Mama Elephant Santa’s Sleigh

cards handmade by Pri with a little bit of effort and a whole lot of love!!
I started with a textured apricot orange shade of cardstock for the card base and cut kraft cardstock to size for the top panel…I then die cut the leaf shape from this top panel and started to prepare the shaker element…
On a piece of white cardstock,I randomly sponged some Distress Oxide inks to create the autumnal look…I used vintage photo,lucky clover,antique linen and spiced marmalade shades here..I then adhered a piece of acetate behind the kraft panel…I then adhered adhesive foam tape to create a well for the shaker,added the sequins and added the inked panel to close the shaker well…
I did not add too many sequins as I wanted the inked background of the leaf to show a bit better…
Once the shaker panel was ready and adhered to the card front,all I had to do was stamp the sentiment on a small strip of the same cardstock as the card base…I used lucky clover Distress Oxide ink for stamping and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder and adhered it to the card front using some foam squares underneath…and as a final touch,I quickly made a bow from gold string and adhered it to the leaf using a glue dot…
I never thought I could make a shaker card this fast…and it was so much fun creating this card with the timer running beside me…I think good planning was the key for me today…
So happy you stopped by my blog today…thank you for taking the time…have a happy and crafty day ahead..!!

As a participant of Camp Create,I have earned this badge…
I started by die cutting some leaves from an olive green textured cardstock panel….I used two leaf dies from the wild greenery die-namics die set and repeat die cut to cover the whole panel…then using a bright citrus cardstock,I die cut the leaves again for inlaying them on the panel…I used double sided adhesive sheet to adhere the leaves onto the panel…
I cut the panel to size and die cut one end using a stitched scallop die and then started on the rest of the panel…
Using a piece of Kraft cardstock same size as my card front and the same stitched scallop die,I die cut the section for the bottom…I die cut the word hugs from this panel and inlayed the word die cut from the same citrus green cardstock that I used for the leaves…I stamped the word ‘sending’ using black ink just above it…
Finally,I adhered both the sections of the front panel onto a Kraft cardstock card base and adhered a few sequins to embellish my card…
For today’s participation I have also earned this badge…can’t wait to see and create for the next four sessions…
I’m super glad you stopped by to take a look at my card….Hope you will have a beautiful day ahead…Happy crafting…!!

I started by die cutting Kraft cardstock for the card base using Lawn Fawn box card pop up die and then assembled it to make the box….I die cut the panels from a wedding themed double sided printed cardstock…the best part was that I was able to use both sides here..
Once the base was ready and the panels were all adhered to the inside and outside of the box,I started to stamp and colour in all the images for my card…I then cut them out and also die cut a grassy border for the front as well as a couple of trees…
I adhered most images directly onto the inside panels and a couple of butterflies on thins acetate strips before adhering them to the panels..
Finally,I stamped the sentiment on a kraft card strip and adhered it to the front flap using adhesive foam squares and added a couple of butterflies above it as well…
So happy you stopped by my blog today…Hope you will have a fabulous and happy day ahead..!!

I have used kraft cardstock for my first card….I created a section to place the acetate and then adhered it to the card…I stamped  one sentiment on the card front and another one inside which can been seen through the acetate panel…
My second card has a full acetate front panel…I cut the acetate about half an inch longer than the card front so that once I scored it to size,I would be able to adhere the cardstock I used for the card back to it..
I stamped the little boy holding the large balloon and the sentiment on the panel using Stazon jet black ink…I don’t know if any other ink works on acetate but I know for sure that this one does…
Using Spectrum Noir markers I coloured in the images…you can see on the balloon that it didn’t work too well but it was ok on the small image…
I added a few silver star sequins to embellish this card…
Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my cards today….Have lovely & blessed day ahead…!!

My first card is a simple one layer card and I have tried out the Masked Inking technique as shown in the tutorial by Jennifer McGuire..this is a great idea for adding depth and interest in a single layer card…
For the second card I chose a Kraft card base and top layer….I stamped the candy stamp repeatedly on the top layer to create the background and then coloured them in using my Spectrum Noir markers and a white gel pen….
Using the ‘sweet’ word die,I die cut it from white cardstock a few times and layered them before placing on the card…then on a blue foil banner,I stamped the rest of the sentiment and placed it above the die cut word….
I have used gold sequins to embellish this card…
Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my cards today…Have a blessed day…!!

So while I had the kraft cardstock out,I decided to create a quick card….this time I used it to create the card base….the top layer is die cut from vellum using a stitched rectangle die…I then stamped the little dandelion images on the vellum using white pigment ink to create a background…
The sentiment is half stamped and half die cut and I have used white rhinestones on all four corners to embellish the card as well as conceal the glue dots I used to adhere the vellum to the card base….
