HIP & HAPPY HIPPO HOT TUB TIME

Today I had my first ‘play’ with the coordinating Sale-a-bration products Hippest Hippos Stamp Set and Hippos Dies. These hippos and their coordinating stamps and dies are super cute.

For my card, I decided to give my hippo a bath.

The colours I chose to use were inspired by a piece of paper from another Sale-a-bration free product, the Rings of Love12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The featured colours are Mint Macaron, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade.

I started by stamping the flower holding hippo and then used the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends to colour her. I also used the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ pens.

I cut the bath tub from a scrap of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then I cut a circle from some Petal Pink cardstock using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and gave it texture using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

As you can see, I also cut an umbrella and some flowers using Poppy Parade cardstock and bath splashes from some Mint Macaron.

Before I started layering all of these elements, I attached some Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon behind the embossed circle.

The DSP panel was adhered to the Basic White card base and then I began adding and layering all of the individual pieces I had stamped, coloured and die cut.

The greeting was stamped in Poppy Parade and I cut it using the smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I love the way the splashes can be spread out and around the tub.

The bath tub is such a simple shape but features some great details. I love the way different Stampin’ Up! products deliver so much to our creative journey.

This weekend I am working on developing my Instagram Reels. This card is the first one I am planning to use. I hope to have a few more projects made and ready to upload to Instragram. Then, I will blog these other projects during the week.

Until then, happy stamping.
