Double Your Jolly Holiday Season!

Welcome back this Friday my wonderful crafty friends!  Today I am using some Mama Elephant stamp sets that I absolutely love!
  How many of you, like me, buy lots of stamp sets because we can't live without them, but don't get to use them enough?!  Me, me, & me!  Last year I bought almost the whole Mama Elephant's Christmas release and didn't get to create with them nearly enough so here they are!

The products I used from the amazing Butterfly Relflections, Ink store are:

• Mama Elephant Little Snowman Agenda stamp set
• Mama Elephant Little Snowman Agenda coordinating dies
• Mama Elephant Little Reindeer Agenda stamp set
• Mama Elephant Little Reindeer Agenda coordinating dies
• Mama Elephant Scripty Xmas stamp set
• Mama Elephant Flip Slider dies
• Sunny Studio Feeling Frosty stamp set (snowflakes)
• Sunny Studio Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper
• MFT Interactive Labels stamp set
• oxide inks: tumbled glass & milled lavender
• Lawn Fawn jet black ink
• Versafine onyx black ink
• white embossing powder

I started by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits wonderfully into the size 9A envelopes.

I first created the background by heat embossing the snowflakes in the corners and the sentiment with white.  I then inked at an angle using tumbled glass & milled lavender with the blender brushes and splattered with white paint using a damp paint brush.

I set that aside to dry and got to making the two flip sliders.  These flip sliders are really easy to assemble and the Mama Elephant website has the specific instructions to follow.

I simply cut out twice as many pieces for mine: 2 bases from sturdy but not too thick white cardstock, 8 larger rectangles from pattern paper and 8 smaller rectangles from the same cardstock as the base.

On the smaller white rectangles I lightly inked the center of each piece with tumbled glass.  I then stamped the pull at the end of each tab.

Next, I stamped the snowmen and reindeer, colored with copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies listed above.

I added the cuties to the center of each piece, alternating snowmen and reindeer with the matching theme.

To finish off the card, I simply added some white pearls.

I hope you are inspired to pull out those sets that you "had to have" and create some amazing creations with them!  Please share them with use by added #butterflyrelfectionsink!
