It’s time to kick off the Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight series and share some more inspiration with all the September release stamps! Today I’ll be sharing a project created with the Merrygrams AEIOU. This stamp set was designed to coordinate with the previously released Whimsy Alpha Creative Cuts.

I planned to spell out the words ‘Merry Xmas’ so I stamped out the ‘E’ ‘Y’ and ‘A’ letters from the Merrygrams AEIOU stamp set and colored them up with copic markers. I then die cut out the remaining letters I needed with the Whimsy Alpha Creative Cuts in a grey card stock that matched as closely I could to what I had colored.

I used the Sweet Feline Creative Cuts to create this layout with top and bottom scalloped borders on some pastel green striped pattern paper. I added all the letters and images with foam tape for dimension. I then wanted a bit more decorative items to my sentiment so I further stamped several small images from the Merrygrams AEIOU and a few more from various holiday themed sets to embellish the letters with.

I used a red cardstock base which gave it a bright edge to the card, really emphasizing those classic holiday colors!
