Hippest Waterfall

Watch a person's face light up as they pull on the twine to reveal how these happy hippos dance in celebration. What do you think?

   Hippest Hippos

   Daffodil Delight 2" Sq.

   Baker's Twine

   Adhesive

I followed the steps at SCS Tutorials for the Waterfall Card. They do an excellent explanation with pictures for you to follow along.

First, I randomly stamped all the hippos on the Sahara Sand card front, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then stamped a different hippo on each of the 1-7/8" Sahara Sand squares and colored them, using various markers.

Next, I adhered the Sahara Sand squares to a colored 2" square and laid them out on my table in the order I wanted them to appear on the card.

I scored the long purple piece and adhered the squares onto it, keeping them in order. Note that only the top of the square is attached to the strip.

Next, I placed this strip on the card front to see where I should attach the Berry Burst strip. I did not adhere the hippos yet. You want to make sure the strip is somewhat in the center of the card. I removed the strip and attached the Berry Burst strip to the card front only, using two eyelets.

I then adhered the strip permanently onto the Berry Burst strip as shown in the instructions from the link above.

Lastly, I added an eyelet at the bottom of the strip and threaded some twine for pulling the waterfall card down. I left the inside blank for a handwritten message to be added when it is given.

Here are the pictures of the rest of the squares:

Thank You Raspberry

Here is a blast into the past. The only thing current on this clean and simple card is the Basic White panel found on the inside of the card, the Basic Black matte used behind the DSP, and the glue that holds it all together. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic Black matte.

I then stamped the strip of DSP with the sentiment and added it to the DSP panel, using two eyelets.

Next, I added the panel to the Rose Red card front.

Lastly, I added a few Rose Red Candy Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Yesterday

 Not everyone has a crystal vase waiting for flowers to fill it. Often, we have to grab whatever container is nearby. This is usually a pitcher of some sort. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Country Home

Paper:

   Cajun Craze A-2

   Country Lane DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 3-1/4 x 3-3/4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4, 3-1/4 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Blackberry Bliss

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Basic Black

   Cajun Craze

   Calypso Coral

   Cherry Cobbler

   Early Espresso

   Grapefruit Grove

   Mossy Meadow

   Poppy Parade

   Powder Pink

   Sahara Sand

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Masking

Accessories:

   Layering Ovals Framelits Dies

   27" Crushed Curry Baker's Twine (2)

   4 Eyelets

   Eyelet Setter Tools

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my pitcher and flowers. I then colored in the image using various markers. I listed them above.

I then decided to mask the image and stamp the background, using the square tile stamp. Once I realized the mess I made, I die cut the image out using an oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits.

I adhered it onto a panel of DSP. I added an eyelet to each corner and ran some baker's twine through them. 

I adhered some DSP to the card base and added this smaller panel using dimensionals. 

I do my best to salvage and use everything I can. Of course, it is not always possible, and believe me I have thrown some horrendous mistakes in the trash bin. Still, I think I was able to salvage this one. What do you think? Would you throw up if you got this in the mail?

Thank you for stopping by and spending time with me. I appreciate your time and would love to hear your thoughts. Contact Me if you have any questions.
