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.

• Pretty Florals fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

  May 5, 2025

  ---

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video.  It' features lots of new products from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog. Yay! This catalog & lost of new product goes live tomorrow! 

  Save

  My colors include Misty Moonlight with Timid Tiger and White.  The floral stamp set is called Pretty Florals and will be available on May 6th. The greeting is from the Blooming Phrases set.  

  I believe this fun fold is called a diamond fold.  It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" card base with two score lines.  Where the diamond layers are added is the second score line.  Simply trim off the excess on the left side of the diamond layers.  *watch the video here to understand

  Save

  This is one of those cards where the video helps you more than a tutorial does.  Please watch the video below to understand how this fold works. 

  But if you like having the instructions with measurements here's the free project tutorial for you.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Pretty Florals diamond fold

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more too. Both are made with this upcoming bundle from the new 2025-26 Annual Catalog. It goes live on May 6th.

• Yay! My New Catalog Launch Party is tomorrow!

  May 2, 2025

  ---

  With each new catalog I host an open house for my local customers.  I love prepping for these because it gets my display boards done.  The best part is that I get to see people I don't get see regularly.  It's a joy to watch friends meet up and visit while browsing the new catalog. I also truly enjoy planning my menu and treating them to lots of yummy food. 

  Save

  This event is in Minot, ND at my home studio. If you're local I hope you can stop in and pick up your new catalog!

  One of the most popular things I offer with the new Annual Catalog is my In Color bundle.  They love getting the new colors in a great sampling of new color products they can enjoy right away.
