Today’s card features the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the Hippo Dies. Each of these products can be earned with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! Spend $100 and you can earn both of them!
I started with a base of Petal Pink cardstock. Then I added a layer of Basic White to the inside of the card and the front. I placed a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock into one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine before adhering it to the front of the card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I layered a piece of Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the hippo onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink, colored the hippo using Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and then cut it out using the Hippo Dies.
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and another larger, scalloped one out of Petal Pink cardstock. Before adhering the two pieces together, I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink using the stamp set, Hippest Hippos. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the hippo and placed it on the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added three Heart Pearls to the front of the card.

My card today features the Elephant Parade Bundle which includes the stamp set, Elephant Parade and the Elephant Dies. I also used Butterfly Kisses 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I adhered a piece of Parakeet Party cardstock to the front of the card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder (which also includes a die) and then adhered a strip of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper to the Basic White cardstock and then adhered both to the card base.
I stamped the elephant from the stamp set, Elephant Parade, in Memento ink and then colored it using both the Light & Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends and both the Light & Dark Flirty Flaming Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using the Elephant Dies and I used those same dies to cut the grass behind the elephant.
Using the Layering Circles Dies, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and a larger, scalloped circle out of Parakeet Party cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then glued the grass to the Basic White circle using Multipurpose Glue. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the elephant and adhered him to the circle.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Flirty Flamingo ink and the stamp set, Go To Greetings and then cut it out using the All That Dies. I added adhesive to the back of the sentiment and tucked it in below the sentiment.
Bundle Alert: The He’s All That Bundle (159079) includes the All That Dies and the He’s All That stamp set. You always save 10% when you purchase a bundle.

Today’s card features the stamp set, Go To Greetings, Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Build a Butterfly Dies.
I started with a base of Balmy Blue cardstock. Then I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I ran the Balmy Blue cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.
Next, I adhered the three pieces onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the card base. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Balmy Blue ink using the stamp set, Go To Greetings, and then cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock (using the same dies) and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
The butterfly was created using Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Build a Butterfly Dies. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added three Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems around the butterfly and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Yesterday I shared two cards I made with some of my many scraps of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. Today I have two more cards that were made using more of these scraps. I used all the same products I used for yesterday’s cards.
I started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Fall Leaf 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut two squares of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and adhered them both to a piece of Pool Party cardstock. Then, I adhered the top square to the front of the card but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottom square and placed it on the front. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and cut a larger circle out of Pool Party cardstock. I adhered the two together, added a strong adhesive (Tear & Tape) to the bottom half of the circle and adhered it to the bottom square.
Here’s one more card using Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

I have a lot of scraps of Designer Seres Paper (it’s hard to throw any of it away) so I decided to make several cards using leftover squares of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.
For this first card, I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. I then embossed another piece of Basic White that I adhered to a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
I cut the square of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper using the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered it with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Tear & Tape (because it’s really strong) to the upper part of the sentiment and placed it at the bottom of the square. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
This other version was made using Pool Party cardstock.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I was on a roll making these cards so below you’ll see some other variations.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I cut two strips of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and one strip of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I placed the Fresh Freesia cardstock in one of the Elegant Eucalyptus Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I adhered all three pieces to a piece of Basic White cardstock which I then added to a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock.
I then wrapped our Open Weave Ribbon in Fresh Freesia around the layers and tied a knot. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a larger circle out of Fresh Freesia and adhered the sentiment to it. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
For these next two versions, I used Night of Navy cardstock
For these last two cards, I used Parakeet Party cardstock.
I have to give credit to Sue Campfield for this great layout! I saw several cards she made and wanted to give it a try with Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper.

Today’s card features the Nature’s Prints Bundle which includes the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the Natural Prints Dies. I also used our new Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut three pieces of Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). To make it easier to add the wreath to the card, I added a piece of an adhesive sheet to the back of my Basic White cardstock, placed the wreath die on top of the cardstock (not the adhesive side) and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I peeled the adhesive sheet away from the wreath and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Mint Macaron ink and the stamp set, Nature’s Prints. I cut it out using the Natural Prints Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. To complete the card, I added two Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels on each side of the sentiment.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. It may look as though the card is difficult to create but it really isn’t!
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After the paper is cut and scored, there are two side panels that open like a gate. I cut two pieces of Pool Party cardstock for each of the panels and ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Then I adhered them to each side.
I cut two “flaps” out of Basic White cardstock and then added Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to each one. I adhered one flap to the right side (only adding adhesive to the part that would be touching that panel) and then added the other flap to the other side. I hope that makes sense! It really is an easy card to make!
I stamped the sentiment in Pool Party ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set Soft Seedlings. I then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top flap.
I have to give credit to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Sue Campfield for the idea of this fun fold! I saw some cute cards she made with this fold and I had to give it a try with my own take on it.
Here was my first try at making this card. I decided it needed something and that’s when I added the Pool Party panels. I used the Season of Chic stamp set and the Natural Prints Dies.

Today’s cards were made using baby wipes, Stampin’ Ink Refills and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. This technique is super easy and you’ll never get the same results.
I made these cards while I was staying at my mom’s and I didn’t have all the colors of ink refills that I wanted but I did have Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight so I went with those two colors. Ideally I would have liked to use Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I took four baby wipes and folded them in half and then placed them on a non porous surface. Then I started adding drops of ink refill all over the wipes. This acts a stamp pad! Then I inked up the leaf stamp into my homemade stamp pad and then stamped it onto Basic White cardstock. I did add additional drops to get a deeper color. It’s all experimental and there’s no right or wrong way to do this technique!
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the leaves “out” and tried using a variety of cardstock colors and embossing folders. For the card above, I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaf piece before adding it to the card. I also used Iridescent Rhinestones on all four cards..
For this next card, I used Cajun Craze cardstock for the base of my card and again used the Scalloped Contours Dies.
This next card has a Daffodil Delight card base and I used the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder (which also comes with a die).
For this last card, I used a Cajun Craze card base and the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder.
I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I’d recommend picking three colors and go for it!
Supply List
** Non Stampin’ Up!: Baby Wipes
Measurements
- Card Base (Thick Basic White, Cajun Craze or Daffodil Delight): 11″ x 4-1/4″ score at 5-1/2″

- Basic White cardstock (large scalloped piece): approx. 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″

I want to say thank you for the outpouring of kind words for the recent passing of my brother in law, Steve. All of your emails, cards and comments have meant so much to Mark and I. We knew we would lose Steve but as anyone who’s lost a loved one knows, it’s hard to be prepared when it actually happens. We’re still in shock that he’s gone. It’s part of life to lose loved ones and something we’ll all experience but it’s never easy. Words of kindness and understanding are very appreciated during hard times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Before Steve, passed away, I had been working on card kits to include in orders $50 or more so let me explain all about them. But, first, I want to say that I very much appreciate every single order placed through me. Unfortunately mail costs, like everything else these days, is quite expensive. When I have a “special” where I will be mailing something, such as card kits, I limit it to orders $50 or more to help offset the cost of the mailings but ALL orders are very much appreciated!!!!
