Having Fun With the Hippest Hippos – Love You a Ton

2022 July – December Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Round 2 is finally here!

Today’s card features two of the items from the Sale-A-Bration catalog – Hippest Hippos and the coordinating Hippos dies. I love both of these items. They are earned separately which means for every $50 you spend during SAB you choose one of these items. If you spend $100 you can get both.

Aren’t they adorable? The Hippest Hippos stamp comes with the three hippos on my card and 4 sentiments. The Hippos dies come with 19 fun filled dies. I die cut a few of the dies for my card – snorkling gear, umbrella, bucket, splashes, grass, flowers, hearts and hippos. There are many combinations in which you can use all the dies.

With or Without Sequins

Do you like embellishments? When I made this card, I felt it needed something so I added some of the green For Everything Fancy sequins shown on the first card. Which do you prefer? Did I make a good decision?
