Baby Elephant Tulle Window card

Yesterday I made a tulle window card featuring the bear from "A Little Wild" stamp set.

Today I made 2 other tulle window cards featuring the other 2 "wild things" from that stamp set - the elephant, and the lion.

This post will focus on the elephant alone.  It makes the cutest baby boy card.


The elephant was stamped on Whisper White  colored with blendabilites then die cut and set aside.  Because the front and back halves are attached together, after die cutting I cut the two pieces apart and set them aside.

On a top folding Whisper White card base, I temporarily adhered a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Coffee Break DSP to it and then die cut a stitched square aperture in the upper part of the card through both layers.

Separating the layers, some tear and tape adhesive was added around the edges of the square aperture on the card front and on the wrong side of the DSP.  I also added some tear and tape adhesive around the rest of the card front about 1/4" from edge and on the back of the DSP close to the edge.

After adhering the white tulle around the square aperture, the two card layers were added together.  The card front now has a tulle window in it.

The front of the elephant was added to the front tulle window using tear and tape adhesive.  Then opening the card, the back side of the elephant was adhered matching up the image outlines.


Some 3/8" shimmer pool party ribbon was wrapped around the card below the window and the stamped sentiment adhered over the ribbon using dimensionals.

Three balloons were punched using the balloon builder punch and sentiments from the "Baby Bear" stamp set added to two of them.  Some metallic pool party baker's twine was strung from the balloons to the nose of the elephant.

To finish, some Clear Wink of Stella was added to the balloons and part of the elephant.
