Party Animals Birthday Box Card - Mama Elephant

Hello everyone!  I am so excited to share a fun Birthday Box Card with you today, featuring the super adorable Party Animals Stamp Set from Mama Elephant.  This set is packed full of so many cute little images!

These little animals are ready to party and I love how much fun they look like they're having!  To start, I first created my box base from White Card Stock.  I didn't have the Mama Elephant 3D Pop Up Card, so I created my own from a sheet of white card stock, a scoring board, scissors, paper trimmer and adhesive.

I stamped all of my images with Copic friendly Black Ink onto some Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored with Copics and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  In addition to the Party Animals Set, I also used the fun "Party" balloon from the Celebration Balloons Set, the banner from the Sentiments From a Yeti Set and some extras from the Carnival Toppers Set.

For my blue background panels, I blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks onto smooth white card stock and splattered these panels with some opaque white paint for added interest.

For the grass panels, I blended some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks onto smooth white card stock prior to cutting.  I adhered everything to my box base with some strong adhesive and a few images with some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.

I hope you've enjoyed my card today!  Not sure if I'll get this in in time, but I thought it would be fun to enter this card into the Mama Elephant Guest Design Call for their Anniversary Celebration Stampede Blog Hop!  They have so many amazing products and I would be honored to be one of the individuals chosen for this amazing opportunity.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, don't forget to check out my INSTAGRAM feed!
