I'm sure you've checked out Mama Elephant by now, but just in case you haven't, here's why you should: the designs are fun, fresh, clean, and amazingly versatile. The best part is that you can use them for cards or scrapbook layouts!


 Materials used: Mama Elephant Nursery Deco, Memento Ink in London Fog, K&Company Actopus to Zelephant Wood, Bazzill Cardstock, CTMH Embossing Powder, Making Memories Sticker Tape, Washi Tape


A closer look: When you first look at the Mama Elephant Nursery Deco set, the immediate thought is to make a really cute new baby card. But as you can see, you can do a lot just by repeating the alphabet sign stamp. It is absolutely perfect for scrapbooking. The layout actually spells out "San Fran Love" when you piece all the red letters together. To create this look, simply stamp the alphabet sign lined up with 2" photos in a design that works for you. Then using a darker embossing powder, apply with a glue pen by tracing the letters you want to highlight. Heat with a heat gun and you're done!

Don't forget to check out Mama Elephant to see who's on the rest of the Design Team and for more details and chances to win a $20 Mama Elephant gift certificate!

Thanks for stopping by!
