Hippest Hippos - Saleabration 2022

Hippo saleabration 2022

Aren't these hippos so cute.  They're from the stamp set Hippest Hippos (one of our saleabration options free with a $90 order.)   I've used my Stampin' Blends to colour them in and teamed them with the Picture This Dies.  I've also used a few scraps of the Rings Of Love DSP (another of our Saleabration free products.)  

Here's a few step by step pics. 

First - stamp with memento black ink. 

Hippo 1

Choose some Stampin' Blends to add some colour.  I've used gray granite, smoky slate, crumb cake and a touch of poppy parade. 

Hippo 2

I'm definitely not an expert colouring person - I usually start with the light colour, then add some of the darker shade, then go back with the lighter shade to blend.  

Hippo 3

When I finished colouring I roughly cut around  each hippo and adhered them to the back of the circles with tape.  (Crumb Cake cardstock and Picture This Dies.)  I also added some scraps of patterned paper.  

Hippo 4

Stick down on a white card base and all done.  

Hippo 5

Happy creating,

Cheers, Sue

Wonderful World DSP by Stampin' Up

IMG_5322

I've been thoroughly enjoying creating with the gorgeous Wonderful World DSP this past week.  Get this paper plus a coordinating stamp set free when you place a $180 order during July/August (while stocks last.)  Or choose from some of the other Saleabration freebies.  

I cut the sheet of large flowers and have been making a range of cards similar to these ones.  Keep it simple if you've just got a few basic supplies, or add some extra details if you have things like embossing folders and dies.

I put together a video here showing a simple version - plus some stepped up ones at the end with some extra layering. 

Happy creating,

Cheers,Sue

Stampin' Up: How To Redeem My Free Saleabration Items

If you're phoning or emailing your order through to me - just let me know when you place your order and I can add your free Saleabration items.  (One for every $90 of products in the order.)  

If you're ordering online and your order reaches $90 in products - here's how to redeem your free products.  Here's my order.  (I'd love it if you checked that it has the correct demonstrator name. Wink.)  Click on checkout once you have finished choosing your products. 

Saleabration screen 1

On the next screen you'll see the saleabration items.  It also tells you how many you've earned.  For this order it says up to 2.  I can either select two of the Free With $90 Purchase items or I can choose one of the Free With $180 Purchase items. I'll show you how to find them in the next pic. 

Saleabration screen 2

If you'd like to look through the Free With $180 Purchase items - click the little + sign.

Saleabration screen 3

And that will expand the screen so you can see the other items.  Once you've chosen all your freebies - continue on as usual. 

(If you totally don't love free items - there is a section there where you can choose to continue without choosing any free products.)

Hope that helps.

All of our Saleabration range are 'while stocks last' so some may sell out before the end of August.  I'll keep you posted.  

Have a wonderful week and for all my customers that are in the very wet parts of Australia just now - wishing you bluer skies and some dry days ahead and thinking of you. 

Take care, Sue

One of the things I almost missed in my first browse through our new catalogue is this Embossing Additions Tool Kit.  It has a handy tray with a pouring spout, an embossing buddy to rub over your cardstock before embossing, some groovy crafting tweezers and a crafting brush to brush away excess powder.  If you love your embossing - this is a great tool kit.   Check it out here:  Embossing Tool Kit
