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.

    February Sending Flowers. Save

    This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside.  It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame.  That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set. 

    Details:

    • The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
    • The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
    • The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily! 
    • That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.

  • Under My Umbrella Bridge fold card with video

    This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs in February.  It's a bridge fold card featuring the Under My Umbrella bundle.  See it here. 

    February Under My Umbrella Save

    To create this card you'll cut your base card short and add another short piece at the bottom. The Daffodil and Balmy Blue layers 'bridge' the base layers.  Really cool.  And I was able to die-cut the Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle from the leftover piece from the middle.  I love using my card stock so perfectly.  *See measurements below.

    The Under My Umbrella stamps and punch bundle is just $30.50 for both! It has so MANY cute images and wonderful greetings.  I just love it! We stamped the images in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with Blends markers 

    Under my Umbrella Save

    The striped and raindrops designer paper is from the Pleased as Punch paper; available while supplies last now with the Coordination Product Release special.  You can see it here.  It's so bright and springlike!

  • Thoughtful Blooms with the Small Bloom punch

    Here are a few more swap cards made by my Flowerbug's Team this month. I just love seeing what my gals create for our swaps!

    The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set coordinates with the Small Blooms punch.  See them here and here: 

    Feb Jacki Thoughtful Blooms Save

    Jacki made this beautiful card.  I love the many layers and details here. And the colors are fresh and unique – Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay and White.  She used the new Label Me Fancy punch, the Starburst punch, Leaf punch and the Painted Label dies for the swirl.  The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments set. That gorgeous texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. 

    Candace made this unique card below: 

    Feb Jacki Thoughtful Blooms Save

    Her colors are Gorgeous Grape, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.  Isn't this layout fun?!  the technique is called Triple Stamping.  You place your White layers in position as shown without the Grape layers in between and stamp on the three pieces all at once.  Then add the Grape layers and adhere to your main card.  Super easy and fun too. 

    She added a pretty greeting in Purple Posy with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (my favorite!) and the punched flowers from the Small Bloom punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Grape – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", 4 1/4" X 3 1/4" and 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • White – 4" X 5 1/4", 4" X 3" and 3" X 2"
