Sorry for the pun-y title today, but I just couldn’t help myself when the card uses the Stamp sets Designer Tee and Love You Lots!
I made this card for a friend who LOVES elephants, although I think it would make an equally special New Baby card too. I have been playing around with this card layout for a while now, with a wide boarder around an embossed white layer… partly because I cut and embossed far to many for a project a while back, and partly because I love it!
The Elephant comes from the Stampin’ Rewards Exclusive set Love you Lots … there is only one way to get your hands on this one, its not in the main part of the catalogue but right at the back, and you can only get your hands on it by cashing in your Stampin’ Rewards. These are points that you can earn when you spend over £150 in a single order, you have to redeem them immediately, and during Sale-a-bration you get even more… earning an extra £20 of Rewards when you spend over £200!
The card itself is pretty simple; the Whisper White card stock is embossed with the Polka Dots embossing folder, and the Elephant is stamped in Basic Grey and then cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies … although I did a bit of die cutting magic to get a smaller rectangle as the shapes in the pack are squares! The inside was also stamped with the Elephant… because we all know that your insides should never be plain!

These cards all used the same Masking technique that I discussed last week in the Pinkies Blog Hop. The frog is stamped in Archival Basic Black ink onto Thick Whisper White, and once the ink was dry I covered in Fine-Tip glue. I really love this type of masking, although it takes a little while as the glue has to be completely dry before adding any ink. The tags are sponged in Sweet Sugarplum and either Emerald Envy or Dapper Denim depending on the card base colour.
The sentiment is taken from Love and Affection, another new stamp set coming tomorrow!!! Yay!
