Fun Friday using Hippo Happiness bundle

Welcome to my blog. Stampin Up is neat in that you can use it with other products in your stash to make your cards. For today’s cards I used a die I have to make a flip card with the Hippo Happiness bundle. I also used the Medium Daisy punch and the Playing With Patterns DSP. I cut out the card base with the die as well as the layers. I used the dies from the die set to make the circle and ovals. I stamped the images on Whisper White card stack then die cut them out using the dies that come in the Hippo Happiness bundle. I punched out the daisies using the punch and scrap DSP. I edged the flowers with Crushed Curry ink.
I think you’d have fun with the Hippo Happiness bundle. You can buy the products I used from my website (except for the card die).

Zany Zebra 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder using Playing With Patterns DSP

Welcome to my blog. I needed some thank you and birthday cards so I decided to try a one sheet wonder template that I saw on Pinterest by Jackie Bolhuis. From this template you can make 4 cards. You need 2 pieces of DSP. I chose Playing with Patterns because of the colors and thought would work well with the Zany Zebras stamp set. This a cute fun stamp set.
Materials and Directions 
1. To start you will need 4 Whisper White card bases @ 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 on the 8-1/2 inches side .
2. You will need 2 pieces of Playing With Patterns DSP . Here is the template I used for cutting.

I cut both at the same time. I made the 1st cut @ 2-1/2 inches then cut the pieces from this section. I then cut the remaining piece at 1-1/2 then cut the pieces from this section. That will leave you with a 2 x 6 inch piece that will be used for 2 cards.
3. 2 cards I made by mixing the pieces and adhering to the card front as in the photo.

4. 2 cards I made by using the 2 x 6 pieces. I cut these down to 2 x 5. I then cut a layering piece
2-1/4 x 5-1/4. I glued the DSP to this.

5. I used the Layering Circle dies for the zebra.I cut out the small one using Whisper I then stamped the zebra It. The larger one I die cut out of Bumblebee cardstock. I then attached the small one to it and adhere to the card front with dimensionals.

6. The sentiment and images for the other 2 cards came from this set as well. I used the new colors Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight to stamp them.

Daisy Lane Triangle Fold Card

Welcome to my blog. I like making fun fold cards. They add interest to the card. The Triangle Fold card is simple to make. I used DaisyLane stamp set, the 2 Daisy punches and Flowers For Every Season DSP.
Materials and Directions ( pictures are from another triangle fun fold)
1. Start with a piece of Old Olive cardstock 8-1/2 x 11. Score @ 4-1/2 on the 8-1/2 inch side and 5-1/2 on the 11 inch side.

2. Cut diagonally. I had to cut by hand because my cutter is small. This gives you 2 card bases.

3. Cut a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of DSP diagonally. Glue the pieces to the front.

4. Punch out 2 Daisies using the medium and large punch in Whisper White. I edged the flowers using Daffodils Delight ink. Glue small on top of the medium and adhere to front of the card.
5. Inside layer is 4 x 5-1/4 inch of Whisper White. I stamped the flower from Daisy Lane  using Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is from a retired set. I used a strip of  scrap DSP for the edge.
