Welcome to the Mama Elephant April Stampede Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing a birthday card created with the brand new Big Scripty Hello Creative Cuts Die and Big News Stamp Set and coordinating dies. The previously released Birthday Messages Stamp Set, Cloud Nine background die, and Sweet Feline sentiment strips round out this bright and colorful design.

The sentiments take center stage on this fun birthday design but the background needed a bit of interest to help the sentiments and images shine! A background panel was die cut from smooth white cardstock using the Cloud Nine Creative Cuts background die. The panel was inked with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer, and then blotted dry.
Strips of cardstock in Hero Hues Azalea, Hero Hues Papaya, Gina K Dandelion, Hero Hues Kiwi, Hero Hues Paradise, and Hero Hues Amethyst were die cut into varying widths and adhered to a regular piece of printer paper (trimmed to 3" x 5 1/2"). I added a strong adhesive to the printer paper and then adhered the strips at a diagonal to create my own rainbow patterned background. I used printer paper because it's thin and will die cut better than another piece of cardstock under the cardstock strips.
The Big Scripty Hello was die cut from the rainbow strip background. The Big Scripty Hello was die cut two more times and the dies were adhered one on top of another for a bit of dimension before being secured to the background as shown.
The images were adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
Sentiments from the Birthday Messages Stamp Set were stamped on the Hero Hues Azalea, Papaya, and Amethyst cardstock with clear embossing ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, and die cut into strips with a Sweet Feline Creative Cuts die. The phrases were adhered to the design with foam adhesive strips.
The card was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink, Ripened Pumpkin, Dandelion Yellow, Apple Green, Caribbean Ocean, and Crushed Grape.

Hello friends! I'm excited to share a clean and simple birthday card with you. Clean and simple, you say? Am I at the right blog? Yes, you are! Every once in awhile a clean and simple design strikes my fancy and I'm inspired by product(s) to turn it into a reality. Such is the case with the Sentiment Strips Creative Cuts Dies from Mama Elephant and the Birthday Messages Stamp Set! I accidentally noticed that the longest Sentiments Strips Die measures 4 1/4" so it perfectly fits side to side on a portrait-style A2 card base! I knew I wanted to create multiple stamped strips to create a rainbow background. Below is my card! Let's get started!

Stick It Adhesive was placed on both sides of a piece of Fun Foam. One side of backing paper was removed and replaced with smooth white cardstock. The Birthday Script Creative Cuts Die was die cut from the dimensional material and adhered along the left side of the stamped sentiments as shown.
Hearts were die cut Hero Hues Cherry Cardstock using the Bookmark It Creative Cuts Dies. The hearts were adhered to the design and finished with a layer of Glossy Accents to finish the card.

I'm continuing on my rainbow kick today with this faux watercolor grid stencil background card featuring the brand new Mama Elephant Cupcake Wishes images! I'm not a very proficient watercolor artist so anytime I can create a "faux" watercolor look I am all for it! The Simon Says Stamp Grid Stencil and Lawn Fawn dye inks were used to create this fun background. The smallest Life Changing Blending Brushes worked great to apply the ink through the stencil for my background.

The rest of the Cupcake Wishes images for the card were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink, colored in with Copic Markers, cut out, and adhered to the design with foam adhesive. The bit of dimension helps the images stand out from the busy background. The cupcake stick was stamped and embossed with a greeting from the Cupcake Wishes Stamp set using clear embossing ink and white embossing powder.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were applied to the top of the cupcakes for a "sugared" effect to complete the design.
