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.

    Crafters are always ready for new products, right?  Even if you think you there will always be more that you 'need'!  It's not hoarding or collecting if you actually use it, right?

    The card base is Misty Moonlight and the three 1 1/4" strips are Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Cinnamon Cider.  I added the greeting die-cuts in White and Bumble Bee. These pretty die-cuts are from the Tasteful Labels dies on page 179; they're awesome and one of my favorites I've used a ton.

  • Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!


    For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards.  There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper.  Look!

    On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink.  The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets.  The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here

    Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set.  I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set.  I cannot wait to share it with you!  

    I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once.  It's close!

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
    • short pieces are 1" X 3"
    • stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
    • Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8" 

    This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay.  I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

    The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.  

    Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron. 

    Each week I share the measurements for our Monday stamp sessions a day or two early. Everyone preps their card supplies and create right along with me on my Facebook Page.  They're loving my quick & simple cards; we make 3 each week on Monday nights at 7:30 pm CT. You can see the cards we're making tonight!  Join us here!
