For today’s card we have the Hippest Hippos Stamp Set. I wanted to use the Picture This Dies.
With the Picture This Dies I added some different pieces of pretty Happiness of Hues Paper and also added texture with some co-ordinating card embossed with different folders (Bark 3D, Splatters and the Gingham Folders)
I like the fun, bright colours in this card. And that hippo … You can’t help but smile when you see him.
And … You really are the best too so don’t forget that.
The Hippest Hippos Stamp set is one you can pick with your qualifying orders over $90 AUD for Sale-A-Bration. The Hippo Dies you can select with another $90.

Today’s Suite for Sunday Suites let’s check out the Rustic Harvest Suite.
Now we don’t have Thanksgiving or use pumpkins like this in Australia. And Autumn is behind us and nearly Spring. YAY! BUT, there are some little gems in this suite that you really want to see wherever you are. So let’s take a look.
This is the full Rustic Harvest Suite Collection.
This Suite includes:
Hello Harvest Bundle (Stamp Set and Rustic Pumpkin Dies)
Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (12 12″x12″ pack)
12 sheets of 12″x12″ Black Cardstock
Leaf Label and Amber Gem Combo Pack
Embossing Additions Tool Kit
A Closer look at the Hello Harvest Bundle. You have the little vine dies features that add squiggles to any projects. And also swirly shapes in the stamp set. They make great additions. The flower and leaf images are gorgeous to create on your projects.
The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper isn’t all pumpkins. There are lovely flower images and pattern prints. Colours in this pack are Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow.
The Embossing Additions Took Kit ($47AUD) includes some great tools for your heat embossing. This includes the Embossing Buddy, Powder Pal Tray, Crafting Tweezers and Crafting Brush.
The Leaf Labels and Amber Gem Combo Pack includes – 25 kraft leaves: 6.4 x 5.7 cm (2-1/2″ x 2-1/4″) and 50 Amber coloured gems, 25 each of 2 sizes: 4 mm, 5 mm.
Let’s check out some ways of using all these lovely products.
(Projects created by Stampin’ Up! artists).
By stamping the flowers twice and layering they create quite a gorgeous display on this card. The extra addition on the card below is the chalkboard effect on the black card. It looks cool.
A way you can use the lovely leaf tags. They are a sweet addition to a gift or other project.
Such pretty paper you don’t need to do too much with it. And stamp the sentiment on some of the paper for an added touch.
Also check the side of the flower paper. It uses the Woven Ribbon. Cut the edge off the ribbon and pull the threads to get a fringed effect. It’s cool! And also it adds some Amber Gems.

Wednesday’s WOW! #139 –Add colour to the Silver and Gold Foils.
You might have seen the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper available for Sale-A-Bration? Of course you can leave it as it is but why not have some fun with it and colour it. There are a number of different ways you can do that.
The Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper have embossed designs on them. There are dots and stripes in Silver and in Gold. The dots or stripes will resist the ink when you add colour so you have nice shiny additions to the colour. Once you add the colour just wipe off lightly with a tissue to remove any excess ink on the foil parts.
Let me show you 3 Ways to add colour to this paper.
1. Use the Blending Brushes to add colour. Use one colour or a number of colours and brush over a piece of the paper. (bottom left)
2. Use markers to add additional coloured stripes on the striped print. Using 2 colours will add an extra pizzazz to your cards. (right).
Of course you can leave it plain as a lovely background and add extra stamped images or elements on the card. (top left)
3. Stamp directly on to the Foils with regular Classic Ink Pads. You will have the “embossed” lines or dots run through it but it adds a cool effect. (below)
Want some more ideas with colouring Foils Paper?
A few years back there was some other range of Foils Paper. I shared a few projects using them way back then. Check out the posts -> HERE and -> HERE. Or you can do a search for Springtime Foils Paper on my blog.
Below is the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper. It is a pack of 24 sheets in 6″x6″ size. 12 each in 2 patterns (stripes and dots) and in 2 colours (silver and Gold).
And bonus, it is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD. (Only while supplies last).

In last week’s Instagram Reel I shared making this card.
If you don’t follow me on Instagram already head -> HERE so you don’t miss out on more Reels and inspiration.
For this one I punched the corners of the piece of Wonderful World Paper with the Very Best Trio Punch.
The piece of Orchid Oasis card was embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.
This was the first card I made below. For the strip of Wonderful World paper I kept the edge straight. I embossed the Flirty Flamingo card with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.
For both cards the flower from the Wonderful World Stamp Set was stamped in Pear Pizzazz on the white circle. Then stamped again in Rich Razzleberry. I snipped the flower head with scissors.
The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.
Which do you like better, Orchid Oasis or the Flirty Flamingo one?
The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and the Wonderful Stamp Set is available as a Free choice with your orders over $180 AUD.

I shared a card recently with the Hippest Hippo Stamp set with a similar layout.
This time I went Starry Sky colour. But isn’t she the cutest in her little tutu. 🙂
To diecut the edge of the Starry Sky Designer Series Paper piece I used the Basic Borders Dies. The Starry Sky card was embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.
The sentiment was from Sending Smiles Stamp set and diecut with the Sending Dies.

Today’s card is a simple one but I particularly wanted to show you how to get the different colour flower head on the Wonderful World flower stamps.
If you take a look at the flower a little closer, You can see the different colours.
To get this effect firstly ink the stamp in Pear Pizzazz. Then with a tissue remove the ink off the flower head. Using a Sponge or Dauber apply ink to the flower head. I used Starry Sky here.
You can give it a little “huff” before stamping if you like. That will reactivate the Pear Pizzazz ink.
For the sentiment I used the Go To Greetings Stamp Set with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I also used the Basic Borders Dies on the paper to get a scallop-y edge.
I have played a bit with this lovely paper and stamp set over the past week so I will share more.
The Wonderful World Stamps and Paper are a free bonus you can choose with your orders over $180 AUD during Sale-A-Bration.
