More Elephants

So my cute baby paper got me on a roll. Well, mass production always helps get a bunch done too =) Here are more elephant cards. Everyone seems to be having girls right now but I'm sure that will change soon and I'll be happy to have the boy cards in my stash.

Two Birds with One Elephant

I had a baby shower to attend last night so of course, I needed a card.  I have had two pads of cute baby paper waiting for me to use. But when looked at my Pinterest board not many of the cards I'd pinned used patterned paper. So when I finally found a couple designs I liked, I made a few.

I forgot to buy a gift bag (and later, I went to Meijer and refused to pay their ridiculously high prices for one). I only had a striped Kraft one on hand and no colored tissue paper to dress it up. I was running late so didn't have time to stop and grab one either. While I was getting ready, it hit me that I had cellophane card bags. So why not let more than just the mom-to-be enjoy the card?! I thought it turned out super cute and definitely need to remember this for future gifts.

Controlling the Scrap - Version 2.1

I saw this card and fell in love with the simplicity. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to do duckies or elephants, so I did one of each.

Card dimensions: 6.25" x 4.5"

Embossed Mat: 6" x 3.25" (I had to run this through my Texture Boutique two times to get the length =)

Elephants (from Holiday Cakes): 1.26" x 1" (Cut 10 of these to get the contrasting ears. Hide the ears on the second set so it won't cut them out.)

Duckies (from Everyday Paper Dolls): I placed ten in a row with kerning at -0.20, then welded them together. I ended up trimming a bit off each end.

Again, scrap cardstock, scrap designer paper, scrap ribbon...
