Mama Elephant Video

December 15, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects over on the Mama Elephant YouTube channel featuring products from their November release.

Mama Elephant-Word Cover TYSM, The Cat's Meow

This first card uses the adorable Word Cover TYSM Creative Cut. I adhered strips of cardstock behind the negative space and added a sweet kitty from The Cat’s Meow inside the letter o.

My second card uses the new Striallop Diagonal Creative Cut which I used with rainbow strips of cardstock for a colorful background.

Urban City Christmas

December 8, 2021

Hi there! Just popping in with a fun, little Christmas card featuring a couple sets by Mama Elephant.

Mama Elephant-Urban City, Holiday Word Banners

I have loved this Urban City stamp set by Mama Elephant for a long time. I think it can be used for any occasion. I added the Merry Christmas using the Holiday Word Banners.

This was a labor of love, though, coloring all of these little building in rainbow order with my Copics. It was actually kind of therapeutic to sit down and slow down during the hustle and bustle.

Hoping your holiday season is off to a colorful start. Wishing you rainbows in the midst of the chaos❤️

Globies Grid Cover

October 13, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute little shaker card featuring the Globies Grid Cover by Mama Elephant.

Mama Elephant-Globies Grid Cover, Holiday Word Banners, Lil Toy Machine

I fell in love with the Globies Grid Cover when I saw Rina’s gorgeous card. I loved how she filled the shaker with mini stars and little critters so I was inspired to try something similar.

I blended distress inks behind each globe for a subtle rainbow background. I used the adorable little critters from the Lil Toy Shop set to add to each globe along with mini iridescent star confetti.

For the sentiment I used the Holiday Word Banners. I love this soft, non-traditional holiday look for a change, but this could easily be adapted for a more traditional holiday look as well. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Snow Angels, Written in the Snow

My project features the Snow Angels stamp set along with the coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copics. For the background I masked off the edges with painters tape to make a clean frame. Then I blended distress inks in Cracked Pistachio & Mermaid Lagoon. I also flicked on Mermaid Lagoon and white ink for a snowy look. I stamped the large “believe” from Written in the Snow with Ocean ink and added a few sequins for embellishment.

Mama Elephant STAMPtember® Collaboration-Snow Kittens

September 16, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the latest STAMPtember® Collaboration with Mama Elephant called Snow Kittens.

How cute are these stacked kitties? For the background I used the Hillside Cover die and blended distress inks as well as flicking some inks & white ink for a snowy, hilly look.

Mama Elephant STAMPtember® Collaboration-Snow Kittens

I colored the images with Copies and embossed the sentiment in white onto Tropic Teal cardstock. I stamped a few snowflakes with Fresh Mint ink and for embellishment I added a few Lucky Shamrock sequins.

Beach Chickies

May 30, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Beach Chickies stamp set along with the coordinating Beach Chickies-Creative Cuts.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

To begin I masked off the background to blend Distress Oxides to go behind the Tri Window Cover-Creative Cut. This was my first time trying out the Life Changing Blender Brushes. Oh my goodness! Why did I ever doubt? They are amazing for a soft, subtle background blend.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

I stamped the images from Beach Chickies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copics and popped them up inside the windows of the Tri Window Cover die cut. I added a couple sentiments, also from Beach Chickies.

Mama Elephant-Beach Chickies

I could go for a sunny day on the beach. It’s been raining cats and dogs here in Illinois. Sending you lots of sunshine today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mama Elephant-Summer Splash

May 22, 2019

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Summer Splash stamp set.

Mama Elephant-Summer Splash

To begin I embossed the shoreline waves in clear and then blended color using Distress Oxide inks followed by splatters of water and liquid watercolors.

Mama Elephant-Summer Splash

I colored the images with Copcs and used the coordinating creative cuts to die cut each image. I popped up the images with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from Beach Chickies.

The Wild Roar

May 20, 2019

Hello again! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting The Wild Roar set.

Mama Elephant-The Wild Roar

I stamped The Wild Roar image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the images with Copies. I did something a little different this time with the coloring. I just added straight, flat color without any gradient using multiple shades of Copics per image. I kinda like the smooth look for something different.

Mama Elephant-The Wild Roar

I die cut the image using The Wild Roar coordinating die and popped it up onto some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper. The sentiment is from Labeled Messages.

Mama Elephant-Peonies in Bloom

I stamped the Peonies in Bloom images with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Bristol and colored them with Zig Clean Color Markers. The background tag and frame are from the Framed Tags-Artist Mat-Creative Cuts. The sentiment is from Occasional Labels.
