Hi there! I have two more cards that I made earlier in the week to share with you. First up is a card for the Cupcake Inspirations colour challenge. I was inspired by Tanja's card and pulled out this NBUS WPlus9 elephant. I paper pieced him and his party hat with solid colour cardstock and kept things really simple by matting the panel on Perfect Plum cardstock. He really is a cute little guy isn't he? I've got to give this set a little more attention.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink (Perfect Plum, Basic Grey) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Elephant & sentiment from Unforgettable) WPlus9
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies: (Dashed panel) Avery Elle
Gems: Recollections
Next up is a two-for-one challenge card. I combined the "cake" challenge at Addicted to CAS with the "O is for Old" challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. Skipping Stones Design is a great go-to company for cheeky images and sentiments. This particular set has 4 great follow ups to the "You know you're getting old when..." part of the sentiment. Anyway I stamped, coloured, fussy cut and popped up the cake, surrounded it with the sentiment and was on my way!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink (Smokey Slate Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Cake & sentiment from You Know You're Getting' Old Birthday) Skipping Stones Design
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Marker: (R32) Copic

Fab cards Jen! Love the wee elephant and I am totally of the age that a birthday nap is super exciting!! Thanks for joining the sisterhood of snarky stampers for our "O is for Old" challenge!!
I have that elephant but never thought about paper piecing him, Jen. He looks darling in his little party hat. I love the second card, too, although you have to have the right person to send it to. ;)
Both are fantastic, Jen! It's great to see you use that wee NBUS ellie set after we just talked about it and your snarky card is a hoot! (Although it did hit awfully close to home!) Hugs, Darnell
Your elephant card is so sweet!!

Sweet little elephant with his sweet purple party hat, and I do love the purple base. And your snarky card had me chuckling in here. And it's sooooo true, too! Sweet little cake. Fun cards! Bev

Your first card is so sweet Jen - that little elephant is adorable. And oh how I identify with the sentiment of the second....
That little elephant is too cute Jen!
Cute card. I personally believe that the nap should come before happy hour so that I am all rested up. Thanks for playing along with our "O is for Old" challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
Both cards are great. I do love cartoon elephants. Thank you for playing along with us this week at Cupcake Inspirations! Sandy, DT Sweetie
