Hi crafty friends! Today I'm on the Mama Elephant Blog with my first ever Designer Series post! Please check it out over there as well because I have a fun intro and story of how I got into crafting!
Now onto my card! This card is very dear to my heart because I made it with my daughter in mind. She loves pandas and is the reason why I bought my first Mama Elephant set… and I’m even using Pandamonium on this card! Full circle!
This is an inside shadow box card inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video but modified to be a square shaped card with peekaboo feature. I used the Heart Pocket Set to create the peekaboo heart cutout on the front and the inside window of the shadow box. I used some patterned paper for the front and inside of the card. To create the heart garlands, I cut out lots of hearts from pink glitter paper, cream and lavender cardstock using the hearts from the Basic Set dies. Then I made a “heart sandwich”—heart, glue, thread, heart—and did this for every heart on the garland. I adhered the garland to the inside edge of the shadow box window with double sided tape and glue.
For the images, I colored up the cute bear from Beary Good Day with Copic markers (T3, T5, T6, C00, C0, C1, W0, W1, R30) and turned him into a panda. I wanted to make lots and lots of hearts so I did some masking to create additional piles of hearts, colored them (V01, V04, E93, E00, R42, R30) and fussy cut the custom images. Finally, I stamped sentiments from Beary Good Day and Pandamonium and put together the card.
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy crafting!
