Welcome to Mix it up Monday for the Doodlebugs blog. It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook and once again, we are mixing our favorite companies together on the same projects. Today we've got awesome Pretty Pink Posh stencils and dies with a splash of Mama Elephant stamps and dies. I made a trio of mini note cards and turned them into tags. These are fabulous for tying to a goodie bag of treats or to the handle of a gift bag too!
I started this project by stamping and coloring all of the images from Mama Elephant Beary Good Day with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out and set them aside to cut my note card pieces.
I chose the Pretty Pink Posh Mini Scallop Card for today's project. I cut the inside square panel from white cardstock three times. Then I took the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Hearts stencil and inked one layer with Lawn Fawn ballet slippers ink and the second layer I spread texture paste through and let it sit to dry. I cut the actual scalloped card from a few different cardstocks in my stash while those were drying.
I used liquid glue to adhere the stenciled panel to the front of each card and then popped the images up on each one with foam squares. Instead of fitting a sentiment on each card somewhere, I chose my favorite one and stamped it on a heart from Mama Elephant's Heart Pocket dies.
I punched a whole in each card and heart and threaded them together with some baker's twine. Then I used a Wink of Stella glitter brush pen to add some shimmer to something on each card - flower centers, certain tiny hearts, the sun, a balloon - you get the idea. Then I also added glossy accents to the bear's noses on each card.
I'm super excited to be gearing up for Valentine's Day already. I absolutely love giving valentines to everyone I know! It's so fun.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
