Picture This With Peekaboo Farm

How much fun are these fab critters?

Peekaboo Farm. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

This Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set has 5 fabulous farm animals, a wall for the them to peek over, plus senitments and other images too.

Here I’ve used it with the new circle shapes from the Picture This Dies.

My main colour is Fresh Freesia, with the stamping of the coloured images in Basic Gray.

I cut my Fresh Freesia piece, plus a Basic White piece with the dies. This gives me the bits to peek through, plus the bits to stamp on.

Each image is stamped onto one of the cut out circles and is coloured using Stamping Blends. I used quite a lots of Blends for this project!

My Basic White pieces are stuck in place through circles, before the Fresh Freesia piece is raised up over them on Dimensionals.

For some added fun, I have stamped the hooves onto a separate sheet, cut these out and then stuck them overhanging the edge of the circles.

The finishing touch is some Loose Flower Flourishes on the head of the pig, and around the sentiment.

I can’t wait to use the other stamps in this set, and the other dies too.

This set is great for those who need to make cards for children, of all ages!

Oh So Ombre DSP Butterflies

December 30, 2020December 29, 2020 ~ Karen Young

With the first SAB of the year just around the corner, I couldn’t resist making a project with the Oh So Ombre DSP. One of the FREE items you can earn from 5th January.

This card, with a heartfelt and poignant message for these times we find ourselves in, uses the patterned side of the DSP from the pack.

I used another piece of the DSP on this project I shared the other day.

As you know, I love a project with a monochrome feel, so using Rococo Rose cardstock for my basecard and a Whisper White layer, with Tuxedo Black stamping was all I needed.

The butterflies, from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set were stamped onto another sheet of the DSP, this time, the non-patterned piece. I made sure to chose various parts of the DSP to give me different shades of the colour.

These were punched out using the Butterfly Duet Punch and had parts coloured using Wink of Stella.

A sentiment from the Bunch of Blossoms Stamp Set, with the end shaped from another new product arriving soon in the January-June Mini Catalogue.

Glue Dots are used to attach the smaller butterflies, with the large one stuck using a Dimensionals.

SAB and the January-June Mini Catalogue go live on 5th January, so you won’t see links to any items from these publications listed below.

Don’t forget to take a look at the retiring items from the August-December Mini Catalogue as your chance to grab those products ends on 4th Jan.

Missing You with Waterfront and Colorful Seasons

May 19, 2018May 7, 2018 ~ Karen Young

As you know, I’ve recently been on holiday to Cyprus.

We’ve been returning to the same place for a few years now and are getting to know the staff.

So, when we heard that the usual bartender was unable to be at the resort this season, I popped this card in my suitcase to send while I was there.

This ‘missing you’ project reminds me of sitting by the pool under the palm trees with a nice cooling drink.

I’ve used Waterfront for the main design and you will probably notice it is similar to this project. Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede combine to make the idyllic scene. The two drinks are from Colorful Seasons and represent the drinks we normally order. Even though they are proportionally incorrect for the whole project, they still add a fun twist!

Finally, the sentiment from the Oh, So Eclectic Stamp Set makes the sun.
