Thank you for visiting today for Mama Elephant’s January release Designer Blog Hop! The first release of the year from Mama Elephant definitely started things right! So much cuteness, you guys. I can’t wait to show you everything that I made! But let’s start with this card featuring Mama Elephant Flying Friends stamp set paired with the Cloudy Day Cover Creative Cuts cover plate die.
I stamped all my images out and colored with Copic markers. I then die cut with coordinating dies and set my images aside for later.

Next, I die cut the Cloudy Day Cover Creative Cuts out of Bristol Smooth paper. I did a little masking to ink blend each of my clouds in different Distress Ink colors to coordinate the way I colored my balloons: Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold.

This new die has a very unique look where there’s a thin cut out behind the cuts where you can tuck things behind the clouds. I decided to back it with some gold glitter paper and this might have been my best decision in 2019 so far. Haha. It looks amazing in person. I wish I was a better photographer so I can show you how beautiful this is!

Before I put the card together, I remembered to stamp my sentiment which is always a small victory each time I make a card! I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder to match the gold glitter paper.

Lastly, I adhered all the images onto my card based with a tape runner keeping this card relatively flat since I already had plans to mail it to a special friend. I thought the card still could use a little something, so I added the star confetti and my card is complete!

I hope you like my card and that you have a good time checking out all the new goodies and the beautiful inspiration from the talented design team! Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win the prizes below!
