MAMA ELEPHANT - LIL CHRISTMAS DOCKET

Happy Wednesday, Crafty friends! 

I’m so excited to be back today sharing a new project for the Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight featuring the adorable Lil Christmas Docket stamp set.

Now, you might be wondering—what does “Docket” mean? In this collection, it’s a beautifully curated set of small stamps that are designed to work seamlessly together. They’re perfect for quick projects, layering, and little embellishments that bring big joy! This first holiday-themed set has all the festive favorites—Santa, elves, reindeer, snow friends, and even Mr. Yeti. Truly a merry little lineup!

I started by preparing my card panel. Using the Postcard Combo Creative Cuts, I die-cut a rectangle frame twice—once from blue polka dot paper and once from grey cardstock—then layered and assembled them to create the look I wanted.

For the images, I stamped them with Shachihata Ink in Black on Copic-friendly paper, colored them with my trusty Copic markers, and cut them out with the square die from the Docket Lil Card Envelope - Creative Cuts. To give them that extra charm, I framed each one with a small postage frame.

Once everything was ready, I arranged all the little elements on the card. The sentiment “HO HO HO” comes from the Mini Messages Stamp, while the sweet “May Your Days Be Merry and Bright” is from the Very Merry Sentiments Stamp. I also tucked in the tiny Christmas tree from the Bright City Stamp to tie it all together.

As a finishing touch, I couldn’t resist creating tiny mini cards to tuck inside the main card. These are so fun to make and add such a personal surprise for the recipient. I used the Lil Christmas Docket Stamp, Docket Lil Card Envelope - Creative Cuts, Mini Merry Messages Stamp, and Round Tag Wishes Stamp to complete the little collection you see in the photos.

They’re like mini treasures—perfect for gift tags, quick notes, or just to spread a little extra joy this holiday season.

I hope today’s project inspires you to start on your holiday cards and maybe try something playful like these mini envelopes. It’s amazing how a few small stamps can bring so much festive cheer!

Wishing you a merry, crafty day!
