Mama Elephant Interactive Sweetness


Hello fellow crafters! Welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by! Today I have some more interactive sweetness in the form of the wonderful Donut Treats stamp set by Mama Elephant
My Supplies are from my fave local store - The Scrapboook Store in Perth Western Australia. Suzanne has a massive amount of gorgeous products!
To begin my card, I lightly covered my background piece of card with Cracked Pistachio, Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks.
I splattered water over this and gently dried with a paper towel. I stamped and coloured the gorgeous images with my Copic Markers. I die-cut them with the corresponding dies.  To make the mechanism I used a strip of very thick card as my 'lever' (and coloured it with Carcked Pistachio). I secured this to a smaller piece of card/tab with a small brad.





Then another brad was used to secure the smaller tab to the background piece (punch a few holes in a line on the smaller tab to attach the second brad - rather than just a single hole - this allows the tab to move a little as it swings). 
Attach the little mouse to the top of the smaller tab. Attach the donut stack and mouse with a small strip of 3D foam to allow the levers to move behind the stack freely.
Attach the images to the background piece as shown below. Attach the separate donut to the pull-tab with 3D foam (stamped with 'pull here') and trim the excess tab length.  Stamp out the sentiment with versamark ink and white emboss on Kraft Card. 
I have a similar mechanism in a Youtube Video on my channel here
 Hope you enjoyed by card and that you try an interactive card or two as well - tag me on Instagram as I love to see your creations. xx

After 12years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he could come back to me, I was really worried and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Robinson.buckler can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a Love spell for me. 11hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before, All thanks to Robinson.buckler. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Robinson.buckler is real spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your ex lover back or save your marriage fast. Do not cry anymore, contact Robinson.buckler@yahoo.com
