Graduation cards featuring Mama Elephant

Hello!
Hope you had a lovely weekend!

I had some graduations last month that I needed to create some cards for, so I decided to create the same design and just chance the colors slightly.
I have created a super similar card to this in the past but I just switched up the sentiment to suit graduation, so I instead of blabbering about the details of how I created it I will just link you here to my previous card if your interested.
I used the same stamp set, Carried Away by Mama Elephant but did change a few things so I will list those.

I apologize! I have great difficulties taking pictures of shaker cards sometimes, so the photo has some glare but hopefully you can see the sequins better on the close up shots:)

For my card on the left I used Seaglass cardstock from SSS for the base and balloon. I used a chevron stencil with the coordinating ink colors on all of the balloons. I used Wisteria Blossom sequins from PPP along with silver and iridescent mini stars. 



The middle card I used Lavender cardstock from SSS. I boo booed on this on and made a large ink smudge on one the sides so I used some pink cardstock stripes down each side to cover it up.
 The sequins for this card was Rose Gold, Sweet Pea and both silver and 
iridescent mini star confetti.

The card on the left was for my brother so I had to make it a little more masculine. I used Surf Blue cardstock and the sequins I used on this card were Gold, Ocean Spray and both silver and gold mini iridescent stars.


That's it for my cards today!
I love that sentiment for graduation cards, just works perfectly!
Thank you for stopping by!

Pretty Pink Posh & Avery Elle collaboration blog hop.

Hello friends!

I'm so excited to be participating in today's Pretty Pink Posh and Avery Elle's collaboration blog hop!
You should have arrived from Vera's blog but if not I will have the hop list at the end of my post.



I used the PPP storybook 1 die as my panel to create my scene. I die cut it twice, once with Fog cardstock for the frame of it and the second time with white cardstock for the insert pieces. I used the Rectangle Scallop Frames die to frame my card and give it a pop of color.
For my scene and cute critters I used the Wild Birthday stamp set from Avery Elle. I stamped my critters and banner on white cardstock, colored in with Copic markers and fussy cut out to adhere onto my background. I stamped the sentiment from the set directly onto my background.



Pretty Pink Posh and Avery Elle are each giving away 2 $25 gift certificates! Leave a comment on each blog by July 24/2016  for your chance to win! Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh and Avery Elle's blogs.
Your next stop on the hop is the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

Hi! featuring PPP and Lawn Fawn

Hello crafty friends!

Stopping in today to share a card I created with the adorable Dad and Me stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
I started off by using the Storybook 4 die from PPP which I die out from white cardstock.
For my background, I ink blended a few different inks (will list below) and then splattered with some water for a fun distressed look. I adhered this panel behind my storybook window and adhered this panel onto a card base created from Seaglass cardstock from SSS.


For my scene, I stamped my water with Broken China Distress ink, my mountains in Smoke ink from SSS and fussy cut them out. For my critter I stamped them separately as well, colored in with Copic markers and also fussy cut out to put my scene together.
I wasn't sure what I wanted for a sentiment so I used Riley's ABC's to create a hi! sentiment.
I scattered some sparkling clear sequins from PPP to finish off my card!

That's it! Hope you enjoyed!
Appreciate you stopping by!

Thank you Woodland Wonders featuring Avery Elle

Hello! 
Happy Monday, hope you had a lovely weekend!

Hope you're all having a lovely day so far!
Here today to share another card I created featuring the adorable Woodland Wonders stamp set from Avery Elle. I just love the little critters in this set and had to create with it again.


To start my card I created a card base out of Neenah Desert Storm card stock and stamped the trees in the stamp set repeatedly for a subtle tone on tone background.
Fot my scene I stamped out everything but the birdie on white cardstock and colored in with Copi markers, I then framed this piece with a white scallop circle which I created from the Scallop Circles Die from PPP. My birdie and banner with sentiment, I stamped seperatley and fussy cut out to adhere onto my circle panel.
Of course my card is not complete without sequins so I added some gold sequins from PPP to finish my card off.

That's it for me today!
Thank you SO much for dropping in!
:D

Sending Hugs featuring Neat and Tangled

Hello!

I have another card today to share with you featuring the Better Together stamp set from Neat and Tangled. I told you I love it:P I think it just works for any occasion.


For my card I started with a white card base. I sponged some green and blue ink for my ground and sky and die cut the fence from PPP with kraft cardstock and adhered in the background. I created a frame out of Fog cardstock with a scallop oval and rectangle die from Avery Elle, which I adhered on top of my card base with some foam tape for a little dimension.
I stamped my sweet little girly sepearte in some white white cardstock, colored her with Copic markers and fussy cut out to adhere on my card.
I stamped my sentiment and scatted my card with sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
That's all for my card!:)
Thank you so much for stopping in!
