Last night I held my Fast & Fabulous Cards Class but this time with a little twist to it. It was a fundraiser for the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. I so enjoyed the elephants last month when we were in Thailand, I wanted to do something to help out. We started the class with bags filled with peanuts in the shell. I tied on a little Thank You tag made using the A Little Wild stamp set and Little Loves Framelits. What an awesome bundle this is!!!
I had such a blast playing with this stamp set — of course I used the elephant but there is also a lion and an adorable bear with little bees. The framelit cuts out each animal to be folded in half for a tag like this. Well, I wanted to make a card so I just cut around the ear to give me a front and back of the elephant. Here’s one card we made using this bundle.
It’s a fun peek a boo card with a great Marbled background (this is a must have stamp). We cut a frame of Basic Grey using the Layering Squares Framelits.
When you open the card the elephant is still there with a spot to write a fun little greeting.
And don’t forget to decorate the back of the card. Everyone at class LOVED this little addition.
