Mama Elephant November Stampede

Aloha all!  It's the 15th and that means, Mama Elephant Stampede time!  I'm stampeding with the new coordinating sets, Inline Letters Stamps and Creative Cuts Dies!  {You probably already know this, but these sets are already live on the Mama Elephant site}  The stamps and dies work together or separately (pssstt, the dies also work with previously released Flashy Letters).  

For my card, I went straight for the dies as I am wont to do;)   It just so happens that the size of the Inline Letters fits exactly on the Bold Banner!  I've been doing a bunch of dark based cards lately, so I wanted something a little lighter. So I went with the gold/mint/vellum combination.  The banner is cut in vellum and the letters are cut from a gold card stock embossed with a crosshatched pattern.  I used the Stitched Rectangle die (one of two dies included in the Femme Frames set) to create the tilted panel.  

And to ramp up the cheer factor, I stamped sequins and stars (from the new set Confetti) in gold.  I have to tell you that those sequin stamps are my new faves.  Those gold discs are just made with a standard hole punch on the same card stock I used for the letters.  I get crazy when there are too many shades of gold, so this is a good way to get a perfect match:)

That's it for me today!   Here's the list of stampeders, so you won't miss anything:) I know you're going to have fun seeing all the new sets! Those girls do some amazing stuff, don't they?
