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.

• New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees

  January 5, 2026

  ---

  Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

  Save

  This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

  I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

  Save

  Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

  After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
  The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

  Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

  As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

  Save

  Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.
