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

T his card features the Product of the Month, Fabulous Sayings, paired with the Endless Love Dies. It’s a quick and easy card that really highlights the beauty of the Made With Love Designer Series Paper. Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade are the perfect cardstock colors to coordinate with this DSP. To create a custom matching ribbon, I colored the Bubble Bath 1/8" Faux Linen Ribbon with the Flirty Flamingo Light Stampin’ Blend. Finish the card with a touch of sparkle using the Loose Valentines Assortment embellishments. If you place a $75 order, before shipping and tax, you can purchase the Product of the Month for just $5. If you order with me, I will send you 4 cards at the end of the month using this fun greeting stamp set
