Stampin’ Up! Hippo Birthday 2 Ewe!

Posted on July 18, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We went to a family wedding yesterday; our nephew on myhusband's side of the family. A sweet wedding, lovely bride, proud groom, and the Lord was glorified and praised! My grandson, Oakley, was the ring bearer, and my granddaughter, Ivory, was the flower girl. Cyndal, who is almost 2, took her afternoon nap on my lap during the ceremony. Sweet times.

Today I have another Hippo Happiness birthday card to share. I'm loving how easy it is to stamp these little critters and cut them with the Hippo & Friends dies! I paired them with another print from the Artistry Blooms Designer paper pack in Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness.

I used all four of the critters from the Hippo Happiness stamp set, each mounted on their own mat cut with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch:

No fancy folds today, just good ol' fashioned stamping and die-cutting!

Stampin’ Up! Fluttering Hippo Happiness!

Posted on July 17, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Cyndal's 2nd birthday is another one in July, so I played with the Hippo Happiness Bundle to create a card just for her. Like I often do, I made two cards, one to give to Cyndal and one to keep for display!

I used Artistry Blooms Designer Paper and the Hippo & Friends dies:

The butterfly is a two-step image for the wings and body, then stamped with the face and the flight trail. The "fluttering by" phrase is actually "fluttering by just to say hi", but I omitted the latter part with Scotch tape while inking. I then removed the tape before stamping, which is an important step not to forget! lol!

Inside I stamped "just to say" from the same sentiment used on the front but omitting the first part and "hi" with tape while inking. "Happy Birthday" is from the Here's a Card stamp set. I embossed the Daffodil Delight layer with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! The Man, The Myth, The Legend!

Posted on June 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time for the June edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop, THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE LEGEND.

My card today was created with my husband in mind, but was also inspired by a comment one of my Yes Mam! Stampers made about my Tasteful Touches Emboss Resist card I posted HERE. She said it looked like the Milky Way, which inspired me to create a "Milky Way" card for my husband who loves astronomy:

I used two sparkle images from two different stamp sets, Hippo Happiness and Pattern Play, to silver emboss the stars, then sponged white craft ink in a diagonal swath to create the "Milky Way"!

I used a sentiment from Sailing Home on the front:

And a sentiment from Many Mates inside.
