baby elephant

I am so in love with this sweet elephant stamp from the Sale-A-Bration set Patterned Occasions (see images below). The other images are super fun, too, but there's just something about this cute little elephant that I adore! You can earn this set FREE with a $50 catalog product purchase (check out other Sale-A-Bration freebies HERE).

Over the past few days I have created two card designs using this sweet elephant. This first design was for my monthly card club that met this last Monday. I chose to leave off the sentiment that is on the stamp ("thanks a ton") and instead, decided that if I wanted to I would add a greeting to the inside of the card. I think BABY when I see this elephant, so that was my intention for this card, but it would be cute for a little girl's birthday, too.
