A new video – pop up tutorial

Hey there. A few weeks ago I shared a card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge using some gorgeous Mama Elephant stamp sets and Doodlebug supplies. As promised, I made a video and it’s up on the Simon Says Stamp blog today.

And here’s a reminder of the card:

THINGS THAT FLY

Spring will soon be here and our gardens will be buzzing with bees, butterflies, birds and all sorts of little insects. It is also at around this time of year that our thoughts turn to summer vacations and flying away to sunny locations ! There are so many options that you can use for this challenge !

We are showcasing AMERICAN CRAFTS PRODUCTS this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

I was inspired by the gorgeous black and yellow colour scheme in the March Simon Says Stamp kit so started with that by pulling out some card and polka dot patterned paper and of course the FABULOUS border die!  I’ve also been DIE-ing (geddit) to play with the Kite shaker die from the Hop To It release which of course ties in beautifully with our “Things That Fly” challenge theme.  I used some American Crafts twine to create the tail of the kite and filled the kite shaker with some white sequins.  After waiting for it on backorder I just got my Wishing sentiments stamps and dies and thought the font went perfectly with the kite theme.

I had so much fun creating this card – as soon as I saw the In My Heart stamp set from Mama Elephant, I immediately envisioned this little girl popping up out of the cupcake (from Carnival Cupcakes, also by Mama Elephant).  I had to practice a few times to get it right but once I had figured out the logistics it all came together perfectly!  I thought the Doodlebug Springtime paper pad with all of it’s gorgeous happy colours and patterns would be perfect to use on this card and of course the sprinkles are just the icing on the cake (literally!!!).  Just pull up the candle and out she pops – love it!
