My Hippie Hippo

Posted on by

Can you say GROOOOVY??? As soon as I started stamping the Hippo (2202 v2 Sale-a-bration) I saw this card in my mind, and it turned out EXACTLY as I imagined it. How often does that happen??

A card with a purple hippo and a colorful tie dyed swirl
  • Stamps: Hippest Hippos (Sale-a-bration 2022 v2), Spiral Dye
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Highland Heather, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Big/Baby Boss, Hippo dies, Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems, Stylish Shapes, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Daubers, Wink of Stella

Do you see that flag? I got crafty with the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the small banner, then used the larger one to cut off one end:

Ooooo, I was feelin’ groooovy 🎶 (da da da dah dah dah da, feelin’ groovy)

A card with a purple hippo and a colorful tie dyed swirl

I wanted this purple hippo to have a little pizazz, and it was Wink of Stella to the rescue. Well, that and Parakeet Party nails. The little hearts are some of the accessories that come with the Hippos dies, and trust me, you will be reaching for those dies again and again with all of their fun coordinating shapes.

I used daubers to ink up the Spiral Dye stamp (see what they did there?) and I can’t wait to do this again with another set of colors. When I showed this card to my Maui Stamper team, they all said I needed to make a video – so stay tuned, I may just have a YouTube debut!

July 2022 DIY: Hippest Hippos

Get ready for these Hippos! Stampin’ Up! always features at least one cute li’l critter for Sale-a-bration, and this catalog is no different. Just look at those little finger-and-tony-nails*

a small calendar on an easel with a purple hippo and palm trees
  • Stamps: Hippest Hippo (SAB), Paradise Palms
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo
  • Accessories: Big/Baby Boss, Hippo dies, Palm dies, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals

*Yes, I know the correct word is toenails, but my first born called them tony nails and that is so much better.

Look at that winky eye! That sassy hip! You know this girl is the life of the party!!!

The Hippo dies are available separately from the Hippest Hippo stamps so that you can budget your purchases and still have both. The dies are a must-have not just for the hippos but for all the accessories: glasses, scuba gear, hearts, flowers, a boat, an umbrella, and the wave you see here. I’ve had a hippo fest all week long, so plan on seeing more! They may or may not all be purple 😁


Coloring the hippos with Stampin’ Blends is easy, and while you would be within your rights to choose Gray Granite or Crumb Cake, I am giving you my permission, nay, my blessing, to make your hippo any color you like. Call it creative license.

As always, Cheryl and Crystal have created July 22 DIY calendars as well. I hope you’ll take a look and see what they’ve done, and then take a moment to check out the Online Store to see all the wonderful Sale-a-bration options.

Hand Penned 3D Ferns

The Fern 3D Embossing Folder is back with a different look today. I’ve run it through the Big Boss with Orchid Oasis card stock, and WOW does it shout out loud!

Deep orchid birthday card with blue and green pattern paper and flowers
  • Stamps: Hand Penned Petals, Paradise Palms
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Fern 3D embossing folder, Penned Flowers dies, Scalloped Contours dies, 22-24 In Color DSP, Stampin’ Blends, Metallic Woven Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Parakeet Party is a bold and bright green, and it really makes this card pop. It has such high energy, and moves this design into a very different feeling than you would get from Pear Pizazz or even Granny Apple Green. I love the opportunity to work with new colors each year when our In Color collection releases.

I slipped a little metallic woven ribbon in again, fraying just the ends this time. I hardly ever bother tying a bow any more. I just stick a glue dot where it will be hidden by an element on the front of the card and position the ribbon that way. It’s easier to move and adjust so that you get exactly the look you want without tying and tying and tying again.

Orchid Oasis is such a saturated color and it really shows off the gorgeous detail in the Fern 3D EF. The design is multi-directional and covers the entire panel, giving the crafter multiple ways to orient and use the panel. Put the Fern 3D Embossing Folder on your next order!

Is your wishlist $99 or more? There are just a few days left to become a discount shopper and earn the In Color kit bonus. For just $99 you’ll choose $125 in Stampin’ Up! product and receive a bonus of 22 – 24 In Color Grid Paper, ink pad assortment, cardstock assortment, and Designer Series paper – an added value of $66.50.

Floating Sunset

When I saw Laura’s Floating Sunset Palm card I did a little happy dance. I knew this was a card I would love making again and again, and the Paradise Palms bundle absolutely makes this project!

Handmade card with a blue watercolor background and a multi color circle with a palm tree
  • Stamps: Paradise Palms, Here Together
  • Color Palette: Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Poppy Parade, Starry Sky, Very Vanilla, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Palms dies, Layering Circles dies, Watercolor Paper, Ink Refill, Water Painters, Window Sheets, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Handmade card close up with multicolored circle and die cut palm on a blue watercolor background

The technique is really simple: cut a circle from our window sheets and adhere strips of colored card stock. I chose to vary their width, which also allowed me to include more colors. 😁 I added a little color to the palm, and used Starry Sky to wash the watercolor paper with color for the background.

handmade card with a multicolored semi circle on a blue watercolor wash background with a palm tree and the words Hope you find a little paradise wherever you may be

I made a second version with the sun sinking into the water. I considered changing the color of the background for this, but honestly, this is how it looks when I watch the sun go down, so I kept it.

A card held open to show 3 small palm trees on the inside. Behind the card is a stamp case with palm images

The inside of this card was begging for these 3 palms, which I colored with Stampin’ Write markers.

Do you see that label on my stamp case? 22JJ? I embraced my inner nerd and made labels for each case to indicate the catalog where they first appeared. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to dig back for that information, so now when my order comes I get out my label maker and put labels on EVERYTHING.

22JJ means this bundle is made its debut in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. It has carried over to the 22-23 Annual Catalog, but it is NOT available as a bundle in the Annual Catalog. That means you have until June 30 to save 10% on this indispensable bundle, so SHOP NOW.

Is your wishlist $99 or more? Perhaps you’d like to become a discount shopper and purchase the customizable starter kit. For just $99 you’ll choose $125 in Stampin’ Up! product and receive a bonus of 22 – 24 In Color Grid Paper, ink pad assortment, cardstock assortment, and Designer Series paper – an added value of $66.50.

HAPPY RAINBOWS TO SAY WELCOME

Posted on by

The Rainbows of Happiness bundle has been such a hot item that it’s currently out of stock – but mark your calendars, as it is due back in the warehouse the week of March 7 (fingers crossed!) Today I’ve paired it with the Basic Borders dies and the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP (available for free as a Sale-a-bration selection, but hurry – you have until February 28th.)

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Rainbow and Sunshine Welcome #handmadecard #diy #rainbow #stampinupdemonstrator
  • Stamps: Celebrate With Friends
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Basic Borders dies, Rainbow Brilliance dies, Here for You dies, Cloud Punch, Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper (SAB 2022), Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series paper (SAB 2022), Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Rainbow and Sunshine Welcome #handmadecard #diy #rainbow #stampinupdemonstrator

I was inspired by THIS CARD (thank you, Mikaela) but I wanted to use the clouds from the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP. Oh so coincidentally 😏, they fit PERFECTLY in our Cloud Punch (which I am sorry to report is also currently unavailable, but is expected in the warehouse on March 28th). I punched out a full page of clouds and cloud pieces, then set to work deciding how to use them.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Rainbow and Sunshine Welcome #handmadecard #diy #rainbow #stampinupdemonstrator

This doesn’t have to be a baby card at all, but that’s how I intend to use it. I made a second version using Bermuda Bay as an accent color instead of Flirty Flamingo, and I moved the clouds around. I also used the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP behind the opening instead of Simply Marbelous.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Rainbow and Sunshine Welcome #handmadecard #diy #rainbow #stampinupdemonstrator

And then, just for fun, I changed the sentiment. This one is from the Sale-a-bration 2022 stamp set Special Moments, and it’s full of not-so-everyday messages for all types of everyday occasions.

What do you think? Which of these 3 versions really hits the mark? It was certainly a very pleasant afternoon spent making them. There’s some urgent business at hand though: Sale-a-bration 2022 (1st round!) ENDS on Monday, February 28th. If you’d like that Simply Marbelous DSP, or the Special Moments stamps, or the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP, get your fingers clickin’ and head over to the Online Store before close of business (11:59 pm Mountain Time) on Monday!

Hand-Penned Petals for the One I Love

Posted on by

I have one last Valentine, a love letter, if you will. I’ve used a combination of products, but the foundation is the Hand-Penned Petals bundle. You won’t find colors like these in nature, but that’s irrelevant: reinventing what you see is what creativity is all about.

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #BasicMasks #DIY #Handmadecard #OneILove #Valentines #HandPenned
  • Stamps: Hand-Penned Petals, Love & Happiness
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Pool Party, Soft Succulent, Just Jade
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Penned Flowers dies, Layering Circles dies, Basic Patterns Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes, Vellum Card Stock, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Basic Patterns Decorative Masks have sat neglected on my craft desk for an embarrassing amount of time. I’ve left them out, in the way and looking as though they ought to be picked up and put away, just to be sure I use them more. I LIKE them. They’re SIMPLE to use. They add a 💥 to any project.

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #BasicMasks #DIY #Handmadecard #OneILove #Valentines #HandPenned

One of the reasons I love Hand-Penned Petals so much is (wait for it, you know it’s coming) I love to color. These flowers have enough detail to inspire me to try something different each time, but not so much as to be exhausting. Yeah, I know you’re not supposed to have brown leaves, that’s kind of a bad thing in the real, garden world. But don’t you think it works here?

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #BasicMasks #DIY #Handmadecard #OneILove #Valentines #HandPenned

I added a little more stenciling with the mask on the inside of the card. Detailing the inside of the card and the envelope are little extras that help to focus the hand-made nature of a hand-made card. It’s another way of saying “I love you.”

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #BasicMasks #DIY #Handmadecard #OneILove #Valentines #HandPenned

You don’t need a special occasion to send this card, or any other card. Write a few lines inside – copy a couple of lines of poetry or steal something from social media. You don’t need to be all Shakespearean about it, and it doesn’t have to be perfect to be very, very good.

If you’ve never tried our masks, today is a great day – and with just a couple of days left to take advantage of Sale-a-bration, if you hurry, you’ll get something wonderful for free! Shop HERE.

DEAR VALENTINE

Posted on by

Happy Valentines Day, dear readers. While this is typically a day all about romantic love, I assure you that each one of you is beloved and absolutely wonderful just as you are! Today I’m sending each of you Valentine Greetings:

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #HandPenned #Valentine #DIY #handmadecard #StampinBlends
  • Stamps: Hand-Penned Petals, Love and Happiness
  • Color Palette: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla,Basic Black, Pool Party, Soft Succulent, Just Jade
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Penned Flowers dies, Stitched Rectangle dies, Stampin’ Blends, In Good Taste DSP, Blender Pen, Linen Thread, Daubers

There’s a lot going on here. This was decidedly a MORE IS MORE kinda card! I had an idea when I began, and while this resembles my idea it is definitely it’s own creation. It kept growing until I finally shouted out loud “STOP” because that is the only way it happens. (There is a lot of muttering, exclaiming, and general one-sided conversation in my craft room. It can be frightening for the unaware.)

Note: I stamped and colored the Hand-Penned image on Basic White card stock, then filled all the white parts with Crumb Cake. I’m not brave enough to work on colored card stock, but I didn’t want that BRIGHT white on the front of this card so I covered it up!

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #HandPenned #Valentine #DIY #handmadecard #StampinBlends

I stamped the leaves directly onto the DSP, put the image on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and tucked some unwound Linen Thread under the corner. I stamped and die cut the greeting, but decided it needed a little brush with the dauber before it went on the card.

There’s a little surprise inside as well – I masked the leaves and used a Blender Pen to soften the color once I’d gotten them all in place. I am having a dreadful problem with smudging these days and need to pay closer attention to my fingers – it is very annoying.

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! #HandPenned #Valentine #DIY #handmadecard #StampinBlends

I did a lot of intentional smudging directly on the DSP with daubers – I wanted the color of the DSP to be a little closer to Crumb Cake, but when I used that ink it seemed a little yellow hued to me. So I added little sprinkles with my Early Espresso marker, and then I put some ink in water and used a paint brush to drop bigger little sprinkles (I think that might have been the point when I yelled STOP.)

If you don’t have these supplies now, you’re going to need to get creative to make a Valentine for today. Not to worry, this card would make a lovely birthday card as well! You can find all the supplies HERE.

Hey Valentine: A Bouquet of Love

I love products that work hard for me, and when then can do multiple things, well, I’m sold! The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies really earn their real estate in my craft room with images and textures that will go way beyond Cupid’s arrows.

MauiStamper Stampin' Up! Bouquet of Love Hello Friend #DIY #valentinecard #handmade #loveyou
  • Stamps: Retired (sorry)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, So Saffron, Fresh Freesia, Soft SeaFoam
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Hello Friends Designer Series paper, Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, Pearl Basic Jewels

I love the way that Hello Friend DSP looks behind the heart die cut opening! Those white flecks make the card sparkle, and the non-traditional colors help this card stand out from all the rest.

The banner, flowers, and leaves are also included in the hybrid embossing folder bundle, and they’re the perfect accent to the sweet floral embossed layer. There’s so much potential with this one product! Check out more details in the Online Store.

  • Accessories: Big Boss, Brilliant Rainbow Dies, Blending Brushes, 2021-2023 In Color 6×6 DSP, Multipurpose Glue, Note cards and envelopes

I used washi tape to hold my note card in place, then layered the die cut negative over the note card and secured it with a little more washi. Brushing the arcs is easy – choosing the colors is harder! I could do this over and over again with different results each time. The template is good for a number of uses, especially since the Blending Brush doesn’t make it soggy.

I love this sentiment from the new Slim Sayings stamp set! It’s perfect for any occasion, and in my opinion, it’s right up there with Mr. Rogers’ “I like you just the way you are.” And can’t we all use a little more of that right now?

Coloring In the Moment

I love to color, and I really love to color with Stampin’ Blends. We were given In the Moment as part of our swag for last year’s OnStage event, and I’ve been playing with the images – in lots of color combinations!

  • Stamps: In the Moment, Friendly Hello (Sale-a-bration 2022.1)
  • Color Palette: Petal Pink, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Soft SeaFoam, Ivory (Blend) Crumb Cake, Basic White, Basic Black

I’m always learning as I do it, and I confess that while my work isn’t perfect, it makes me happy, and I’ve decided not to judge it any more than that.

You can probably see that I played a lot with the colors – I added some Crumb Cake over the Petal Pink to darken the tone on the blanket. This image is open to interpretation – what’s the shirt and what’s the blanket? Does it matter? No. No, it does not. Just color it and be happy.
