For today's project I wanted to feature the Mama Elephant - Postage Grid Cover. I pulled a bunch of different sets and this is how I was inspired:
Today I'm featuring:
Mama Elephant - Postage Grid Cover | Creative Cuts
Sunny Studio Stamps - Merry Mocha | Stamps + Dies
Pretty Pink Posh - Ghost Holder | Dies
Pretty Pink Posh - Holiday Mug Additions | Dies
I decided to go with a red and aqua color palette. For the peppermint candies, I used vellum for the wrappers. Do you spy the sprinkles? They match the aqua panel.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. I had some fun playing with the Lawn Fawn peppermint border dies a while ago. I just made a bunch of them for fun but didn't have a plan. Then I walked past my craft room the other morning and this design hit me. I ran in and sketched it out on a sticky note and came back to create it later on.
Since my peppermint borders were already created at this point, I glued them to a piece of pink cardstock and used the Mama Elephant Postage Frame dies to cut it out. I discarded the outer frame and kept the inside. Then I cut a white postage frame and used washi tape to adhere the inside to the frame.
I stamped a fun sentiment from the Mama Elephant Everything Nice set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Then I stamped the bunny in the Mama Elephant Holiday Huggers set and colored it with copic markers. After using the coordinating die to cut it out too I hooked his paws over the sentiment and glued them together.
I didn't want a plain white card base so I drug my cilantro ink pad across a white card base for color and texture at the same time. Then I assembled everything with foam tape and squares. Gotta love that dimension!
For finishing touches today I added black glaze pen on the bunny's eyes and glossy accents on his nose and the while parts of the Santa hat.
How is your holiday card stash coming along? I am definitely getting there quickly. Thank goodness because it's about time to pop these babies in the mail!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

I'm so grateful for you and for your continued support of my blog and small business. I hope that as you reflect back on this past year you find that you have much to be grateful for.
Today I'm sharing an easy watercolor card using the lovely Take Wing stamp set from Penny Black. I love to watercolor and this image seemed perfect for that medium.
I stamped the image onto watercolor paper using a light grey, water resistant ink. I then used my watercolors to fill in the image.
I framed the image using the Bella Frame die set from Mama Elephant and then added a die cut greeting. For the final touch [although it is not visible in the photos] I added some glitter glue to the branches of the trees.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you were inspired.
