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 11 Basic White (Mint Macaron or Orchid Oasis)
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

I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire! Below are a few more images showing other papers from the same pack

Whether you’re tearing, sanding, or combining those shades in your creations, the possibilities are endless! Don't forget, this wonderful cardstock is on sale from July 9-11. Check out my video to see how the Two-Toned Cardstock compares to our regular cardstock—does one weigh less? Let’s find out! Now is a great time to stock up for your Christmas projects!

Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
