MAMA ELEPHANT - FA LA LLAMA

Hello everyone!  Today marks the beginning of Mama Elephant's October Stamp Highlights! We're excited to unveil the new Fa La Llama stamp set, illustrated by the talented Aida Zamora. This charming clear stamp set showcases Aida's most adorable holiday llamas, all decked out in cozy sweaters and carrying delightful presents! These playful illustrations are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy and holiday cheer to your crafting projects. Whether you're creating holiday cards, tags, or decorations, these llamas are sure to bring smiles and spread festive joy!

Llama tells you, I love this set so much!
Here's what I've created with this stamp set.


To start, I begin by die-cutting the Stitches Flurries Cover Creative Cuts on dusty pink card stock and adding the silver list created from Plain Rectangle Frames - Creative Cuts to my panel card. Next, I die-cut the cloud borders from Landscape Trio Creative Cuts in two-tone colors ( light and dark mauve) and then I adhere it all together as shown on the card. The "joy to me and you" is from the Joyful Greetings set stamped with Shachihata silver gray ink.


All image from Fa La Llama was stamped on Copic-friendly paper with Shachihata Ink - Cheesnut and cut out with the coordinating die. Backed with foam tape and applied to the card and I then added some sparkle clear rhinestones and half pearl gold for the finishing touch. Here is the inside look.

MAMA ELEPHANT - OCTOBER 2024 STAMPEDE

 


Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!
Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!

Get ready to be charmed by my latest creation! I'm thrilled to unveil my newest card featuring the adorable Fa La Llama stamp set, beautifully illustrated by Aida Zamora. You won't be able to resist the cuteness!

To begin, I prepared my panel card by die-cutting the Deckled Frames from sky blue card stock. I then blended Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass onto the card and added splatters of white acrylic paint for a finishing touch. Next, I stamped the Holly and Leaves in greenish colors using a combination of Shachihata Ink in pine and yellow-green. I cut them out with the Holly and Leaves - Creative Cuts. To add a touch of sparkle, I adorned the design with cheery red rhinestones. Backed up with foam tape and adhered to the panel card, positioning it as shown in the card layout. I stamped the llamas with Shachihata Ink - Chestnut on Copic-friendly paper and cut them out with Fa La Llama - Creative Cuts

I created a striking effect by heat embossing the sentiment (deck the halls with llama joy) in white on dark red card stock and then cut it out with Quick Stripes - Creative Cuts. The result is truly eye-catching and adds a special touch to the project. At last, I put the finishing touch on my card by embellishing it with dazzling clear rhinestones.



I love adding a personal touch to the inside of the card too. For this one, I combined the cheerful sentiment from the O' Tiny Tree (falalala) with the adorable Fa La Llama as well. It's the perfect way to spread some extra holiday cheer!


I took the time to jazz up the envelope by adding a llama headshot inside the Round Tag Wishes stamp and it turned out so cute! I love it!

MAMA ELEPHANT - SEPTEMBER DESIGNER SERIES

 Hey everyone, it's Vera. Today I'm excited to share my latest project featuring the Yuletide Greetings and Elephant Cheer stamp sets.


OUR
Friendship
IS THE Star
On top OF MY
Christmas
TREE

I absolutely love the sentiment from Yuletide Greetings!


To start, I prepared my panel card. I die-cut the Postage Frame - Creative Cuts twice, once from white cardstock and once from Dusty Pink cardstock. Then, I stamped the Elephant Cheer, colored them with Copic Markers, and cut them out using the Elephant Cheers - Creative Cuts. I also stamped and die-cut the holly leaf sprigs from Holly and Leaves and placed them on the top along with a silver star to match the sentiment.


Here's a peek at the inside. I combined the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from Yuletide Greetings with words from Sparkle and Shine.


As a little extra, I created a Mini Gift Box using the Mini Bow Box - Creative Cuts.


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