MAMA ELEPHANT - BIRTHDAY BLOCK SET

Hello, crafty friends! Today marks the start of Mama Elephant's January 2025 Stamp Highlights! We are excited to introduce the new Birthday Block Set stamp set. This set features an adorable group gathered around a cake and includes two bold sentiments: "May all your dreams come true" and "Birthday wishes from the gang." These sentiments are perfect for spreading joy on someone’s special day!

For my card, I used the Birthday Block Set in combination with the Cake Gift Card Holder - Creative Cuts. I began by die-cutting the cake gift card holder from off-white and pink cardstock. I also prepared the panel by die-cutting the Sweetheart Cover - Creative Cuts from soft pink paper.

 

Next, I stamped the images from the Birthday Block Set using Shachihata Chestnut Ink on Copic-friendly paper. After coloring the images with Copic markers, I cut them out using the Birthday Block Set - Creative Cuts. Finally, I assembled all the elements as shown in the picture and completed the card by adding a money envelope from the Venice Envelope - Creative Cuts, along with a stamped birthday sentiment using the Cheeky Birthday Stamp.

MAMA ELEPHANT - JANUARY 2025 STAMPEDE

 

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

Happy New Year 2025! I’m excited to unveil my latest creative project for Mama Elephant’s January 2025 release, which showcases the adorable Counting Left and Counting Right stamp set. This delightful set includes charming numbers, accompanied by endearing Mama Elephant characters positioned on both the right and left sides. I had a wonderful time mixing and matching images from both sets to design a festive Lunar New Year card that beautifully celebrates the occasion. The vibrant colors and playful designs come together to create a memorable and cheerful greeting!

I paired with the Zodiac Snake 🐍 to celebrate the upcoming 2025 Lunar Year, which will kick off on January 29. To start my creative process, I prepared my panel card by die-cutting the new Sweetheart Cover - Creative Cuts and Blooming Window - Creative Cuts.

Next, I stamped the numbers from the Counting Left and Counting Right set using Shachihata Ink in Chestnut on Copic-friendly paper, then cut them out with the coordinating dies. The snake is from the Zodiac Snake set, and the small Daruma is from the Lucky Cat set.

 

For the sentiment, I stamped the phrase from "New Beginnings" with Shachihata Ink in Peony and cut it out using the coordinating dies. Finally, I assembled everything onto the card as shown in the picture.

MAMA ELEPHANT - NOVEMBER DESIGNER SERIES

 

Hello everyone, it's Vera! I'm excited to share my latest project featuring the Build a Bouquet stamp set. For this project, I created circle-shaped cards using the new Deckled Circles - Creative Cuts.

I started by stamping all the images with Shachihata Ink in Chestnut, then colored them with alcohol markers and cut them out using the coordinating die. Next, I die-cut four pieces from off-white cardstock using the Deckled Circles - Creative Cuts, and one piece from dark green paper. For the green piece, I die-cut it again using the Landscape Trio - Creative Cuts, and then I assembled everything together as shown in the picture below.

**SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR YOU CARD**

The sentiments "For You" and "Special Delivery" are from the Stems and Sprigs set. I also added a small message inside the card ♥

**PAPER HUGS CARD**

For this card, I used the sentiment "Sometimes there are no words" from the Thinking of You stamp set and included a die-cut of "Paper Hugs."

Thanks for joining me! I hope you find today's project inspiring!
