Hello everyone!! Did you know that the Studio Calico December release features 2 sets of exclusive clear stamps designed by Mama Elephant? The response to last month's Cuppa kit Mama Elephant stamps was amazing, and I'm sure you'll love the stamps in the December card kit, Blue Note, and add-on, Cole. My first card is using the Blue Note card kit...

The Blue Note kit included a packet of the cutest plastic stars and that's what I build my card around. I actually used the stars to emboss a cool pattern over the front of my card. I just sprinkled the stars over my panel and put it through the Big Shot (no embossing pads at all). Then I blended ink over the panel to really bring out the embossing. Fun stuff! My next card uses supplies from the Cole add-on...
Seriously, this add-on has the cutest papers and embellishments! And I'm in love with the sentiments in that stamp set! I wanted to do a non-holiday card with this set, so I went graphic and CAS. My favorite part is that natural bark star which has been inked up in gold *sigh*.
That's it for me, folks! Don't forget just like last month, there's a giveaway going on at this hop! Click on over to the Mama Elephant site for all the details and to get the blog hop list!
