For this months challenge at Seven Hills Crafts, I chose the middle colour palette. I started by die cutting three Lawn Fawn stitched squares, and stamping a Mama Elephant Little Cat in each. I coloured them with copics and promarkers, adding some glitter to the accessories. Next, I die cut two MFT Stepped Up Chevrons… Continue reading Seven Hills Crafts Feb 2017 Colour Challenge
I always enjoy making a Chinese New Year card each year. I love using vibrant red with gold, such rich colours look fabulous. This year, I wanted a fun card that my nephew would like. The Luna Elephants stamp set by Mama Elephant is perfect. I started by stamping three roosters with memento tuxedo black… Continue reading Year of the Rooster
I had an idea for a card featuring a birthday present and a mini gift tag. I searched through my craft stash but didn't have a present stamp big enough, so instead got creative. Head over to the Seven Hills Crafts blog to see how I put this card together.

For my Design Team… Continue reading Seven Hills Crafts Jan 2017 Sketch Challenge

I started by white heat embossing the… Continue reading Mama Elephant Trifecta

This set features triangles and arrows to make your own patterns with and is very versatile. I started by heat embossing in white the triangle outlines from the set.… Continue reading Geometric cards with Mama Elephant Trifecta
I've started thinking about Christmas and making my own cards this year. If I don't start making them early, I know I won't be ready. For this card, I've used the colours from the Seven Hills Crafts July competition. Although it's a summery colour scheme, I think it works well for an alternative Christmas colour… Continue reading Christmas in July Part 1
Along with the triangles in the Mama Elephant Trifecta stamp set, it also comes with some fun arrow stamps. I used them to make a summery background. I used the mini Misti stamping tool to help me line up the stamp properly, choosing inks in some bright colours. Next, I die cut from gold glitter paper, a 'birthday'… Continue reading Arrows
