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.

  • Honey Bee Fun Fold-card with Golden Honey paper

    Here's a unique fun fold card that's super easy too!  We made them at my March card clubs.  

    They had a choice of colors, either Pineapple Punch or Lovely Lipstick to go with the Golden Honey specialty designer paper. Unfortunately this gorgeous paper is no longer available; they ran out of it a few weeks ago.  It was free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion that is still happening!  Be sure to get your favorites while supplies last and before March is over!

    On the above card we stamped the hive in Pineapple Punch and added a few die-cut bees and a greeting.   Here's the inside view:

    And below is the Lovely Lipstick version.  Each of the cards uses the Honey Bee bundle seen on page 30 of your January – June mini catalog.  Click here to see it online.  The Detailed Bee dies have been unavailable for a few weeks but I hope they'll be back soon!

  • Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat

    I made this project on this week's Facebook Live.  Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here. 

    I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!

    I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate. 

    It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches.  I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock.  The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny!  These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock.  I hope they get more in soon. 

    That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog.  They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon.  The Poppies products have been very popular!

    These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172.  See them here.

    Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper a lot lately.  We have it in every color; that's 50 colors!  It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog.  Or see it here.

    The greeting is from the A Wish for Everything.  It has 38 stamps!  It's one of my picks for your free stamp set that you can choose in your Starter Kit.  Why not get a nice big valued stamp set free?  Details below; or click here. 

    Remember that if you want to purchase some of these items to order this month.  Why not get something extra free with your order!  And if you have a big wish list, I suggest you purchase the starter kit and get Free shipping, a bonus free stamp set, a free paper trimmer, a free designer paper sampler and $125 in product of your choice.  All for $99!

  • Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

    I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do.  I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!  

    Even this reflection technique is simple to create.  Do you know why?  Because of the reversible nature of these stamps.  The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card.  The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

    This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March.  And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too!  You can see this bundle here. 

    If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways.  First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together.  Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them! 

     

    Mountain Air set. Save

    Details for the card above:

    1.  I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath. 
    2.  I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection. 
    3.  Next the mountain reflection. 
    4.  Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.  
    5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. 
    6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate
