Hippest Hippos; lots of creative ideas for you!

Today I'm sharing some wonderful swap cards I received from other talented Demonstrators – all featuring the Hippest Hippos stamp set & Hippo dies.  They're both free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order during July & August.

But remember these Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last.  Already they are out of TWO choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  The Rings of Love 12" DSP and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes.  So if you have something from the SAB catalog on your wish list; get it soon!

What an amazing scene Amanda created here!  So many details!  I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here.  The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items.  Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water.  The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

One of my favorites was made by Gwen.  The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!!

Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies.  Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue.  The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background.  The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  See them here.

This cute card was made by Amy Storrie.  I love the sunglasses!  The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly!  Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.  

You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here.  Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit!  Offer good through Saturday, July 30th.

• A neat Accordion Fun-Fold with the new Marbled Elegance – video too!

  November 12, 2024

  ---

  I played with the Marbled Elegance suite on last week's video and created this card: 

  Save

  The colors include Melon Mambo, Soft Sea Foam and Gold. I used lots of products from this new Suite including the Marbled Elegance DSP, the new Twisted Gold thread and the new Adhesive-backed heart sequins. I also used the Modern Herringbone embossing folder and the Sentimental Park dies for the greeting die-cut. 

  See this pretty suite here:

  The front and back of this card are panels measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the inside is an accordion fold that is attached to the front and back. Such an easy fold to make and I like that it uses your cardstock efficiently.

  I love the color combo of Pretty in Pink & Lost Lagoon.  But there are many other things to admire about this beautiful card:

  • the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder seen here
  • the Distinktive stamps that provide two-toned stamped images effortlessly
  • The fun-fold design – it's a book-binding Z-fold! 
  • the greeting is from the new Hearts of Elegance stamp set seen here
  • the pretty Lost Lagoon soft cording seen here

  Here's the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder:

  I used the very center strip on the embossing folder for the Pink textured layers on my cards.
