Mama Elephant Grand Opening Stampede!

Hey you guys! Today is a very special day! You see, my sweet friend Kryssi is launching the grand opening of a new stamp company that she started with a friend: Mama Elephant!

Mama Elephant is owned and operated by two childhood friends from NYC. We are so happy to bring the collaboration of our aesthetics to Mama Elephant! Our stamps are designed with card makers and scrapbookers in mind! Our stamps are carefully curated to provide optimal versatility with a wide variety of styles – cute, whimsical, bold, graphic, and  fun!

First up, I made a window card with the Oh. Em. Gee. message. I kept it super clean and simple to keep the emphasis on the message. Check it out!

And here’s the inside! Just a little washi goes a long way here!

Next up, I *had* to play with the balloons. I wanted to see if the outline would line up with the solid balloons — knowing Krissy, I figured that it would! And once again I wanted to make a clean and simple card — this card has no layers!

Here’s a little trick that I discovered while playing with these — don’t ask me why, but when I stamped the outline first and then the solid over top I had no troubles lining them up! No need for a stamp positioner, woo!

To ground everything, I used my new mini scoring tool to make a line for the figures to stand on. Fun. And I discovered that pencil matches perfectly with soft granite, too! And the darling little bows just add the finishing touch.

That’s not all — I had to make one more card with this fun message — totally cracks me!

Ha! Too funny.

Now then, stampede on over to the next blogger in the hop: the super fabulous Joy Taylor! Be sure to leave comments all along the hop to WIN prizes!

You should have arrived here via Kryssi’s blog, sugarbuffet. Here’s the whole list below. And you can always start at the beginning at the Mama Elephant blog! There’s so many talented stampers in the lineup — don’t miss a single stop on the hop! And then! Visit Mama Elephant again tomorrow for Day 2 of the Stampede with a whole new lineup of artists! WOO!  :)
