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.

• Gorgeous Delicate Lace Thinlits on sale; while supplies last!

  May 29, 2020

  This pretty card is a project we made at my Card Clubs in May.  I found it on Pinterest.  I just had to use some of these retiring items one more time before they're gone for good!  

  Save

  Retiring items:

  • Delicate Lace Edgelits – was $29; now just $11.60
  • Magnolia Lane Bulk designer paper

  The Petal Pink & Champagne ribbon and the Magnolia Lane designer paper is sold out now but they do still have the bulk package.  It includes 20 sheets of two different double sided patterns of this pretty paper including the one I used here!  You can see it here.

  My favorite deal on the Last Chance list are these gorgeous edgelit dies (seen here).  I cannot believe they're just $11.60 instead of $29 originally.  Remember they're on the list while supplies last!

• A Good Man double point fold card; it’s super easy!

  May 28, 2020

  ---

  It was so nice to be able to meet and stamp with many of my Club members this month.  Our state has eased the guidelines for meetings so most of my gals chose to join me for Club this month.  Many of us really needed to get together and play/stamp again. 

  One of our cards was this Double Point fold card; it's super cool and so very easy!

  Save

  And it really makes the best use of your designer paper.  Not a bit of waste!  Each card needs two pieces of 3" X 4" designer paper.  Score it at 1" along the long edge and then fold each corner to the center of the fold like this: 

  Save

  I used the Come Sail Away designer series paper here; it's still available while supplies last here. 

  Here's a quick video for you on putting this card together.  I used the A Good Man stamp set and as you can see; you don't have to color in some of these sketch style images.  They're beautiful just as they are!

• Easy Seriously the Best Diagonal Strips cards

  May 27, 2020

  ---

  I made these fun diagonal stripes cards on a recent Facebook Live.  It's so simple to do!  

  I used one of my favorite stamp sets; Seriously the Best here. I love the pretty bold font!  You can see it here.  It also coordinates with the Seriously the Best cards kit; which is 60% off! 

  Save

  I chose to use the retiring 6 X 6" 2019-21 In Color paper pack.  It's still available while supplies last and is sale right now here!

  Save

  
  

  The strips are 1" long; you need about two of each at 1" X 6".  Here's how to make it:

  • You'll need one piece of White CS measuring 4" X 5 1/4" to adhere the strips to.
  • Adhere two DSP strips across from end to end leaving a little space between the two.  Tip: 6" is a little short so I cut the Peacock strip in half and separated it a bit under the greeting.
  • Now you'll add short lengths of DSP perpendicular to the first two strips, alternating colors and leaving a bit of space between them all.
  • Now you can trim off the excess even with the original White CS piece.  
  • Adhere to your main card (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") 

  Save

  You might notice the cute little flowers on the greeting tags and that pretty, stitched die-cut.  Well these are new products coming out in the upcoming new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog!  The flowers are a new border punch and the dies are part of the Tasteful Label dies. 

  You can order these items on June 3rd! (or purchase the Stampin' Up! Starter kit and you can add them to your $125 in product!)  Read about that here.
