Welcome to our Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. I am part of an amazing group of demonstrators from around the world who are part of a Tech Academy run by the amazing Louise Sims. Her Website School and Tech Academy helps Stampin Up Demonstrators navigate their way around the world of websites and social media. Now many of us have our websites up and running, a blog hop seemed the next logical step. This month the theme is Cards for Kids, and I though I would share this pretty Hippest Hippos Double Gate Fold Card
There are just so many images in the catalogues that work perfectly for the little people in your lift. But I just couldn’t resist sharing another card with the Hippest Hippo’s Stamp set.
We made this on at our recent Team Gathering and everyone really enjoyed making it. Our theme was Celebrating Sale-a-bration and we really enjoyed playing with 6 of the products available in the Sale-a-bration brochure. If you would like to find out more about joining our fun group of Hugs and Kisses Stampers then please do get in contact. Join during August and not only do you receive £130 worth of products for £99, free postage and ongoing discounts whilst active. You will receive a Planner bundle worth £42 absolutely FREE. WOO HOO!
Hippest Hippos Double Gate Fold Card
I do love a fun fold & its even more fun with a FREE Stamp set!
Yes, that’s right. You can only earn this Stamp set for FREE during Sale-a-bration, which finishes on the 31st August.
For each £45 spend you can chose 1 item from our Sale-a-bration brochure. There are also some wonderful, bumper products available which kick in on a £90 purchase.
Don’t those hippo’s look like they are having such fun. This would make a perfect card for a budding dancer or ballerina.
The stunning DSP (Silver and Gold 6″ x 6″ Speciality Paper) has been coloured using some Flirty Flamingo Ink and a Blending Brush. If you fade the ink as you apply the ink up the card then you have this pretty ombre effect. The Silver and Gold 6″ x 6″ Speciality Paper is also one of the items you can chose from the Sale-a-bration brochure and is already firm favourite.
The cute hippos have been stamped with Tuxedo Memento Ink and coloured with Stamping Blends. Just three colour Combo’s meaning you don’t have to splash out on lots of products if you are just starting your paper crafting journey
The sentiments are from the Amazing Phrasing Stamp set, which is? You guessed it! Another FREE item you could select from the wonderful Sale-a-bration brochure. It really is just jam packed full of lovely products!
