Happy Saturday, friends! Today we are celebrating summer a bit with this beach scene card featuring a couple of older Mama Elephant Stamp/Die Sets: Beach Chickies and Summer Splash! The Slim Comic Strip Creative Cuts Die is the perfect way to frame up each mini "scene. I love revisiting previously released stamps and dies for a brand new design!

The Mama Elephant Slim Comic Strip Creative Cuts Dies was die cut from smooth white cardstock. Each "section" was stamped with the waves from the Mama Elephant Summer Splash Stamp/Die Set using clear embossing ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder. A greeting from the set was stamped in one of the sections with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Water from a Distress Sprayer was splattered over the panels for a bit of distressing. Once dry, the frame and panel were adhered to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" white slimline card base. The Mama Elephant Slim Comic Strip Creative Cuts Dies frame was die cut three more times and adhered one on top of another for a dimensional frame.
The images were die cut with the coordinating dies and adhered to the mini sections as shown.
The card was finished with a scattering of stars and hearts.

If you follow me on Instagram HERE you will know that I am doing a year-long series where I send out ten cards weekly to followers randomly selected from a Google Form my friend Lori Craig set up for me. I came up with this for a couple of reasons:
I have SO. MANY. CARDS. and not enough friends/family to send them to. You all are so kind and supportive of what I do here and on YouTube and I want to give back!
With how hard 2020 was it has reinforced in me that there's nothing like a handmade card in your mailbox to give a little sunshine to others. Not only does it brighten someone else's day, but it brightens MINE to share with you.
If you would like a chance to receive a card, please fill out the form HERE. I can not promise that I will be able to send a card to all of you. The response has exceeded my expectations. I already have over 1700 people signed up. But.... I do make a lot of cards every week so I am going to do my best! 🥰
NOTE One of the questions I receive the most is if I mail cards internationally. Yes I do! It may take a bit to get to you.
NOTEI have a favor to ask. When you're filling out the google doc form please make sure you add your state and/or zip code to your address. There have been several I skipped simply because it's time consuming to look up info and pray it's correct. I don't want you to miss your chance because of missing information. Thank you!
Every week I will do a little weekly recap with the list of cards I'm mailing out. Here are the cards I mailed this week. Please check to see if you are expecting a card.

Very, very rarely do I use a plain, white envelope to mail out my cards and I get a lot of questions regarding the envelopes I use so I made a couple of thumbnail lists for you all. I have an A2 list and also a Slimline/Mini Slimline list below. These are the envelopes I use to mail all the things. ;)

The stitched panel for the front of the box was die cut from smooth white cardstock and stamped with greetings from the Colorado Craft Company Hedgehog Day Stamp Set using Lawn Fawn Peachy Keen and Guava Inks. The panel was secured to the front of the box strip. The box was assembled according to the instructions in the video. I share my best tip for quickly and easily assembling the box and getting the inserts to line up perfectly the first time!
The die cut images were adhered to the pop up box card by gluing directly to the different layers as shown or by adhering them first to acetate "picks" (thin strips of acetate). The benefit of the acetate picks is that you can float images in the box card! I floated a die cut greeting, hearts, and clouds for this sweet scene!

Happy Saturday! Popping in here quick today with another card share featuring new stamps and dies from the Mama Elephant March 2021 Release! The Comic Cover Basic Creative Cuts Die is the perfect backdrop for these darling Little Ninja Agenda images. I just love how each opening is perfect for telling little "mini" stories in each opening. I just love the "storyboard" style of both the Comic Cover Basic and Slim Comic Strip.
