Welcome to the Mama Elephant Design Team blog hop!

Our newest release is now live and available for purchase in the store!


I’ve created three gift card holders featuring the new Stitched Gift Tag-Creative Cuts.Mama Elephant-STITCHED GIFT TAG - CREATIVE CUTSI had so much fun embellishing these little puppies! Can you tell, ha ha!
Mama Elephant-STITCHED GIFT TAG - CREATIVE CUTS For the base of each tag I used patten paper by Pinkfresh Studio. I embossed a sentiment from the Girlfriends stamp set on each of the little tags.
Mama Elephant-STITCHED GIFT TAG - CREATIVE CUTSI used a fun mix of textures on the bows and added some jewel brads & gems that I’ve been hoarding for years. I had to raid my house to find some half-decent looking gift cards. Subway wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but oh well:)
Mama Elephant-STITCHED GIFT TAG - CREATIVE CUTSSo Hobby Lobby had their ribbons & trims half-off this week and mama got a bit carried away:) I’m in LOVE with the sequin ribbon, mini white pom-pom trim & chunky gold glitter ribbon. I was trying to channel my inner Rebecca Luminarias on these. I adore every single thing she makes.Mama Elephant-STITCHED GIFT TAG - CREATIVE CUTS
