Hello Little Elephants ~ Monday Montage

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

The retirement list is out and I am once again in my annual mourning period.  Saying goodbye to some of my favorite stamps and supplies never gets easier...

I am inking up some of my favorite sets before I have to say good-bye.  Little Elephant and the coordinating Elephant Builder Punch is one of my favorites that just had to be used a couple more times.

In addition to the stamp set and punch retiring, the Tufted 3D Embossing folder is too...why or why is it so hard to part with some of these items?!?

And my favorite Whisper White Bakers Twine is going away too?!?!  Say it isn't so!

 These cute little elephants are just right for a new little boy or girl!  I created some cute little balloons using the circle from the Lakeside dies...they were the perfect addition!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Petal Pink
Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Petal Pink
Stamp Set ~ Little Elephant
Other Supplies ~ Elephant Builder Punch, Tufted 3D Embossing Folder, Lakeside Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies, Whisper White Bakers Twine

I'll be sharing a few more of my retiring favorites this week...be sure to check back soon!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now, on to the next stop on the hop!

Happy Stamping!

Hello Little One

Happy Friday stamping friends!  It's a Freshly Made Sketches  Friday....the perfect way to kick off the weekend!

Now that my boys are older, I find myself not creating baby cards as often as I used to.  Knowing that there are several little ones who will soon be making their way in to the world, I am doing my best to work ahead!

I love, love, LOVE the adorable Little Elephant stamp set and coordinating Elephant Builder Punch!  It's too cute and perfect for a new baby card!

Isn't the Denim Ribbon the best?!?!  It is so versatile and works for so many cards!  And look at those cute little elephant ears!  I stamped the fun stitched boarder in Petal Pink and punched them out for just the right splash of pink, working for a baby boy or a baby girl.  The Tufted 3D embossing folder isn't quite available yet in the new style of embossing folders, but I'm still happily using the older style and loving it on this card.  It reminds me of a baby blanket my youngest had!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Seaside Spray, Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Whisper White

Ink ~ Night of Navy, Petal Pink

Stamp Set ~ Little Elephant

Other Supplies ~ Elephant Builder Punch, Stitched Shapes, Tufted 3D EF, Denim Ribbon

One baby card down...a few more to go!  Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to get a few more made!

Until my next post...have a great Friday!

Happy Stamping!
