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.

  • Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  

    I chose to use Magenta Madness.  It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.  

    I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY!  There's no guessing with stamp placement.  

    Details:

    • The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here. 
    • I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center. 
    • The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here. 
    • The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here. 
    • The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.

  • Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite


    We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here. 

    Dies featured here:

    • The Dandy Wishes dies in  the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here.  I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it.  *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow….. 
    • The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  You can see them here.  I love the double layering you get with them!!  

    This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.  

    You can see how this is assembled in the video below.  I also list the measurements below too. 

    The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back.  We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer.  We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush.  We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.  

    Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time. 

    As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors.  I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen!  This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last.  This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog. 


    Everyone who orders the Waves of the Ocean suite collection from me will receive my exclusive PDF & video for 11 beautiful projects!  


    I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'.  For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head. 

    Measurements:

    • Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2" & 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" 
      Waves of the Ocean DSP 2 1/4" X 5 1/4"
      White X2 – 3" X 4" (front & back)
      scraps of White & Navy for die-cuts
