The card I’m sharing with you today is a little sneak peek of two Sale-a-Bration products debuting on July 1st! They are
- Hippest Hippo Stamp Set #159921 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration
- Hippo Dies #159928 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock to the front of the card that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and another, larger circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I LOVE that Stampin’ Up! brought back stitched dies!! Love them!! I layered the two circles together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies again to cut the sentiment piece and then stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using the Hippest Hippos stamp set.
I stamped the cute hippo in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then colored her using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and for the flower I used the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend. I cut the hippo out using the Hippo Dies. I adhered one end of the sentiment behind the hippo and then adhered both to the stitched circle. This card came together very quickly and I just love the cute hippo (there are two more hippos in the stamp set and four sentiments).

Thank you so much for all the messages and prayers for my mom and I. I read every single message and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. My mom came home from the hospital last week and is improving daily. I’ll be staying with her for several more weeks as she recuperates. We have many appointments this week to make sure everything is progressing as it should be. My face rash has finally calmed down. It was quite an ordeal. When the doctor said I’d just have to wait for it to pass through my system, I had no idea it would take so long! My face puffed up and was so itchy. Thank goodness I’m starting to look like myself again!
I’m slowly getting caught up so if you’ve placed an order in the last few weeks, you’ll be hearing from me in the next few days! Thank you for your patience!!!!
Since I’ve been gone for quite some time, I have a few updates for you!

Hi Friends,
I wanted to check in and let you know why I haven’t been posting. I’m currently staying at my mom’s. She had surgery on Thursday and should have come home on Friday but there were some complications. It’s possible she’ll be coming home today or tomorrow, we hope!
Meanwhile, I used a product on my face and have had a very bad allergic reaction to it. I went to Urgent Care on Sunday hoping I could get an injection that would make it go away but the doctor said it has to work itself out of my system. My entire face is covered in an itchy rash and it’s making my skin very tight. It’s downright awful.
I haven’t sent thank you’s for recent orders but you will get your thank you email just as soon as I can.
I hope to back making cards and posting them here very soon.
Take Care,

The January – June Mini Catalog is retiring and I thought it would be fun to choose my top five products. I would have added New Horizons Designer Series Paper but unfortunately it has sold out. All retiring products are available while supplies last.
For more information about the cards below, click on the image and you’ll be taken to the original post.
Please note that some products shown on the cards are no longer available
#1 Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set
I love this stamp set and it’s one I will keep in my personal stash. I love the sentiments and the font used.
I used Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card below. It’s also retiring and 50% off. Normally $15.00, now $7.50.
#2 Flowing Flowers Stamp Set
Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for sentiments and I was drawn not only to the sentiments in this set but the images too.
#3 Polished Dots
What I love most about the Polished Dots is that I can I can color the clear ones with my Stampin’ Blends to match my card. Instant coordination! They also look really nice just left as is. I’m really sad these are retiring. They are now 30% off. Normally $7.50, now $5.25.
New Horizons Designer Series Paper was used on this card but it has sold out.
#4 Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
I love flowers and I love Designer Series Paper. When those two come together . . . .
This paper is now 30% off. Normally $11.50, now $8.05
#5 Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder
I was a little late to the party with this product. I think it’s a really pretty embossing folder and I wish I had used it more. There’s a big heart in the center, which can be cut out with the coordinating heart die but it can also be covered up as I did in the second card below.
The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes 9 dies is now 50% off. Normally $29.00, now $14.50.
I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper on this card and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt (both on my top 5 list).
