MAMA ELEPHANT - OCTOBER DESIGNER SERIES

Abundance of Toys Holiday Card Set

Hi friends! It’s Vera here, and I’m so excited to share my latest project with you, featuring the Abundance of Toys stamp set. This adorable set is filled with sweet holiday characters and cozy Christmas details — perfect for creating warm and joyful scenes!

I started by stamping all the images from the Abundance of Toys set on marker-friendly paper using Shachihata Ink. Then, I colored them with Ohuhu Honolulu markers, keeping the palette soft and pastel for a cozy holiday feel. After coloring, I used the coordinating dies to cut out all the images.

For the backgrounds, I die-cut basic rectangles from striped patterned paper.

• For the first card, I used the larger stripes and adhered the panel to the base card. The sentiment, “Wishing You Love, Peace and Toys,” was framed using a leftover die-cut from the All Tied Up set — a great way to reuse previous pieces!

• For the second card, I used shorter striped paper at the bottom of the card to create a balanced layout. I added Santa peeking through the window from the Santa Baby set for a fun little surprise element!

Once all the pieces were arranged, I adhered them with a mix of flat and foam adhesives for a bit of dimension. To finish off, I added gems for a subtle festive sparkle.

I love how these two cards turned out — sweet, soft, and full of holiday cheer! The Abundance of Toys  set is so versatile and easy to combine with other Mama Elephant holiday collections.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this inspires you to create your own cozy Christmas cards with your favorite Mama Elephant stamps.

See you next time and happy crafting!

Holiday Snow Globe Cards | Mama Elephant x Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2025

Hello friends! Today’s project features the adorable Holiday Snow Globe stamp set from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2025 x Mama Elephant Collaboration! I might be a little late to the STAMPtember celebration, but these cozy holiday friends were just too irresistible not to play with.

This limited-edition set was part of STAMPtember 2025 and has already sold out (as all good collabs do — they go fast every year!). But I still wanted to share some inspiration in case you were lucky enough to grab one, or just want some festive ideas for your other holiday sets. 🎅🏻

Btw, you can recreate the look using Wonderland Globes or Winter Globes for that same snow-globe magic.

After finally getting my hands on the set, I spent some relaxing time coloring these snow globe cuties using Ohuhu Honolulu markers. I followed the same color palette I shared before for my Wonderland Globes project — you can find the color list here if you missed it.

For my first set, I created a series of postcard-inspired cards using the Postcard Combo - Creative Cuts. Each postcard features one of the charming snow globe scenes paired with sweet holiday sentiments from the Joy To The World stamp set.

I absolutely adore how these turned out — they remind me of vintage postcards sent with love during the holidays. 💌

The embossed “POST CARD” detail adds such a nostalgic touch, while the layout gives plenty of space for sweet messages like “for you from me” and “have a sweet holiday season.”

One of my absolute favorites from this set is the little bunny dressed in a Santa costume! 🎅🐰Isn’t he the cutest? His soft pink outfit and tiny gift bag just melt my heart. The sentiment “for you from me” fits perfectly for this card — like sending a tiny, heartfelt wish sealed inside a snow globe. 

Another favorite is the puppy and chick snow globe — I mean, how adorable are they? The cozy color tones and candy cane detail make this one so playful and full of warmth. It pairs beautifully with the “wishing you warmest wishes” sentiment for an extra festive touch.

I added a mini envelope detail using the Docket Lil Card Envelope from a previous project, tying everything together with an extra dose of sweetness.

And of course, the reindeer kitty brings its own sweet magic, holding a little envelope under twinkling snow. Each globe feels like its own mini winter story, full of love and joy!

To wrap up the collection, I created a Santa-shaped card holding one of the snow globes using the Favor Bag Accessory – Santa Elf Creative Cuts.

There’s something extra special about revisiting old designs and giving them new life!
This Santa card is a re-creation of my earlier shaped cards from 2017 and 2019 — one of my favorite festive projects from years past. 🎅✨

This time, I paired the cheerful Santa with the Mama Elephant x Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember 2025 collaboration set, featuring an adorable snow globe scene that fits perfectly in his hands. It’s like Santa is holding a tiny world of cozy winter magic! 

I love blending nostalgia with something new — proof that inspiration can come full circle and still feel fresh and joyful.

Each of these snow globes captures a little moment of holiday wonder — from Santa’s letters to cozy forest scenes — and together they make a sweet, nostalgic holiday collection. I hope they bring you some festive inspiration and a touch of handmade joy this season!

MAMA ELEPHANT - WONDERLAND GLOBES

 Hello crafty friends! 💕

Today is the final day of Mama Elephant’s October Stamp Highlights, and we’re wrapping things up with a truly magical set — the Wonderland Globes stamp set!

This set features Mama Elephant’s adorable friends nestled inside charming snow globes, each one capturing a cozy winter scene filled with warmth and wonder. From playful critters to peaceful snowy moments, every globe tells its own sweet story. 

If you loved last month’s Winter Globes set, this one is a perfect companion! The new images mix beautifully with your existing globes, and even though Wonderland Globes doesn’t come with its own Creative Cuts, it works perfectly with the Winter Globes Creative Cuts — so you can expand your little winter world seamlessly. 

I had so much fun stamping and coloring all the images from Wonderland Globes set. 
I stamped the images on marker-friendly paper, colored them with Ohuhu Honolulu markers, and cut them out with the matching Winter Globes Creative Cuts.

I used Ohuhu Honolulu markers on marker-friendly paper, then cut the images with the Winter Globes Creative Cuts. You can see my color chart above if you’d like to try the same palette — soft, cozy tones that feel like a snowy day wrapped in a blanket. 

For my card design, I combined the globes with Joyful Greetings Stamp for the sentiments and used the Swiss Dot Cover for the background to add a delicate, snowy texture.
