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! Soft Seedlings

Today’s cards were made using baby wipes, Stampin’ Ink Refills and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. This technique is super easy and you’ll never get the same results. 

 

 

 

I made these cards while I was staying at my mom’s and I didn’t have all the colors of ink refills that I wanted but I did have Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight so I went with those two colors. Ideally I would have liked to use Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I took four baby wipes and folded them in half and then placed them on a non porous surface.  Then I started adding drops of ink refill all over the wipes.  This acts a stamp pad! Then I inked up the leaf stamp into my homemade stamp pad and then stamped it onto Basic White cardstock. I did add additional drops to get a deeper color. It’s all experimental and there’s no right or wrong way to do this technique!

 

 

I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the leaves “out” and tried using a variety of cardstock colors and embossing folders.  For the card above, I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaf piece before adding it to the card. I also used Iridescent Rhinestones on all four cards.. 

 


 

For this next card, I used Cajun Craze cardstock for the base of my card and again used the Scalloped Contours Dies.

 

 

 

This next card has a Daffodil Delight card base and I used the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder (which also comes with a die). 

 

 

 

For this last card, I used a Cajun Craze card base and the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder. 

 

 

I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I’d recommend picking three colors and go for it!
