I have been wanting to connect these elephants since I got this set!  Craziness you might say since the elephant is a single stamp - not so!  It was made easy by the Stamp-a-ma-jig ($11.95) which is a nifty tool found on page 7 of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog, item #101046

I am so excited that spring is around the corner and it is time to use bright, cheery, non-Holiday colors again.  This card went together fairly easily, it's always the IDEA that takes so long.  Now, whipping out multiples would be easy!  Yes, I did use 3 stamp sets but one of them is free with a $50 purchase through March 22.  Patterned Occasions, available in wood or clear mount (the set that included the elephant) is one of the Sale-A-Bration choices you get when you spend $50 at my Stampin' Up! website or directly through me.

OH, HELLO!

Happy New Year!

I've got a simple card to share that I made for a swap with my Stamp Ladies group.
This card high lights a few new products from Stampin' Up!  The elephant comes from a Sale-A-Bration set called Patterned Occasions.  Yes, it's Sale-A-Bration (SAB) time now through March 22.  With every $50 purchased you get to choose an item from the SAB brochure free.  The link to both catalogs are there on the left.

The paper I used here is also a SAB choice.  The Oh, Hello sentiment comes from a set called "Oh, Hello and it's a set from the Occasions catalog.  This set also includes a Thanks So Much and a You're Invited sentiment and I've found the set very versatile.  I have a few other cards I just made that I'll post this week.
