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.

  • More Cutest Cow projects by our Artist of the Month!


    Wait until you see the rest of Deloris's projects with the Cutest Cow bundle! 

    This first card is a fun scene in an accordion style or 'stepper card' that she cased from Queen Bee Creations. 

    She used Granny Apple Green with Black & White. She added a sky background using blending brushes. She fussy cut her grass. The greeting is punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 1/2", 5", 6 3/4", 8 1/2" & 9 3/4"
    • Grass layers are 5 1/4" wide and approximately 2" & 1 5/8" high
    • White sponged layer 5" X 3 3/4"
    • Black is 5 1/4" X 4" 

    Next is a fun play on a 'purple cow'. Have you ever had that drink?  Ice cream added to grape soda – yum!

    How cute is this!?  Her colors include Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Black & White. The die-cuts are from the wonderful & popular Nested Essentials dies seen here. 

    And lastly a scene directly from the farm! Deloris used to have milk cows on her farm so she knows cows!   

    Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Black & White. The designer paper is from the Glorious Gingham pack seen here. The Banner greeting die is also from the Nested Essentials dies. 

    Thank you Deloris for sharing your incredible projects with us!  

     

    As you can see with her adorable projects, the Cutest Cow bundle is super cute & fun to create with!  The stamp set & punch will be sold in the new Annual Catalog coming out in May. It will not be available in a bundle at 10% off though; the items will be sold separately.

  • Amazing Artist of the Month projects with the Cutest Cow bundle!


    Deloris chose to feature the Cutest Cow bundle for her Artist of the Month projects. She did an incredible job showcasing this cute bundle! 

    First is an adorable 'barn' card. Who wouldn't love to receive this fun card? 

    Isn't that the best way to feature these cows!?  She cased Queen Bee Creations for this idea. I love the rooster in the window! 

    Measurements: 

    • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". Make a mark 1" inside the fold and 1" above & below the fold line on the edge. Score. 
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4" – trim off upper corners to fit the fold
    • White strips to form the barn roof are 3/8" and the door are 1/4". 
    • Old Olive grass she cut into a wave shape and used her scissors to create grass

    Here's the inside view: 

    Next is a sunrise 'Rocker' card using Old Olive & Daffodil Delight. 

    The Deckled Circles are a must for these cards! See them here in our Online Store. 

    Here are her fun 3d projects: 

    For the cow tail candy wrap she used our Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP cut with a Deckled circle die. She simply added a few score lines to the middle so it would stand up.

    The Udder Stick (chapstick) holder was cased from Cards by TLC and features Berry Burst Glorious Gingham DSP. 

    I'll share more of her cute projects tomorrow!

    As you can see with her projects, the Cutest Cow bundle is super cute!  The stamp set & punch will be sold in the new Annual Catalog coming out in May. It will not be available in a bundle at 10% off though; the items will be sold separately.

  • Latte Love Book Binding Z-fold with free project sheet


    I am in love with this fun fold!  I call it a 'Book-binding' Z fold card.  

    This one is made with the A Little Latte designer paper seen here.  It's part of our huge bunch of Online Exclusive products.

    The card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4" with two score lines (see the measurements in the free project sheet below). Then you add a second layer to the front flap to create this unique but easy fold.  

    I'm surprised this trendy designer paper hasn't sold out yet!  

    Below you can see both versions of this card we made at my March card clubs.  

    The coffee cups were fussy cut from the designer paper.  The stamps on the left are from the Latte Love bundle seen here.  The tag on front is from the Tailored Tags dies seen here.  I use these all of the time!  

    I created a free project sheet you can download or print. These project sheets are so handy to have in an idea binder or folder. Download March 24 Club A Little Latte book binding

    If you own this fun designer paper you might like my PDF tutorial for 5 more card designs on my Tutorial Shop here.
