adhering it across the rectangle piece. Again, I do not quite like the amount of white spaces around the card so I adhered some Pretty Pink Posh Summer Mix sequins just to fill in some of the white spaces. Lastly, I added some dots of Ranger Glossy Accent here and there.

That's all for my update today. I hope that you like my card.

Things That Fly

Hi!
It's been a while since I last blogged and also a while since I last participated in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. This week's theme is "Things That Fly" so I made a very simple card using Mama Elephant Up & Away set.

Here's how it looks like:


I first prepped my card base by cutting a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, scored and folded it in half. I then die cut the tag from some Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine pattern paper using Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 1 die.

I stamped the images from Mama Elephant Up & Away stamp set in some Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed them with American Crafts Clear embossing powder. I colored the images in with Copics and die cut them out with their coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Versafine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed it with American Crafts Clear embossing powder.

I popped the tag on some foam tapes and adhered it to the lower right corner of my card base. I then adhered all the images onto the card base with foam tapes as well. I do not like the white spaces around the images so I added some Pretty Pink Posh Summer Mix sequins and some rhinestones to fill in the white spaces.

That's all the updates for today.
