Stamp-A-Palooza Day 2 Hippo Make a Splash Card

This set is to cute to pass up. Our third Card features the Hippest Hippos and Hippo Dies form the Sale-a-Bration Catalog. I also added in the Sunny splash stamp set for some added summer fun! If you don’t have a demonstrator and would like a Sale-a-Bration or Holiday Mini catalog- head over to my contacts page and message me you would like a catalog! I would love to have the opportunity to earn your business and friendship. Now on the to card!

The dies that coordinate with this stamp set are AMAZING. There are 2 hippo dies one for each Hippo in the stamp set, an umbrella, Snorkel, Dive mask (or sunglasses- your choice), a boat, a propeller, and so much more! I decided to use the Celebrate Everything Designer Paper. You can get 48 sheets of 12 X 12 designer papers and they are soooooo fun! How can you get the paper? Well when you host a party, place an order, gather orders with friends and your orders total over $150, you can get this with your host rewards. That is the only way! I can’t even buy it. you earn i! And now is the time with Stampin Up giving you free products with every $50 and $100 order as well as host rewards> you can really stock up for the holiday season!

Stamp-A-Palooza Day 1: Amazing Year

Day 1 of Stamp-A-Palooza features the Amazing Year Stamp set. The cards made in today’s class also feature Stampin’ Up!s Watercolor Pencils. I just love to color, it brings out the kid in me. Oh who am I kidding, everything brings out the kid in me.

The first card in today’s Class is the Amazing Year Birthday Card. The was such a fun card to clod and is a bright and cheery way to say Happy Birthday to someone. The color was done using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. And to really feature this stamps sets images. I added die cut shapes from the Hippos Dies found in out Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Scroll down to see the cards made and a YouTube video you can watch.

TWO VERY IMPORTANT TIPS

Tip 1: I want to share with you is the about the Black Ink you will use. You NEED to use a solvent based Ink Pad . I always us the Jet Black Stazon whenever I am doing any sort of coloring using Water, Watercolor Pencils, Watercolor Crayons, Chalks, Blender Pens…. The reason being is that the Stazon pad will not smear when you color. If you use a water based Ink, when you apply water, the blender pen, water painters- that water based ink will bleed and make a mess of your projects. Stazon is a Permanent and Fast Drying ink. I highly recommend making sure you clean your stamps right away using a Stazon Cleaner. Click HERE to see in my Online store

Tip 2: To get the best results when WaterColoring use Fluid 100 Water Color Paper, Shimmery White Cards stock or Basic White Thick cardstock. These are heavier paper and will not break down as quickly as the normal Basic White cardstock. (you can still use it, just be careful not to over blend)

Card 2: Amazing Year Birthday Wishes Card

This super easy card was quick to put together, Thick Basic White Layer, Butterfly Kisses Designer Paper and the image stamped on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Color in it with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender pen or use your Stamp pads along with a blender pen. Try out some new water coloring today. No fancy tools needed for this card. Just Stamps, Ink and Paper.

Card 3: Wonderful Friend Card

This sweet card not only features the Amazing Year Stamp Set but also has the Hives 3D embossing folder. I jut love embossing folders, they add that little something. I gave this card a little extra blind by using the Glossy Dots Assortments. It was a pretty quick card to make.
