Hello Friends, How’s it going? It’s been hotter than you know what here on the East Coast. I am hoping that things cool down soon. Nothing like some awesome stamps to get your mind off of things. Mama Elephant teamed up with Simon Says Stamp to create an awesome EXCLUSIVE stamp set for STAMPtember. Woo Hoo! I have two cards to share with you today.
Honestly I had so much fun building little scenes with this stamp set but, don’t get me wrong… it’s a stamp alone stamp set too. Perfect for a clean and simple card. The stamp set is called “Skater Kids” and it’s super easy to roll with it! 
If you are like me and don’t plan your sentiments this set called, “Small Talk” is perfect for no planning because it fits anywhere.
The super fine tip marker was used to add some eyelashes, eyebrow and details on the clothing. I created a frame with one of the stamps in the set.
Lots of masking but, I love the results when you mask off an image. (There is a matching die cut but, I was away for the weekend and didn’t bring my die cutting machine)
Lots of tiny details on this one. I added enamel accents to the noses and glossy accents to the eyes & skate boards. I used my urber thin detailed marker again..this time to add hairs sticking up on the little guys and a few eyelashes too.
Do you live on the East Coast? Have you heard that Mama Elephant is celebrating their 3rd Anniversary and it’s FREE!!! How fun is that! Click here to sign up. I offered to come and help them in any way and I am super excited…I might even be doing some coloring demos I hope to see you there. Thanks for your visit today it’s always appreciated. Hugs, Kathy

Love this set…love what you’ve done with it more. Incredible little stories you’ve made for these critters. Made me smile and the coloring is out of this world. Hope you cool down soon. The west coast isn’t doing much better in the heat department…hope we cool down soon, too.
Really cute characters to play with! Fun cards Kathy!
Beautiful cards!! Love your coloring!!

Fabulous cards and coloring! And I’m registered to go to the ME anniversary event!!!
It always seems like all the fun paper crafting events are on the west coast so I love it when ME has something in the area. I went to the one they hosted with Kelly Purkey a couple years ago too. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to say hello and maybe meet you!
Super duper cuuuuuute!!! You make these ME images come to life. Wish I could be in NYC when you help out….! Hugs!
These are sooooooo cute!!!!
Super adorable cards and stamp set, Kathy. Also love the Small talk set. The ME event sounds fun, but I’m afraid NYC is too far from Crete.

FUN cards and … as always … FABULOUS colouring!!!
Great cards Kathy. Love how you added those little extras, hairy bits, eye brows eyelashes. You really rock it.
Good morning…your cards are adorable…love the little characters and your coloring is always awesome.
My prize from your last giveaway arrived yesterday and I’m so excited. There were 5 stamps in the bundle…WOW…how nice. Thank you again.
My surgery day is tomorrow, so I’m going to try to use my prize stamps today to keep my mind occupied on something not stressful.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing your talent.
These are so fabulous and cute. I love all the little details you pay attention to and how you color! I would LOVE for you to demo coloring at the ME event!
I’m so excited to meet you and hopefully you won’t be bothered by my fangirling and trying to squeeze you into a bunch of selfies with my phone. LOL. Thanks for being so sweet!
If only this event wasn’t during bow season!! Would love to attend if only to meet you face to face!! Will have to talk to my neighbor and BFF to see if she is up for a road trip with an old hag like me!
Your cards are adorable!!! Definitely need to add this set to my stash!! TFS!

I love it when you mask and add little things to the people/critters and anything else you get your sweet hands on. lol those eye lashes and little hairs sticking up was so cute. I will have your voice in my head when I finally get back to making cards. thanks for all you do, love, treen

So darn cute Kathy!! This scene card is precious.
Your cards are totally adorable! I’m still loving the “eyelash” lines and the other lines on the images!
What a cute stamp set and the cards are adorable! I would love to attend the ME party, but it’s too far for me (sad face). Congrats to ME for celebrating three years!
Kathy, ADORABLE cards, such talent, your coloring is just beautiful !!! You must have such a steady hand to make those tiny eyelashes and tiny details, I would be shaking so bad I would hate to see how it would come out, lol. I live in N,Y, and would love to attend, what fun, and what an amazing thrill it would be to meet you in person !!!. I see on their site that everyone is sooo excited to meet you in person and so happy that you are the surprise guest. What a great feeling to be so loved and have SO MANY fans!! (Me being on of them, of course).
HoW CuTe!!! What I wouldn’t give to be able to come watch you color in person.
Love the cards!!!! Thank you
I love your cards and still haven’t tried masking but hopefully I will soon. I am starting to look at my images and wonder where I can add eyelash lines. Made a flower look really pretty. Wish I could go to the Impress thing and meet you but I live in Vegas.
Love both cards! Your work is fantastic!
Oh my goodness perfection!
So many beautiful cards! Love mama elephant stamps.
