Hippest Hippos; lots of creative ideas for you!

July 29, 2022

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.

Another way to use the Border Basics dies – cut once for two card front!

June 28, 2023

Here's the third card I made for last week's live video; it also features the Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.

Save

My colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Cherry Cobbler and White. The flowers in this pretty designer paper are so real; you almost want to touch them.

You can see this beautiful designer paper here. It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

Save

The photo below shows both cards made with the same designer paper. I loved this pattern so well I didn't change it up for the second card.

The greeting and hearts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

Save

The pretty scalloped stitched border is made with the Border Basics dies seen here. Start with a piece of White card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and cut it in half with the scalloped die-cut. Now you have the start for two cards!

Below are all three cards made with this three products, all seen on the video below.

Cut once for two card fronts with the Border Basics dies; video tips & tutorial too

June 27, 2023

I shared one of the cards I made in last week's video and here's another one. Both feature the same three products: Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.

I used the White die-cut leftover from the card I shared yesterday on this card; basically getting two cards from one die-cut!

The Border Basics dies are wonderful and so versatile since they die-cut the stitched edge on both sides. Below is a photo of the inside of the card:

Save

The Celebrate, Happy Birthday, stars and present die-cuts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here:

Save

Here are both cards I shared; each with a different piece of the Masterfully Made CS. As you can see I added a thin line of card stock to rest the 'Celebrate' die-cut on. I love the effect!

The photo below shows both cards; one cut for two card front!

I cut the right side of the card front off (on the left card) and used that piece on the card on the right. Essentially I cut the card front in half and added it to the card on the right, adding DSP underneath to show off the angles. One cut; two cards!

Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

June 26, 2023

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done! Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

Save

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more! I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND. But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru! They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

Save

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets. I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors. I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies. This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

Save

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here. I love these and use them often. You can see them here. I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card. Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

Save

You can see this beautiful designer paper here. It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front. But I did add a greeting to the inside:
