Cows or Hippos? Your choice!


Here's another adorable card I shared in my video yesterday.  I featured projects with the Hippest Hippos stamp set & Hippo dies.  This time I turned them into cows!  It's so easy to change them up!  

I simply left the main body white and added splotches of Black spots here and there.  I colored their faces and bellies in with a Light Petal Pink blends marker. 

I used our new Masking Paper to add 'grass' on the lower part of the card.  I used Blending Brushes for this and the sky.  

I had left over packets from Club and made a bunch.  I sent them out as thank you cards for online orders.  Did you get one?   

Here's a choice for you; which do you prefer?  I shared the lower right card yesterday and changed it up from hippos to cows.  Either works in my opinion!  Get the details in yesterday's post here. 

The measurements are listed in the photo below.  

And here's the video below; I hope you enjoy it!

  • Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique


    This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making.  It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique. 

    The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order.  It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive.  This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created. 

    The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store. 

    Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

    You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers.  I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately. 

    Measurements:

    • Poppy Parade 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • Beautifully Penned DSP seen here (free now during Sale-a-Bration) 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 " X 3 1/2"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 
    • Black 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"

  • Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


    Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in.  I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.  

    It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match.  It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!  

    The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies.  You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles.  What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame!  See it here in the online store. 

    Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first.  Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center.  Then huff and stamp.  Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.
