Mama Elephant May 2020 Stampede Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Today I'm showcasing brand new Mama Elephant stamps and dies from the May 2020 Release to create this lovely Botanic Envelope Card. Background die cutting, masking, inking, stenciling, and texture are the perfect way to showcase this envelope full of beautiful botanicals!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this botanic envelope card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

I wanted to created a soft and subtle background to really highlight the Botanic Envelope and Stems and Sprigs images. I started by die cutting the Frilly Window Frame Cuts Die from smooth white cardstock and inking Pinkfresh Studio Sky Blue and Summer Shower inks on the panel using the Trinity Stamps A2 Foundations Rectangle Stencil as a mask.

Without removing the mask, the Heffy Doodle Brick By Brick Stencil was placed over the top and Ranger Grit Paste was applied using a palette knife. I purposely didn't apply an "even" application of the Grit Paste so the bricks have a bit more of an "aged" character! The masks were removed and the masks and palette knife washed immediately with warm water to remove any excess Grit Paste.

The Botanic Envelope was die cut from smooth white cardstock and inked with Pinkfresh Studio Summer Shower and Seaside inks. The pieces were assembled s shown for the detailed envelope.

The greenery from the Botanic Envelope was inked with Pinkfresh Studio Inks in Mint, Meadow, and Emerald City.

A greeting from the Stems and Sprigs was stamped on the envelope with Pinkfresh Studio Seaside ink. A Trinity Stamps Funfetti Love Sprinkles embellishment was glued above the sentiment as shown.

Flowers from the Stems and Sprigs were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish Ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

• Red: Deep Red, Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green
• Pink: Red, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green
• Purple: Deep Violet, Violet, Light Violet, Green, Light Green
• Yellow Orange: Scarlet Red, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Green, Light Green

The flowers were die cut with the coordinating Stems and Sprigs dies and the flowers and greenery were tucked into the Botanic Envelope. The envelope was adhered to the background with foam adhesive and the entire panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

The background of my card was created by inking a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of smooth white cardstock with Pool Party Reactive Ink, spritzing White Iridescent Shimmer over the panel and blotting dry, and splattering White Liquid Watercolor over the panel.

Images from the Main Kit were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with a no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

Skin: Beige, Flesh Colour, Blender, Shadow Mauve, Pink Haze

Hair: Mustard, Blender

Dress: Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo, Blender

Flowers & roots: Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo, Light Carmine, Beige, Blender

Leaves: Olive Green, Mid Green, 

Deer: Mid Brown, Beige, Blender

Butterflies & fish: Bright Yellow, Pale Yellow

Clouds: Shadow Mauve, Blender

Birds: Mid Brown, Beige, Blender, Bright Yellow

World: Cobalt Blue, Light Blue, Mid Green, Blender

The earth was stamped with a greeting from the Main Kit using the Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The images were die cut with the coordinating Main Kit dies and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

For my second card share today I used the Add On Stamp Set, Staggering Branches to create this one layer card design. The images from the Staggering Branches Stamp Set and Main Kit (butterfly) were stamped on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Bristol Smooth Cardstock panel with a no line coloring ink. The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped with Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

The images were colored with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:

Deer: Mid Brown, Oatmeal, Dark Brown, Pink Haze

Antlers/branches: Beige, Medium Beige

Leaves & eyes: Olive Green, Mid Green

Flowers: Light Carmine, Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo

Yellow Butterfly: Bright Yellow, Pale Yellow

Orange Butterfly: Orange, Pale Orange

Pink Butterfly: Light Carmine, Pink Haze

Detail was added to the eyes and butterfly bodies with a black fine tip pen.

The Carry the World Add On Stamp Set was used for my third and final card share today. For the background Splash and Blue Hawaii Reactive Inks were blended onto a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" smooth white cardstock panel. The Ocean Waves Bold Prints was stamped over the inked background with the same two ink colors. The background was spritzed with White Iridescent Shimmer and splattered with White Liquid Watercolor.

The Carry the World Add On Stamp Set images were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with a no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:;

Large turtle: Blue, Cobalt Blue, Light Blue, Mid Green, Olive Green, Pale Dawn Gray

Small turtle: Olive Green, Pale Dawn Gray, Mid Gray, Warm Gray 2, Red

Seaweed: Green, Light Green

Starfish: Bright Yellow, Pale Yellow

The images were die cut from using the coordinating Carry the World Dies and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

The card was finished by creating "bubbles" with Crystal Lacquer.

The background was created from Lawn Fawn Fog Cardstock trimmed to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". The Honey Bee Stamps Outdoor Scene Builder Clouds Stencil, Lawn Fawn Manatee Ink, and a Life Changing Blending Brush were used to create the gray on gray background.

Sentiments from the Rainbow Wishes Stamp Set was stamped along the bottom edge of the background with Simon Says Stamp Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The sunshine rays from the Rainbow Wishes Die Collection were die cut from the upper left corner of the background. This die cuts the lines but not an outline from the paper. A sun was die cut from Lawn Fawn Sticky Note Cardstock and adhered to the center as shown.

Rainbow arches were die cut from Hero Hues Peony Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Guava Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Apricot Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Sticky Note Cardstock, Hero Hues Kiwi Cardstock, and Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock and then glued in place as shown. Clouds were die cut from smooth white cardstock and adhered to each end of the rainbow.

The small hearts were die cut from the same cardstock colors as the rainbow and adhered throughout the design. The sun and hearts were finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard.

Honey Bee Stamps | You Are Loved (World Kindness Day)

Happy World Kindness Day friends! Honey Bee Stamps has an incredible new stamp set for us today called You Are Loved. $5 from the sale of each stamp set sold through Honey Bee Stamp website will be donated to Rachel's Challenge. Please read more about this wonderful project HERE.

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this rainbow background kindness card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD: 

This card is a single layer adhered to a white side fold card base but the colors and greeting pack a big punch. The new Geometric Background Stencil and rainbow-colored Distress Inks provide the perfect background for the You Are Loved sentiment.

I started the card with a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and the Geometric Background Stencil. I used post it tape to mask off sections of the stencil and inked each "strip" with Distress Inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I removed the stencil, spritzed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer, blotted the background dry and stamped a greeting from the You Are Loved Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx Ink.

I love that you can mix and match the sentiment(s) to say exactly what you want to say. I love the size of the greeting(s) and how it's the star of the show. I will be making many, many of these cards to have on hand. Love this stamp set so much.

Hearts from the You Are Loved were stamped with Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I switched to Distress Oxides here because they stamp solid images so much better than the regular Distress Inks. You definitely wouldn't need to use both the regular and oxides on this card. You could ink the background with Oxide Inks to minimize the supplies needed. ;)

I finished some of the hearts with a layer of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard and added a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Red Berry, Ripened Pumpkin, Dandelion Yellow, Apple Green, Midnight Blue, and Crushed Grape to complete my design.

Celebrating World Kindness Day with Honey Bee Stamps

Happy World Kindness Day!

Our world needs more kindness – now, more than ever. Here at Honey Bee Stamps, we love spreading kindness. So today seems like the perfect day to share a little extra!

Today I'm sharing a kindess card with the Kindness Stamp Set and coordinating dies, and pairing the greetings with the Zen Floral Stamp Set and Busy Bees Stamp Set. Rainbow makes everyone happy, right?!

On a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock the border from the Zen Floral Stamp Set was stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The florals were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the background along the bottom edge was watercolored with water brush pen and marker.

To divide the top from the bottom without the addition of multiple layers, a thin strip of dark gray cardstock was adhered right above the floral watercolored border.

The word, "kindness" from the Kindness Dies was die cut from cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It. Each letter of the word was inked with a Distress Ink in rainbow order! I adhered the die cut word right above the gray strip as shown. Additional greetings from the Kindness Stamp Set were stamped above the die cut greeting with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. 

Bees and dotted "bumblebee trails" from the Busy Bees Stamp Set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The bees were finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.

Additional flowers from the Zen Floral Stamp Set were stamped on Brisol Smooth Cardstock with Versamark Ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Simon Says Stamp November Card Kit | Kindness Heart of Flowers Inlay Cards

Hello! Earlier this week I shared this trio of inlay style kindness cards on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and YouTube Channel using the November Card Kit, Kind Flowers. I absolutely adore this kit! So many amazing things you can do with it! HERE is a dimensional greeting die cut from a stamped image card I shared with the kit. I wanted to showcase the amazing specialty papers from the kit with my cards today so I used the Heart of Flowers Die to to create inlay panels and die cut the specialty papers to fit inside the floral shapes! Awesome texture and elegant kindness cards!

I trimmed down the Dark Chocolate Cardstock from the kit to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut the Heart of Flowers Die from the panel, discarding the inside pieces.

Kindess greetings from the Kind Flowers Stamp Set were stamped below the die cut heart using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with antique gold embossing powder.

I used the Heart of Flowers Die to die cut the three specialty papers included in the November Card Kit. 

I backed the panels with foam tape, flipped them over and placed the die cut pieces inside the flower and leaf shapes for the inlay design. I used a QuickStik tool for any of the super small pieces.

I finished the design with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Silver Lining, Copper Penny, and Antique Rose.

I peeled the backing paper off the back of the panel and adhered each to a cream cardstock card base.
