Positive Vibes - It's Okay - Mama Elephant stamps

Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful Friday ...... I hope the week has been kind to you.

Here’s a sweet little card I’ve made to send someone some special caring vibes.

Sometimes we all just need a hug or some kinds words and these wonderful shelf stamps by Mama Elephant were just what I needed for my card today.

I wanted to create a fairly simple calming card today so chose a pretty blue background paper and then stamped the little shelf elements onto marker friendly card before colouring with promarkers.

The stamps come with dies but I don't have them so I used my ScanNCut to cut out the little elements before adhering them to the card, some flat and some with foam tape.

To finish off the card I added a few pieces of sparkly confetti.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

A Meowy Christmas to you all with Mama Elephant

Hello everyone happy Tuesday!  

You all know how much we love our kitties...we have 5 now although our newest edition to the family Marmalade is an absolute terror at times - she's a sweetheart most of the time and then a complete drama queen at 7 months old.

When I saw this stamp I know it would be perfect for a few of my cards this year and I m really pleased with how its turned out.

I decided to stamp the main image and the sentiment onto some Kraft card and have then coloured it in using my wonderful Polychromos pencils.

I kept the design really simple adding little touches of sparkle to the baubles and stars.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll come back to see my next project 

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

It's the most magical time of the year with Mama Elephant

Happy Saturday everyone... I hope that you are all well and are having a lovely weekend.

I'm back today with another Christmas card to add to my stash of cards for sending this year.

I treated myself a week or so to a couple of new stamps for Christmas and some stencils and this is the first of the cards I've had chance to make - I cant believe how busy we have been lately and were hoping to start harvesting the olives next week...so no rest for the wicked as they say.

Its a CAS or clean and simple card, the large sentiment stamped onto the card panel and then the cute image stamped onto separate card before being fussy cut out and adhered with foam tape for dimension.  Both have been simply coloured with coloured pencils for no fuss and I've added some sparkle to the little pom poms and in the background for that festive look.

The set includes a second large sentiment and some extra little shape stamps too!

The panel was layered with red card onto the A6 landscape card base. Definitely a good card for batch making!

I do hope that you like my card for today.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Let's Eat Cake from Celebration Hamsters by Mama Elephant

Happy Wednesday everyone…… wishing you all a lovely day today.

I was at my Spanish ladies group last night and I cant wait to show you what I am working on - I'm loving learning another new skill and this is definitely something I will do again.

We had more wonderful rain and amazing thunder and lightning last night which is fantastic for the garden but not as good for sleeping and it's definitely very hot and humid today. 

JJ has been busy in the garden re-routing some of the watering system and building new steps - he never stops !

Today I am sharing a sweet shaker card that I've made using a set of clear stamps by Mama Elephant called Celebration Hamsters.

The card design has been inspired by a card sketch challenge for the month of June in a Facebook group I belong to. 

I stamped the sweet little hamsters onto alcohol marker friendly cardstock using memento ink and then used my Promarkers to colour them in (see below for colours used) before fussy cutting out with my scissors. A little fiddly but that's part of the challenge that was set.

I've used my new stitched dies to create the shaker panel, adding a piece of pink striped paper to the card base to begin with.

I used 2 other dies to create the shaker window, the larger dies to cut the outside edge and then one of the smaller dies in the set to cut 4 windows.  

Its really easy to create this look without having to use an expensive die plate - just a little careful measuring and preparation for the shaker window.   Each window has ben filled with a different colour of sequin / confetti.

I hope that you like my card today.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day ☀️

My favourite person from Mama Elephant

Happy Thursday everyone…… wishing you a lovely day today ☀️ 

I’ve been pottering around this morning in the garden but have stopped now as it’s far to hot to work anymore…. JJ has been busy treating some wood for a new pergola he is building by the pool and the painters arrived at 8am to start painting the house so it’s all go here….. ad usual 😂😂

My son Jack who lives in the  U.K. is changing jobs at the beginning of July and he asked me to make a couple of Thank you cards for his current two managers…. They’re done and in the post, winging their way over to him (fingers crossed 🤞 they arrive ok )

One of the cards is for a cat lover so I thought my new stamps from Mama Elephant called My favourite person would be perfect !

I’ve used my Promarkers to colour in the image and created a simple rainbow background with a dotty stencil.

I’m off to sit in the shade and do a little colouring now before we have lunch and then I’m off for a walk at 7pm with the town walking group.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day ☀️
