Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm back with a couple of interactive snow-themed Mega Flipper cards featuring lots of Mama Elephant stamps and dies. One of the requested videos from YouTube is more Mega Flipper cards so today I thought I'd share two holiday themed mega flippers that feature the brand new Dashin' Through the Snow Stamps/Dies, Snow Much Fun Stamps/Dies, and Flurry Frame Dies as well as a bunch of previously released product to finish out the cards. These fun designs are a great way to hide a sentiment (like I'm sharing today) or to even hide a gift card.

Four scalloped panels from the Mega Flipper set were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The scallop edges from the scallop to stitching were masked off and the panels were stamped with the snowflake background as well. I love a light colored ink for this this as it instantly adds interest without overwhelming the sweet images.
The Flurry Frame Dies was die cut from smooth white cardstock and the snowflake edge was ink blended with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Shaded Lilac, and Wilted Violet. I love the bright, happy snowflake border.
The pull tab from the Mega Flipper was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Fog and Lipstick Red Cardstock. The die cut pieces were adhered along the bottom edge of the Mega Flipper.

Hello friends! Today I have a Slim Woodland card that I turned into a fall scene rather than a winter or Christmas scene. I love that the landscape can be turned into "grass" rather than "snow" and how the leaves from the Tree Branch Cover Creative Cuts Die are the perfect way to add falling leaves to the design!

The Slim Woodland was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The edges of the panel were masked off with post it tape and the landscape was inked with Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Ink. The trees were inked with Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
A 3 1/4" x 8 1/4" panel was inked with Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and splattered with Liquid Stardust for a "starry sky". The Slim Woodland was adhered over the sky.

Welcome back to Day 3 of the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop! We are celebrating 8 years with a fantastic new holiday release along with our amazing friends! Join us with some free goodies and our annual sale!
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite techniques for adding depth and dimension to die cuts: shading colored cardstock with Copic Markers. The new Foliage Frame is gorgeous and can be used for holiday and beyond. I created a holiday design today with Copic shading on the leafy frame, leafy branches, and flowers. A bright white embossed sentiment, gems in the center of the flowers, and glittery Nuvo Crystal Drops on the berries are the perfect finishing details.
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of this foliage frame Christmas card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
A sentiment from my new favorite holiday greeting set, Mixed Holiday Greetings, was stamped on the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The green leaves were adhered to the gold ones for a bit of a "shadow" effect and then adhered to the background leaf frame panel as shown.
The florals and berries were die cut from Hero Arts Cherry Cardstock. Each flower consists of a 5 petal flower and 2 - 3 petal flowers. Each layer was shaded with R46 and R59 Copic Markers. The flowers were assembled and glued in place on the card.
The sprigs were die cut from Gold Mirror Cardstock and finished with a berry on each top before being tucked into the floral design. I didn't add any shading to the berries as they are so super small and we will be adding sparkle to them later.
The frame was adhered to a white side fold card base.

Happy Tuesday! I'm so excited about the 8th Anniversary Mama Elephant Release NOW AVAILABLE! In my video today, I'm showing all the new stamps and dies plus sharing how I created two slimline cards by mixing and matching several of the new products for these new holiday designs.
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these slimline holiday cards from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
Both backgrounds were created by die cutting the Slim Woodland from smooth white cardstock and coloring in the trees with E53, E55, and E57.
A solid slimline panel was inked with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and spritzed with a Distress Sprayer for a "snowy" look.
Sentiments from the Mixed Holiday Greetings Stamp Set were stamped on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Slim Woodland was adhered over the distress background and set aside while the images were stamped and colored.
Detail was added to the eyes with a black gel pen. Details were added to the scarves, hats, etc. with a white pen. A small heart accent finished the design.

PREPPING THE PANEL
I trimmed two panels of smooth white cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4". From one background the MFT Stamps Huge Hugs Die-namics was die cut from the background. Front the other background the MFT Stamps Big Smile Die-namics was die cut.
On the back of the panel I added double side adhesive tape and lined up the strips behind the die cut sentiments. Any excess stripe was trimmed away with scissors.
Funfetti hearts were added to both cards above the kitties.

MASKING TIPS
A background was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles die. Images from the Winter Fox Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Hero Arts Instes-ified Ink and stamped again on Masking Paper. The images from the masking paper were fussy cut and adhered over the images on the card base. I always start with the images that will be in the foreground first, and work my way back.
The masked scene was adhered to the center of the marquee mat and the entire thing was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2").

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Today I'm showcasing how to use the brand new Mega Flipper Creative Cuts Dies to make this out of this world interactive birthday flipper card! The Mega Flipper is a larger size of the previously released Flip Slider Creative Cuts Dies. Want to see the original dies in action? Check out THIS post. I love the larger size of the flip slider.

The panels were adhered to the tabs on the Mega Flipper as shown in the video above.
Note Any stamping that needs to be done to the panels (i.e. the sentiment and lines coming from the back of the rockets) should be done before attaching the panels to the Mega Flipper. I stamped the greeting and images from the Little Agenda Spaceship Stamp Set with clear embossing ink and heat set with white embossing powder.
The Night Sky Cover was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy Cardstock. The edges of the panels were masked with low tack tape and Distress Oxide Inks in Speckled Egg, Wilted Violet, Black Soot were applied to the cardstock. The panel was spritzed with water in a Distress Sprayer and allowed to dry. The panel was backed with silver glitter cardstock.
The Mega Flipper was adhered to the background as shown.
FINISHING THE CARD
Images from the Little Agenda Spaceship Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The following color combinations were used for each image:
Rockets: Wine Red, Blush, Peacock Blue, Shadow Mauve, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Blue Gray, Blue Haze
Earth: Blue, Light Blue, Light Green, Yellow Green, Pale Pink
Moon: Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink

Bunnies: Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink
Dogs: Mid Brown, Beige
Cats: Brown, Light Brown, Natural Gray, Gray Tint, Pale Pink
The pull tab from the Mega Flipper was die cut from silver sparkle cardstock and red colored cardstock. The die cuts were added to the pull tab to show the recipient where to pull to make the interactive element work.
