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. 

Hippo set & dies Save

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!  

 

Hippos Amanda Save

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!!

Hippos Kelly Save

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.

Hippos Amy Save

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.

  • Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb

    Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

    August Barb Fresh as a Daisy fold Save

    It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

    She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

    Measurements:

    Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.

    The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

    Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

    August Barb Cheerful Daisies double pop up Save

    I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

    This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

    August Barb double pop up Save

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

  • Check out these Cheerful Daisy projects; WOW!!

    Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!  

    This first card is a super neat fun fold card showing off the Countryside Corners dies seen here.
