MAMA ELEPHANT - SURPRISE GIFTS


Hello friends! So happy to be back to share my card featuring the Surprise Gifts stamp set for the last day of Mama Elephant's October Stamp Highlights. 

The Surprise Gifts stamp set features a few of Mama Elephant Friends holding little items and ready to help surprise and pop out of a box or a pile of gifts! This set is so much fun when you pair it up with the Pull Paper Slider creative cuts (sold separately) to give your projects a bit of an interactive twist.

I began by preparing the main images. I stamped the Surprise Gifts on Copic-friendly paper with Shachihata Ink - Chesnut and cut them out with Surprise Gifts - Creative Cuts.



Following that, I die-cut all the materials for the slider card using 
Pull Paper Slider Creative Cuts and arranged them together as shown in the picture below. To finish off my card,  I added a Hip Hip Hooray banner that I die-cut using  Banner Greetings - Creative Cuts.

MAMA ELEPHANT - ROUND TAG WISHES

Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to share a card I created using the Round Tag Wishes stamp set for Mama Elephant's October Stamp Highlights. This incredibly versatile set is perfect for making gift tags, mini cards, stickers, and more.

For this project, I combined the Round Tag Wishes set with the Holiday Bitties Stamp and Holiday Messages Stamp set to create a festive holiday card.

I stamped the Round Tag Wishes in bold red and green inks, then used the Round Tag Wishes - Creative Cuts to cut them out. Adding a cute little birdie and present from the Holiday Bitties stamp set, I completed the card with a sentiment from the Holiday Messages set.

MAMA ELEPHANT - PAOLA'S MERRY WISHES

Hey everyone! I'm excited to share another project for the Mama Elephant October Stamp Highlights. Today's post showcases Paola's Merry Wishes clear stamp set. This set includes beautiful handwritten holiday sentiments by Paola, perfect for adding an elegant and personal touch to holiday cards and projects. The set features festive phrases with a warm and nostalgic feel on a smaller scale.

I created a set of cards using the Faux 3D Boxes - Creative Cuts. I really like these new Faux 3D Boxes as they offer so many creative possibilities with the dies. You can easily slip in money or a gift card into the box. For my project today, I used a mini envelope that fits perfectly with a gift card or money. I die-cut the envelope from vellum paper using the Lucky Envelope - Creative Cuts, which is an older die-cut collection from Mama Elephant.

I also used the Sweet Shoppe Frame for the panel card. I die-cut it from white cardstock and covered the back with silver and pink glitter paper.

For my Merry Christmas card, I paired Paola's Merry Wishes with the cats from the Holiday Huggers stamp set. 



For my Happy New Year card, I combined it with the cute characters from the Shine with Love stamp set.
