IS IT A HIPPO OR A COW?

July 13, 2022

One of the new Sale-a-Bration stamp sets is called Happy Hippo. But is it a hippo or a cow. In this blog post you will see three really cute cards that I created with this stamp set and then you can decide, Is is a Hippo or a Cow?


The stamp set is a Free with a $50 purchase during the months of July & August 2022. However, don't wait too long because when it is gone, it's gone! This stamp set also has coordinating dies which you can also receive FREE if you order another $50. So for a $100 order you can receive the Bundle and it has lots of fun dies including goggles, pizza, flowers, bucket, umbrella, snorkel and more!!


All three cards use the same measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 x 4 Parakeet Party or Sweet Sorbet, adhere to inside of the card
Cut 4 x 3 3/4 Basic White, adhere to inside of card


Cut 4 1/8 x 4 3/8 Parakeet Party (Sweet Sorbet or Basic White), adhere to front of card
