Snow Globe Shaker Tags with 7 Kids and Mama Elephant

Hi ya everyone!  I made these cute Mama Elephant gift tags using their two new stamp sets and their globe die too!  There are two stamps sets called Snow Globe Bitties and Snow Globe scenes.  

I created shaker cards out of each one by inking the background with Catherine Pooler It's a Boy ink and adding snow with my gel pen.  I also used a number of fun techniques to create the snowy ground during a 7 Kids Live at the Customer's Create page which can be found HERE.

A Snowy Winter Sky Tutorial

Hi ya everyone!  Today I am sharing this card I made for Imagine using my Fireworks sprays to create a perfectly smooth snowy sky!  I also used the beautiful white mBoss embossing powder over top the fireworks.  You can watch the full video tutorial HERE.  The YouTube has all of the links in the description box for you as well.

A Little Mama Elephant In the House

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I wanted to share a project I made for the Mama Elephant Card Contest.  Did you know Mama Elephant is having a card contest?  They are, and the entries so far are so stunning.  I decided to try my hand at no line coloring with my Copics using the adorable Wish Upon A Star stamp set and Peonies in Bloom stamp set.

My sister at Everyday Expressions created a gorgeous card where we she added flowers to the edges to create a beautiful scene.  I was inspired by this card to create one with flowers bordering the edges of my card, as my sister always says, "everything needs flowers"!

There is time left to join the Mama Elephant Card Contest.  You have to go to Instagram and hashtag your creation with mamaelephanttopcardcontest.  

All of my products were purchased at 7 Kids Craft Supply.

Peonies and Friends - 7 Kids and Mama Elephant

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing this gorgeous card I made using the Mama Elephant Peonies in Bloom that I picked up at 7 Kids Craft Store.  I used my Zigs to color these beauties too.

The image lends itself for an easy color.  I love adding depth and brushing that color out into a new pink.  I also stamped the flowers in Angel Pink Memento first so it had a no line appearance.  I then used my Ellen Hutson die to create an interesting backdrop for the flowers.  The background paper is watercolor paper with a touch of blue and sparkle.  

Last, I added a sentiment from the adorable Mama Elephant Marine Friends set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and put a few Nuvo drops in Cloud 9 on too!

One In A Million - Mama Elephant and 7 Kids

Hi ya everyone!  A no line coloring technique is a must with these adorable bunnies from Mama Elephant!  I think this might be my favorite stamp set of all time.  These little bunnies are just so cute and to pair them with a moon and stars theme was a perfect combo!

I inked the background with Catherine Pooler Inks to create a setting sun appearance.  I splashed white gesso for stars and water to create a splotched sky.  I then added stars.  Next, I cut out circles randomly on the card.  Each bunny was colored with a no line coloring technique and my Copic markers.

I placed the bunnies in each random circle.  The large bunny on the moon was placed in the corner.  Last, I attached small sequences and stamped a sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne from the same set.  Items purchased at 7 Kids Crafting Supply Store.

We Heard - With Mama Elephant and 7 Kids

Hi ya everyone!  I think this little set from Mama Elephant is too cute.  I love all the little sentiments you can add to the sign.  The adorable animals are perfect as well.  I purchased this cutie and the Nuvo drops I used at 7 Kids.

I colored this adorable cutie with my Copics.  I chose a striped paper pattern I had in my stash and die cut the image.

Love You - A Mixed Media Card

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I am sharing a fun mixed media card using the adorable Mama Elephant Stamp set called Flying With Friends.  7 Kids has so many Mama Elephant cuties and they are going fast.  The new release just hit the store too!  You can check them out HERE.

The elephant and balloons were colored with my Zig Clean Watercolor Markers on watercolor paper.  I'm learning to use these markers and so far it's been quite fun!  I also use a watercolor brush to move the colors.  I also took the balloon bubble one of the elephants are holding and cut that off to use as a word bubble.  All images were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

I also created this fun mixed media background using Prima Ice Paste in Red and Turquoise.  You guys everything is 20% in Mixed Media at 7 Kids too!!!  I used a stencil for the pattern.
