Mama Elephant: Woodland Gifts

Hi! Welcome to Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight weekend. This release is awesome and I'm so excited to share the new Woodland Gifts stamp set today. This stamp set was illustrated by the super talented Elena Roussakis. I know you'll adore these animals just like I do!


For my card I started with a base cut from Sew Fancy. I knew I was going to frame out a scene but wanted to extend the scene beyond the frame so I added the tall grass cut with the new Grass Trio. Next I worked on the scene, starting with stamping, coloring and die cutting the animals from Woodland Gifts. Next I die cut a white background with Starburst Cover. I made sure my "sandwich" wasn't too tight so the stars would stay in, then lightly colored them with Copics. Finally I stamped the log and mushroom in Moonlight and shaded them in to create a soft background.


I mentioned in my last post that I LOVE making my own die cut frames. Today I have another combo for you (be sure to check out my last post if you haven't already). This time I used the smaller frame from Sew Fancy with the journaling card from Peek a Frame. My final touch for this card was tucking in a cloud, cut from Stitched Sky, at the top of my frame.

What is your favorite stamp set from this release?

Mama Elephant Stampede!

Welcome to the Mama Elephant Release Design Team blog hop! The newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store! www.mamaelephant.com I created a card with three of the new stamp sets. It features Freestyle Florals plus stamps from Zenith Borders and Bear Hugs.  I started by die cutting a white mat from Femme Frames . Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves from Freestyle Florals in several colors of pigment ink . I sponged a few coordinating colors around the edges. Next I die cut a tag from Tags a Lot . I didn't need the entire tag so I used the Femme Frames die again to trim off the top which added the stitched border.  I stamped the sentiment from Bear Hugs and the branches from Femme Frames. The card was finished with my favorite background from Zenith Borders. This is a knock out release. I know you'll love it! To celebrate the new release, Mama Elephant is picking 3 winners to win their choice of stamp set...
