Hippest Hippos and Hippos Dies – It’s a Freebie1
Hippest Hippos Free during Sale-a-Bration. Can you believe it’s time for Sale-a-Bration 2.0?
To start the celebration, I made this hippo card recently for a first birthday. This water loving hippo is all geared up and ready for his dive.
I stamped the hippo with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Thick Basic White cardstock and then coloured him in with the Gray Granite Blends. I cut him out with the matching die and used other dies from the set to cut out his hat and snorkeling equipment as well. As cute as the Hippest Hippo set is, It’s the little accessories that really make this set a lot of fun.
I am really pleased with how the galvanized tub turned out. I cut the tub out of Crumb Cake cardstock and then used the VersaMark ink pad to tap ink directly onto the die cut piece. One the tub was covered in ink, I added silver powder from the Metallics Embossing Power pack on top and used my Heat Tool to melt the powder. The texture helps give the rub a realistic look. By the way, did you see that the Embossing Additions Tool Kit is now available?
The background is made from the 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Assortment in Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Sweet Sorbet, the same colours I used throughout this card. My last step was to add a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. These gems go with everything.
The circle and square were made with the Stylish Shapes Dies. If you don’t already have these dies, get them now. I use them all the time and highly recommend this set. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, the mini machine is available as an Easy Entry Bundle with this set of dies. And if you buy the bundle, you can get the Hippest Hippo stamp set and Hippos dies free.
All SAB products are available only while supplies last and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hippo Dies are one of the first to go. If you love these Hippos – and how can you not – place your order soon.
