Party time ...... with Mama Elephant

Partying with Mama Elephant
Ella and Friends.








This card had a hard time coming to me and it was actually sitting on display on my bookcase for quite some time, before I could do the finishing touches. 

A few mishaps were covered by the small umbrella and the cloud. 

A bottle tag for a giftbag

A bag full of......
and a note to the recipient using a bottle tag.














As guest at a birthday party I wanted to bring some Jerusalem artichokes along for the host and hostess. I didn't have time for a regular card so I grabbed a bottle tag from my stash and it fitted nicely around the neck of the paper bag. 

I will have to do more bottle tags................

Time for two.......

with Mama Elephant honey bunnies.



Translation of the Danish text is: 
Time for each other is a good time.







My first attempt with the speech bubble and computer text brought to life by the cute bunnies.

Sending smiles

with Mama Elephant and Kaboks die












When my daughter-in-law asked me for a card for a baby christening, I did a few variations, practising for all of the baby cards to come. With a little dimension behind the 'smile', the blue paper is actually showing behind the die cut smile.

My daughter-in-law asked me for a card for a baby christening, yes more baby stuff - keep it coming (:-) - some day (not that far away) I will be the grandmother.

Tommelise of H.C. Andersen

Tommelise for the HCA Festivals 2015..........

water coloured and in a Sizzix flip card 










I can never say no to my daughter according to my husband, and when she asked me to do 200 individually water-coloured flip cards, I didn't immediately say yes, but it only took her a few weeks to win me over. Tommelise, a well known H.C Andersen character, was chosen as the cards were a sponsor greeting for the HCA Festivals sponsors and put in the sponsor gift boxes distributed in connection with the H.C. Andersen Festivals in Odense during week 34/2015.

200 cards are quite a lot, I dare say, and next time I may say NO!!

From the heart

From the heart......................

With Washi tape in coordinating colours and heart punches.










This is one of the designs that I do quite  often as it only requires a small top folded paper, a few heart punches and some coordinated washi tape. The stamp is the Danish for: from the heart

I always have a few of these cards in my stash, different colours of course, so they match either the bouquet or the gift wrapping.
