Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies – Lovely Little Elephants

April 2, 2020April 3, 2020 ~ Karen Young

This is the penultimate project from my Bugs, Beasts & Butterflies Class and it uses the lovely Little Elephant Stamp Set and matching punch.

Lovely Little Elephant. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

I couldn’t run a ‘beasts’ class without including an elephant!

This project would be great for a new baby congratulations, or a Birthday with a change of sentiment.

The colours are Soft Sea Foam and Smoky Slate, combined with Whisper White.

The smaller elephant is holding a balloon of balloons, as I’ve used the Balloon Bouquet Punch to cut them out.

Fine-Tip Glue was used to stick the Soft Sea Foam ears to the Smoky Slate stamped elephants.

A length of Metallic Edge Ribbon has been coloured with a Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend to co-ordinate the colours. Then a length of Whisper White Baker’s Twine has been wrapped around it.

SNAIL has been used to attach the larger elephants, but the smaller one has been made to stand out using Dimensionals.

Pop back soon for the final project from the class.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Little Elephant

October 28, 2019October 25, 2019 ~ Karen Young

Last week, I used the Little Elephant Stamp Set and Elephant Builder Punch at Card & Cuppa Classes for the first time.

This card is perfect to celebrate any occasions, from Birthday to newborn.

I teamed Smoky Slate with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape for this project.

The ribbon effect background is created by stamping the strip from the Stamp Set onto a separate piece of Whisper White Cardstock. There is a mix of first and second generation stamping. These are then cut out by hand and attached to the card.

An image from the set, I chose balloons, is then stamped and cut out using a Circle Punch. Make sure the image is biased towards the top so that there is room to add the elephants.

Another circle is then punched to create a layer to the chosen image.
