Mama Elephant Stampede

I am beyond thrilled to be a special guest in celebration of Mama Elephant’s 2nd Anniversary Stampede. The gals at Mama Elephant are such an inspiration to me and I must say, their stamps have quickly become my favorite brand. They have a knack for creating the perfect cute, whimsical and classic sets and their sentiments sets are superb.

Today I’m sharing their new set Block Party Letters, along with Polar Pals (a set previously released). I used the new letters to create “MERRY” and then I masked off one of the sentiments from Polar Pals to get the “and bright” sentiment.

My readers will know that I love shaker cards and it has been a little while since I created one. I thought today was the perfect time to fix this! Seriously, how scrumptious is this Aquamarine, Raspberry and Sparkling Clear mixture?

If you are new to sequin shakers, I put together a video showing how to make your own. It’s not as overwhelming as it may look, I promise! It has been such a joy to see so many of you making sequin shakers after watching my tutorial. Seeing that my video has inspired you totally makes the work behind it so worth it!
