Hello, crafters! It’s definitely the start of the festive season, so today I have a Christmas card for you featuring the Mama Elephant Tree Picking set. I kept it really simple, using just one stamp set, one ink pad and some alcohol markers. I stamped out the car in some Hero Arts Contour Ink – this is really great for…
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today with some tips for creating non-Christmas themed cards with Christmas-themed stamps. I have a friend who absolutely loves gnomes and her anniversary is coming up, so the cute little couple from the Mama Elephant Little Girl Gnome Agenda stamp was perfect! This one was super simple to create – just…
Hello, I’m back today on the Seven Hills Crafts blog with this summary camping critters scene, featuring the Avery Elle Camping Critters and Mama Elephant Scene Builder Stamp.

I’m filling in for Deborah today on the Seven Hills Crafts blog with a bright and fun birthday scene featuring the Mama Elephant Pinata Party and Mama Elephant Stackable Friends stamp sets.

More often recently I am finding I am creating cards that move towards the CAS – clean and simple – style. Lots of white space, one layer and perhaps one central image. Sometimes, just adding a simple shaped background can frame your central image and create a focal point. Today, I used the Mama Elephant Fuzzy Hugs stamp set, two sentiment sets…
I say this every time Mama Elephant come out with one of these sets, but I love the new Penguin’s Waddle stamp set. They are so great for practicing your colouring and you have a scene card created without much effort. I’m sharing this festive themed card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today!

I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with this one layer winter scene featuring the Snow Friends stamp set from Mama Elephant’s latest release.

It’s a good way to get…

I started out by stamping this…
