MAMA ELEPHANT - Joy To The World Christmas Tags

Hi friends! It’s Vera here, and I’m so excited to share my latest Christmas project with you, featuring the Joy To The World stamp set

This time, I decided to create some festive Christmas tags—perfect for adding that extra handmade touch to your holiday gifts.


I combined the Joy To The World set with the cutest little square images from the Lil Christmas DocketDocket Lil Card Envelope - Creative Cuts, and postage-style frames from the Postcard Combo-Creative Cuts. These dies are honestly perfect for turning into fun little tags!

 I stamped the images on copic-friendly paper with Shachihata Ink, colored them with Copics, then die-cut the squares, postage frames, tiny cards, and envelopes to create the tags.


  To finish them up, I mixed and matched different sentiments from several stamp sets.


 Then, I dressed them up with a safety pin, fluffy pom poms, and a little star charm—because who doesn’t love that extra bit of festive sparkle?



One of my favorite parts was making the tiny card and envelope using the Docket Lil Card Envelope die. It’s small, sweet, and adds such a personal touch—you can even tuck a little message inside. Sometimes the smallest details really make the biggest impact.





I also love that the tags can be tied onto gift boxes with ribbon. It’s such a simple way to take a present from “cute” to “wow!” 



Here are all the tags together! Each one feels a little different, but they all coordinate beautifully. I had so much fun making these, and I hope they inspire you to create your own holiday tags this season.



Crafting doesn’t have to be complicated—even small handmade touches can spread so much joy.  

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Vera

MAMA ELEPHANT - WINTER GLOBES

Today is the final day of Mama Elephant’s September Stamp Highlights, and we’re wrapping things up with the magical Winter Globes stamp set. 

This set is so much fun—you can create sweet holiday snow globe scenes that bring instant charm to your cards. Whether you make them into shakers or keep them simple, they always add that extra festive sparkle!

For my project, I stamped the images onto Copic-friendly paper, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with the matching Winter Globes Creative Cuts. I created two versions of the card: one with a shaker element and one without.

For the sentiment, I used Paola’s Merry Wishes Stamp, and the big red bow was die-cut from Take a Bow CC—a perfect finishing touch!

Here’s a closer look:
 The shaker version—filled with sparkle and movement, and the non-shaker version—clean, simple, and just as sweet. Both designs capture the holiday spirit in their own way, and I love how versatile this set is.





Thank you so much for joining me throughout this month’s Stamp Highlights! 
It’s been such a joy to share these projects with you, and I hope they’ve inspired you to create your own holiday magic with Mama Elephant stamps.

MAMA ELEPHANT - VERY MERRY

Hello crafty friends! 
It’s Saturday, and we’re almost at the final day of Mama Elephant’s September highlights. Today, I’m excited to feature the Very Merry Sentiments stamp set.

This beautiful collection includes heartfelt messages like “Fill Your Heart and Home with Joy” and “May Your Days Be Merry and Bright”—all in a fun, whimsical font that instantly adds warmth to handmade projects. Whether you’re spreading holiday cheer or sending a cozy winter wish, these playful sentiments are the perfect finishing touch to make your creations sparkle with joy. 

For my card, I paired the Very Merry Sentiments with the Holiday Stamp Collection by Aida Zamora illustration, “A Beary Christmas.” They work together so perfectly! I stamped the images onto Copic-friendly paper, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out using the matching die.

To create the background, I die-cut the frame from Postcard Combo Creative Cuts on blue paper, then layered in glittery white hills for a snowy winter look. 
I also added a warm touch inside the card with a simple yet heartfelt sentiment: “Wishing you peace and love.

And here’s the finished result—two sweet little bears, a festive tree, and a sentiment that captures the magic of the holidays.


Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspires you to mix and match your stamps and sentiments for endless holiday card possibilities. Wishing you a crafty and joy-filled weekend!
