SAB Hippest Hippos and Hippo Dies

This year, our "extra" SAB (Sale-a-bration) 

 runs July 1st - August 31st.  Two of the offerings are the 

Hippest Hippos stamp set and Hippo Dies.  They are

DARLING!!  They are fun to color and you can also

add a great collection of accessories to the hippo images.

In this example, I colored the hippo with blends and layered

the hippo image and boat on to a retired piece of Beauty of

the Earth DSP.  I cut things out with the Hippo Dies and

Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The sentiment was cut out with

the retired Stitched Shapes Dies.  The little snorkeling 

accessories totally crack me up.

Happier Than Happy Thanks

 This card uses the new Happier Than Happy set, featuring

the cute little fox.  It's hard to come up with masculine

Thank You cards, so this one fits the bill.  I used the retired

Pattern Party DSP and coordinated the fox image with

the DSP and card base 

Grassy Grove with Oceanfront

 The Grassy Grove bundle (page 163) enables so many options 

and configurations.    Some of the stamps lend 

themselves well to scenery.  In this example, I also used the

Oceanfront set (page 88) to create the sky.  I used the Art Gallery

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY", cutting the opening with the

retired Beautiful Trees dies.

Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!  I realize that this

is not a 4th card, but is a celebration card!
