Hey friends! I’m back to playing with the September Mama Elephant release and wanted to share this fun gingerbread house I created with the new docket stamps. It’s such a fun way to use these sets!

So, I cut the Docket Lil Home from kraft cardstock and a white roof, then ink blended the kraft for depth and to help the cut lines stand out more. Next, I chose 4 images from the Holiday Lil Docket stamps to color and cut out.

This left the circle at the top open which wasn’t working for me. So I went digging and chose one of the Little Agenda Elf images to add. Isn’t he adorable!?! Next, I cut a piece of green cardstock for my background panel and splattered it with unicorn watercolor paint.

It was a little too simple for my liking so I chose to cut the new Waffle Weave Frame from light blue cardstock to adhere over the green. Then I popped the house up with foam tape and added a sentiment banner at the bottom of that.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to some bit of each image, even if it was small. I love the shine in the light. It adds so much in the end!

Welcome everyone! Today I get to be part of the Mama Elephant Designer Series of posts for the new anniversary release. I love every bit of this release so much, it was hard to choose a project to highlight today. If you haven’t gotten your order in yet, be sure to do so and get your holiday crafting kicked off right!

This card features the new Round Tag Buddies with all their cuteness and accessories! The Round Tag Sentiments stamp set is a must have to expand the use of this set too! It has the round sentiments for everything from thank you to birthday and holiday.

After coloring and die cutting my images I went back and heat embossed my sentiment on the ornament so it would really pop. Then I added a couple of hearts to the center from different Mama Elephant die sets I had in my stash.

Once that was done, I switched to my card front. The background is die cut from the Shimmer Lights cover plate and glued it to a white card base. Then I cut the largest bow from the Take a Bow set from red cardstock and lined the back with foam strips. After threading ribbon through the ornament, I glued it to the back of the bow before adhering both to the card front.

Then, for finishing touches, I added glossy accents to my puppy nose and white gel pen highlights to him and the center heart. Isn’t it the sweetest?!?

Hello everyone. I’m back with more inspiration featuring the Mama Elephant Anniversary release. I wanted to highlight some of the non-holiday images in the Little Wolf Agenda set and how fun they are to use outside of Christmas.

I love the two with the pencil and paintbrush especially so I gravitated toward them immediately. I wanted a third to round out the visual triangle so I stuck with a cutie that wasn’t holding anything this time. Once those were stamped and die cut, I switched to playing with the fun Cute Clipboard die set. I created my clipboard and cut a couple pieces of paper.

Then I pulled out the Write With Me stamps to add decorations to my paper. Aren’t they perfect?!? I was quite tickled with myself. I glued all of these elements together and popped the wolves up with foam squares.

For my card base, I went with a light yellow ink direct to the card front so there is a texture to the color in person. Then I cut the Curly Screen Frame layers from white and teal cardstocks. They are glued together and popped up on the card front, with the clipboard being popped up on that as wel.

For finishing touches today I just added glossy accents to the wolf noses, and paint brush and pencil bits.

Hi everyone! Today is the final day of highlights from the Mama Elephant Anniversary release and we’re sharing inspiration for the Winter Wolf stamp set. This pairs perfectly with the Little Wolf Agenda set but also super fun on its own. Today I have an ornament tag to share with you.

I started by stamping and coloring my couple of images from the Winter Wolf stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then we switch gears to creating the fun snow globe tag using the Arch Snow Globe die set.

This set has the elements to create a winter scene with the hills and trees or skip those elements and make your own. It also has the frame to turn your snow globe into a shaker and let the snow really fall. I cut the elements from white cardstock today and used blending brushes to add color to my base, trees, sky and snow mounds.

I spritzed the sky with water and blotted it dry before using liquid glue to adhere all the pieces together. My sentiment on the bottom comes from the Winter Wolf stamp set which I stamped in red. (RIP to my beautiful stamp that is now stained for life. Why does red have to do you dirty like that all the time?)

I popped my images up with foam squares and moved on to finishing touches. For this I added clay snowflakes around the sky and framing the sentiment. Then I finished with glossy accents on noses and stardust Stickles on the snowballs.

Hi again! Today we’re back highlighting the Round Tag sentiments that go with the Round Tag Buddies we saw yesterday. To focus on the sentiments I went digging for ways to use them without the buddies at all and I found something super fun!

Not only do they fit perfectly in the circle from the Simple Bookmark die set, but almost all of the little agenda critters fit in the center of the sentiments! *NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED* To say I was excited by this is a serious understatement.

For these, I cut the bookmark die from patterned paper and another from white cardstock and glued them together for stability. Then I cut the circles from white cardstock and stamped my sentiments on each one. I lightly ink blended the centers before adding my Little Agenda Wolves with foam squares to that.

I finished both off with glossy accents and stardust Stickles because it’s me and everything needs sparkle and shine!

Welcome friends! Today the Mama Elephant stamp highlights continue with the Round Tag Buddies set. This is such a fun set to create tags and ornaments for the holidays and other occasions too! The critters don’t have accessories attached so if you leave off the holiday specific they would be great for birthday gift bags and cards!

However, because the holidays are right around the corner (I heard that gasp, you know they’ll be here before we know it.) I stuck to a set of gift tags with a variety of sentiments on them. I also chose a sweet accessory to add to each one.

Because these are tags, I die cut an additional blank shape to glue to the back of each tag. It gives stability and a clean place to write the name or message. This stamp set comes with a to and from stamp which I did stamp on the back of each to make things easy.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all noses and white gel pen highlights galore!

Hi there! Mama Elephant is in the middle of their stamp highlights for the anniversary release and today we get to share Little Wolf Agenda! OMG they are so cute and so fun to color!!! I kept reaching for them for repeat projects while I was creating.

For this card, I stamped my little wolves in gray ink and colored them in soft gray colors. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. You’ll notice lots have holiday items but there are a fair amount with empty arms or generic celebration things like balloons and stars. This is another fabulous little agenda set to add to your collection!

I die cut my background from the Square Grid cover plate and lined it with acetate for a shaker. The bits inside are a super fine glitter so it’s just shimmery behind the spritzed paint. I popped my wolves up with foam tape and switched to my sentiment next.

The sentiment is from Everything Nice which has the chunky big sentiments and the smaller sub sentiments included. So I stamped and cut the larger one and heat embossed the second on a strip. They are both popped up with foam squares and strips.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all wolf noses and bits of the images like candy cane stripes, bows and berries. Last, I added stardust Stickles to the star center on the top for sparkle too.

Hi friends! I’m so excited to be included in the Mama Elephant 14th Anniversary Release festivities! Today is day 2 of the release Stampede and I’m here with a card featuring the new Winter Wolf stamp set.

I started by stamping and coloring images from Winter Wolf with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I had a different layout in my head but sometimes reality changes those ideas. So I went digging in my stash and came up with the Oh So Jolly sentiment die that goes great with the frame from the Sweet Shoppe Frame dies.

I cut the frame and sentiment from red cardstock. Then trimmed a piece of green cardstock to back my frame with. I splattered it with unicorn watercolor before popping the frame up with foam strips. Then, I ink blended white pigment ink on the top of the sentiment to help it stand out before adding foam strips to that so it would lay on the same height as the frame.

The frame and sentiment are adhered to a white card base. Then the super cute wolves are squishing in and around that. They are adhered with a combo of liquid glue and foam squares depending where they are at.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents and stardust Stickles all around each of the images. You know I love sparkle and shine on everything!
