Jungle Elephant Card - DRU

 Happy Friday everyone,with a fun jungle card that uses an elephant die and stamp set. First, create your card base, I used brown cardstock and matted it with dark green cardstock. Set aside. To create the die-cut panel first dry emboss it, I used a woodgrain folder. Offset the die on one edge and run it through your machine. 

Now stamp the elephant toward one edge on cardstock and color. 

Now stamp the leaves and die-cut it. I usually have to do this step twice since I always do this step backward. 

Adhere the stamped cardstock, emboss/die cut panel, and add the finishing touches (sentiment, die-cut, and gems).

Stick It Down April Reveal

   How about a little card inspiration for today, featuring April's card sketch from Stick It Down. 

   I opted to change it up a bit by moving the sentiment strip. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (My Min's Eye), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), stamp and die (Stampendous), dye ink (Hero Arts)

   I did a cheat on this birthday card. I just received this stamp set from a giveaway and the packaging came with the great colored images of the elephant and leaves so I die cut it out.  

Here is a closer look. You know I couldn't resist adding some sequins. 

If you play along this month you have a chance to win $20 credit to Handipaper, they offer amazing cut files for electric die cutting machines. Also, one winner from each sketch to be a guest designer!
