Howdy! I'm here to share a few more Mama Elephant cards with you. I am pleased to be their guest this month. I get to show you projects using two of the new January stamp sets today, Starry Night and Cosmic Stars. These sets are all designed around the astrology symbols -- Cosmis Stars has 12 adorable little astrological characters and Starry Nights is filled with lots of great sentiments. These sets could cover lots of different uses.
For my first card, I used a couple of the cute little critters from Cosmic Stars to create a baby card.
I stamped them using Memento ink and colored them with Copics. The "hello" sentiment is from the Starry Night set. The "baby" sentiment is American Crafts Thickers.
My second card uses several different stamps from the Starry Night set to create a great boyish card.
There are several different lengths of dashed lines with stars on the end. I stamped them several times to create a graphic grid-like design. I added in some Studio Calico wood stars and an embellishment cluster in the top left corner.
Thanks so much for stopping by today to take a peek at my cards. These new Mama Elephant stamps are available from Mama Elephant's site, or Simon Says Stamp! I'll be back tomorrow with a couple more cards using Type It and Smitten!
JUST gorgeous, Betsy! I love that baby card and all the textiles you represent there. The composition on the stars card is other-worldly good!!

Both cards are fantastic, but that star card blows me away! It looks so amazingly difficult to design!! You have it perfectly balanced. Love, love, love!! Great inspiration.
