Hippos and Dots

Today I have lots of pictures to share with you of cards made with the Hippest Hippo stamp set, Hippo Dies and the Dots and Spots die. The Dots and Spots die was so fun to play with that I made a 

few variations...

All the cards also use different patterns of the hostess designer series paper collection called Celebrate Everything. 

The Hippos have all been stamped with Memento ink, colored in with Stampin' Blends and then die cut using the Hippo dies. The Hippest Hippo stamp set and Hippo dies were free products you could earn during the last Sale-a-bration event.

For the sentiment layers, I die cut pieces using the Stylish Shapes and All That die sets. 

The circle layer behind the ballerina was made with the Stylish Shapes dies and the little flowers around here were cut from 2022 - 2024 In Color Glimmer paper using the Hippo dies.

The embossed layer on the last card was created with a retired folder and I used just a scrap of Polished Pink that was cut from the larger die cut piece from the card above it.

August Stamp Club Projects

Since August is almost over already, I thought I better share the stamp club projects from this month!  

The layout uses several patterns from the hostess designer series paper collection titled Celebrate Everything. There are also die cuts made using the Stylish Shapes dies and this paper collection. The card stock colors tie in with the patterns - Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce

I decided to include a Christmas card this month since we have some many new options in the Holiday Mini catalog. This one uses 

the Hope and Peace stamp set along with the Boughs of Holly designer series paper. I also used the Stylish Shapes dies for the sentiment layer.

Lastly, we made a card with the Soft Seedlings stamp set and Hive 3D folder. This stamp set created beautifully detailed images no matter what color you choose to ink it up with.

If you ever would like to try out the in person or virtual clubs, just contact me here for more details!
