Stampin’ Up! Hippest Hippos

 Hey everyone! 

Welcome to East Coast Stamping with Mary Louise, I am, yup, Mary Louise, your Independant Stampin Up demonstrator from Aylesford, Nova Scotia.  

Todays project was so cute and totally fun card to create.  It’s a good thing because it is so hot and sticky today, my craft room is like an oven.  So, let’s get to it! 

This project uses a new Sale A Bration stamp set, Hippest Hippos that goes live July 1st, 2022.  How do you get these adorable hippos? Spend $60 before tax, s/h and they are all yours.  And I can help you get them! 





Run one of the pieces of Basic White through your Cut and Emboss machine using the Picture This Dies.  Using a blending brush, sponge some Crumb Cake ink onto both pieces of the Basic White.  Remember to start lightly, in a circular motion and begin off the card and then bring onto your paper.  

Stamp two hippo images onto Basic White scraps and one onto the piece of Basic White intended for the insert.  Using the Hippos Dies, cut out the two Hippos from the scraps.  

Start colouring your images, I outlined in Dark Crumb cake and coloured in with the light.  The belly and snout area is coloured using Ivory.  Ears, flower, tutu and shoes are coloured using light Real Red.  

Place the die cut piece onto the Read Red layer and stamp your sentiments in the open spaces.  Also, stamp your sentiment on the insert.

Now you are ready to start putting it together. 

Layer your die cut piece onto the Real Red layer and adhere using Stampin seal.  Next, adhere to the cardbase and then add your insert.  Pop your hippo images up using dimensionals and then add a few of the adhesive-backed hexagons.  

Talk about cuuuuutttteeeee. 

Materials used: 

Cardbase: Crumb Case-5 1/2x8, scored at 4 1/4

Layer:Real Red-4 1/8 x 5 3/8

Basic White-4 x 5 1/4 (2), scraps for stamping images

Glad you could pop by, if you are in Canada and are without a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would love to help you out.  Okay, now it’s time for an ice cream to cool off.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
