Now let’s get on with the Stampede!

Today, I’m featuring the Rewind stamp set which is a fun retro set, complete with a cassette tape and tons of fabulous sentiments. My card features the cassette tape, which I heat embossed in gold on vellum. I trimmed it out and arranged it with other vellum shapes. I stamped the sentiment with teal zeal pigment ink and popped it above the bunny. She’s from Carnival Cupcakes (+ Creative Cuts) and her bow is from Carnival Toppers (+ Creative Cuts).

Everything is adhered with various types of adhesives, except for the two hearts, which was stapled using a tiny attacher. I added a gold enamel dot to coordinate with the other two gold pieces on the card. The various layers of patterned paper were hand-cut à la Jocelyn Olson. It really looks so much better than using all straight edges. 😉

Your next stop is our newest design team member, Ashley Marcu! Thanks so much for hopping with us and be sure to visit the Mama Elephant Blog on Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. EST for the first day of Stamp Highlights!!

  3. I knew the minute I saw one of your cards made with the new Carnival Cupcake stamps and dies I would have to have them. You're such an enabler!

  4. Love this cute card, Emily! As always, you have layered everything perfectly, and showcased the new stamps and dies in a unique and fun way! Love that you added the adorable bow tie, too!

  5. I love how you layered and mixed the different stamp sets to squeeze a scrapbook-sized story on the size of a card. Beautiful work as usual.

  6. I love your collage card Emily! Your vellum die cuts are so sweet. I never think to use vellum. I love that cassette tape, totally from my era. LOL

  7. I love the composition of your card. All the elements work, but I wouldn't have thought of it. Anyway, I really like that sentiment… and, of course, the bunny! Mama Elephant never disappoints when it comes to images. Thank you for sharing!

  8. Absolutely love all the layering! Your eyes get to spend so much time gazing at it to find all the layered up goodness!
    Thanks for sharing your talents!

  9. You are totally blowing me away with all of your ME projects this week! I've truly loved each and every one…including this one. Such a beautiful combination of so many lovely papers and embellishments.

  10. Awww…she is the cutest little bunny! This card is sweet and pretty and funny–that's a hard combo to master. Love, love the mix of embellishments and stamps. The colors are gorgeous! Also, you are so sweet. 🙂 Thanks for the shout-out!!
