SNORKELLING HIPPEST HIPPOS!

I shared this card on Facebook the other day with the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the Hippos Dies and just have to share it with you now. This card just makes me smile. 🙂

My snorkelling hippos are swimming with their Green Turtle Friend.

The top scallop water edge is from the Scalloped Contours Dies. The clouds are from the Wave Dies. The sentiment strip is from the Sending Dies. The rest you can find in the Hippos Dies. It’s great how all these dies come together to create a fun scene.

The turtle is from the Whale Done set.

Be sure to grab the Hippest Hippos stamp set now. And you might like to get the Hippos Dies to be able to dress them up.

They are both available only in July and August during Sale-A-Bration or While Supplies Last. (Which could be very quickly).

They are available as one of your bonus free picks for orders over $90 AUD for either the stamp set or the Hippos dies. So to get both you order over $180 AUD and then have fun!

Or you could choose any of the other great picks. Have you checked them all out yet?

You can see all the Sale-A-Bration choices -> HERE.

If you want to add one of these to your order when you shop online just add them at Checkout.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #138 – THE HOTTEST HIPPEST HIPPOS!

Wednesday’s WOW! #138 – Check out the Hippest Hippos.

Some cute little hippos are in town. I couldn’t help but tell you about them for our Wednesday’s WOW! this week.

Hippest Hippos and the Hippo Dies are available for Sale-A-Bration. You can choose each one with orders over $90 AUD.

The Hippest Hippos stamp set is really cool. But let’s really take a moment to notice the Hippo Dies though.

See them in the video below.

You can dress up your hippos to be really well …hip. Create a snorkelling hippo, a hippo splashing about in a tub, or walking along in the rain, maybe a dancing hippo, or just a sweet little hippo sending you some love. It’s lots of fun.

Check out these samples from Stampin’ Up! artists.

Aren’t they cute?

And just a note on that sunrays card. It is stamped with the Rays of Light Background stamp, then each sunray is cut along the lines. Some are lifted up and some are even cut out. Pretty cool idea!

So are you going to add the Hippos to your next qualifying order??

They would be fun cards for lots of different occasions.

In Australia and need to order? You can head to my store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: 99CMHTER

Or if you prefer contact me directly my email or phone.

Happy Wednesday,

HIPPEST HIPPOS SAYS “YOU REALLY ARE THE BEST” AND THAT’S TRUE!

Isn’t the Hippest Hippos Set for Sale-A-Bration so cute??

The Hippo Dies that go with them just take it to another level. But today I’m not showing the dies. Let’s just have a simple card with the Hippest Hippos. I have pulled out the 2022 In Colors too using the 2022 In Color Designer Series Paper.

The card mat was embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.

I created a different edge from the 2022-2024 In Color paper with the Basic Borders Dies. The leafy stem is from the Splendid Stems Dies.

Have you checked out all the bonus picks for Sale-A-Bration?

There are lots of lovelies.

Pick an item as your free gift with orders over $90 or $180. Hippest Hippos are just one of them.

WATERCOLOURING WITH PAINTED POPPIES + VIDEO!

Did you know it’s World Watercolouring Month?? A month of celebrating and sharing all things watercolouring.

I’m no expert at watercolouring. But I have picked up some tips along the way. And practice makes perfect right. 🙂

There are lots of different ways to watercolour and different mediums to use. I shared a video recently on using Watercolor Pencils. In today’s video I’m using the Ink Pads and Water Painters to create a watercolour wash and more detailed watercolouring.

I pulled out the Painted Poppies Stamp Set. I haven’t used this in a while.

Check out the video below.

This card was inspired by one in the current Annual Catalogue on Page 29.

I hope you pull out your inkpads and Painters and get watercolouring.

Have a great day,

Jenny

IS THERE LEMON IN YOUR TEA?

Do you have lemon in your tea? Hot Lemon and honey is great as a tea when you have a sore throat or cold. There is a lot of that going around here where I am at the moment.

With the Tea Boutique Suite you can create Lemon Tea projects.

You can create a frame from the paper. I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies. You can use other shape dies too.

The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #137 – PRETTY POP-UPS!

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #137 – Let’s look at some Pretty Pop-Ups. That is, Pop-Ups Dies!

I have to say I kept overlooking these dies and maybe you have too so let’s check them out. They are a different way of dies but they are – really pretty.

You will find the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies on page 173 on the Annual Catalague.

There are 10 dies in the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies set.  The dies include beautifully intricate butterflies, flowers, and greenery designs in circle, oval, and rectangle shapes. You can use the unique intricate designs and shapes as a centrepiece on your handmade projects or as a subtle texture or layer when not popped up.

Aren’t they beautiful?

You can see how they are used.

To lift the little Pop-Up sections you can use the spatula tip on the Take Your Pick Tool or you can use the Paper Piercer.

You can even colour some of the areas with the Stampin’ Blends.

And did you notice? Colour some white ribbon too and you have ribbon to match any project.

The cards can be so simple but they do create such an impact.

You can see the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies in my store -> HERE.

In Australia? You can shop in my store at the link just above. Please use the Host Code: 46HJZACA

Or contact me directly.

Have a great day,

Jenny
