Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade Bundle

My card today features the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the stamp set, Elephant Parade and the Elephant Dies. I also used Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I adhered a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock to the front of the card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder (which also includes a die) and then adhered a strip of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper to the Basic White cardstock and then adhered both to the card base. 

 

 

 

I stamped the elephant from the stamp set, Elephant Parade, in Memento ink and then colored it using both the Light & Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends and both the Light & Dark Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using the Elephant Dies and I used those same dies to cut the grass behind the elephant.

Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and a larger, scalloped circle out of Parakeet Party cardstock.  I adhered the two pieces together and then glued the grass to the Basic White circle using Multipurpose Glue. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the elephant and adhered him to the circle.

 

 

 

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Flirty Flamingo ink and the stamp set, Go To Greetings and then cut it out using the All That Dies. I added adhesive to the back of the sentiment and tucked it in below the sentiment. 

 

 

Bundle Alert:  The He’s All That Bundle (159079) includes the All That Dies and the He’s All That stamp set.  You always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Bundle

Today’s card was made using the Bottled Happiness Bundle which includes the Bottled Happiness stamp set and the Vintage Bottle Punch.  I also used my Stamparatus to line up the two images that make up the bouquet of flowers. 

 

 

Tea Boutique

 

For the base of my card I used one of the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and as the name states, there’s a matching envelope for each card base. I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock and Starry Sky cardstock together and adhered them to the front of the card. 

I cut another piece of Basic White cardstock and placed it in the Stamparatus.  There are two stamps that make up the bouquet (see the diagram below). I used the stamp with the leaves first and placed it on the cardstock exactly where I wanted and then closed the Stamparatus cover so the stamp would stay in place. I used my Parakeet Party Stampin’ Write Marker  to color the leaves on the stamp and the Starry Sky Stampin’ Write Marker to color the small flowers which are actually the centers of the larger flowers. Then I closed the cover to stamp the image onto my Basic White cardstock. I colored the images a second time so they’d be darker.

 

 

 

 

The beauty of the Stamparatus is that you can remove the plate and turn it around and use the other side (plus it comes with two plates) which I did. I didn’t remove the first stamp so I can make multiples of my card at a later time. When I stamped the other image, I used my Orchid Oasis stamp pad to color the images. It took me several tries (five or six, if I’m being honest) to get my stamps aligned exactly how I wanted them.  It was worth it because I love the finished bouquet. Imagine all the possibilities with different colors!!  Those two stamps aren’t coming off my plate for a while! 

 

 

 

I adhered the bouquet stamped image to the front of the card and then stamped the bottle in Starry Sky ink and cut it out with the Vintage Bottle Punch.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it below the bouquet. I used the All That Dies to cut the sentiment banner and then stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink using the stamp set, Bottled Happiness. 

I used several Mini Glue Dots to adhere the sentiment to the bottle. Then I used three strands of White Baker’s Twine (part of the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack) and made a bow.  I added a Mini Glue Dot to the back and adhered it to the bottle.
