#DOswts389 Summertime Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.
 

Today's feature is Summertime Inspiration and is giving you a sneak peak at the Sale-A-Bration Hippest Hippos stamp set and Hippo Dies. Sale-A-Bration promotion starts next week on Friday July 1, 2022! I think these two Hippo products are going to be a very popular item during Sale-A-Bration. If you want to get these two items, you'll want to place your $100 or more order early in the promotion before inventory possibly runs out before the promotion ends on August 31. 


There are 3 Hippo images in the set. The dancing hippo is absolutely adorable. Summertime makes me think of dance recitals, and I've seen quite a few cards made with this cute hippo ballerina. In this card I used two tools critical to the success of  the card: 
  1. Stamparatus - the hinge plate can be moved up each time to create the row of dancing hippos 
  2. Masking paper: pg. 149 in the annual catalog. This is a new product and much better than using post-it notes. I stamped the hippo onto the 2 sided masking paper, die cut it and peeled off one sticky side. I stamped the first hippo and then laid the masking paper over it as I moved the hinge plate up to stamp another hippo. I repeated it until I had all 4 hippos
    1. Pro Tip: the masking paper can stick stronger than you're used to with a post it. I pressed down in the middle of the image to leave space to make it easier to pull up the masking paper each time I needed to move it over. It looses it's stickiness a bit over time but it's still sticky for me to use in a future project. 
 

The 5th Hippo is a die cut, popped up on dimensionals. I decided to color each tutu a different color with my Stampin' Blends. Doesn't this just make you smile?!?
