Today is the Final Day of Sale-A-Bration for 2022. Today’s project showcases three of the available ones. The Hippest Hippos are definitely Smile worthy.
Stamps
This adorable little hippo has such a cute expression! One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! are the cute animal stamps. This Hippest Hippos stamp set is a Free from SAB with a $50.00 order. There are three of these adorable hippos. They are wonderful to color with Stampin’ Blends, which I have done here. And besides the sweet hippos, there are fun sentiments included in the set. This sweet thought is one of the sentiments.
Die Sets
There are two different Die sets used on this card, and both are available Free during Sale-A-Bration. First is the Hippo Dies. These come separately from the stamp set, but match perfectly. Which is a great idea in that if you are not interested in having both, you can choose to one you prefer. Although for me, having the matching dies simplifies everything. Also additional dies in the set are decorations for the hippos but do not have a matching stamp.
The second Die set used is the Dots and Spots Die. You can see that in the “More to SAB” lower in the post. Actually the Dots and Spots Die is in the current Annual Catalog. All of the “More” items are in the Annual Catalog. What a deal is that? To get them Free on this Final day of SAB. However, be sure to use the item number listed in the “more” flyer. It is different than the one in the catalog.
Finishes
Soft colors were what I chose to help the lovely hippo pop a bit more. And in following that, I gave the little flower a bright color of Polished Pink. To help that stand out I used the Double Oval Punch to layer the sentiment. And used more of the Polished Pink as the background. There is a simple White strip of cardstock for the hippo to stand on and hold the sentiment. For the final touch I gave the sentiment one of the 2022-2024 Matte Dots in Parakeet Party as its bling. This gives some sparkle and highlights the Soft Sea Foam layer.
Last Chance
As I have mentioned, this is the Final Day of Sale-A-Bration. Please do not let any of these items slip away if they are on your Wish List!
