Stamp & Ink Designs Team Swap

Hippest Hippo Earn For Free!

For the month of July and August, you can earn for free the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the coordinating Hippo Dies. That means a $100 order gets you both products for FREE!

I loved coloring my Hippest Hippos with Stampin’ Blends Markers. As I colored, I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face. They are so cute! This card was created for a swap with my Stamp & Ink Designs Team and I will be featuring projects from my team starting tomorrow!

I even sat one of my hippos in the tub that you cut out with the dies. Notice the embossing on one of my layers using the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder.

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Pool Party Cardstock 11″ x 4-1/4″. Score and fold at 5-1/2″.
• Layer #2: Petal Pink Cardstock 5-1/4″ x 4″. Emboss the right side using the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder. Glue to card front.
• Layer #3: Gingham Cottage Designer Paper 5-1/4″ x 1-1/4″. Glue to the left side of Layer #2.
• Ribbon: Wrap the Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon around the card front and tie into a double-knot. Position about 1-1/2″ from the bottom.
• Layer #4: Basic White Cardstock cut with the 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ square from the Stylish Shapes Dies and add the following:
  • Use a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink to add ink at the top.
  • Stamp the hippo image at the left about 3/4″ from the top using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and color with the Gray Granite and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers.
  • Cut out the tub using the Hippo Dies and Petal Pink Cardstock. Stamp the sentiment in the center using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Glue over the stamped hippo.
  • Use the water/wave die from the Hippo Dies and Pool Party Cardstock. Glue to the bottom of the square and trim to fit with Paper Snips.
