Welcome,
Happy Thursday friends ,
Normal Two for Thursday BUT sorry we had a very busy week last week and
I wasn’t able to get the second video filmed so only the
Glitter Pit LIVE replay from yesterday today
BUT I have posted the past two videos on this card design from a couple years ago
both videos are using retired stamp sets but if you got those stamp sets
you will have fun making this card with those too .
The Hippest Hippos stamp set #159921 and Hippos dies # 159928 are
in the upcoming
Sale-a-Bration mini catalog that starts on July 1 , 2022
both the stamp set and dies will be FREE at the $50 level YAY! (each) .
This card is the sweetest fun fold card but the star of the
show is the cutest hippest hippos with their cute personalities & all the accessories in the Hippo dies collection
- Glasses/ Sunglasses
- Snorkel & mask
- Boat
- Umbrella
- Water drops
- Flowers
- Tub
and so much more !
I will mention the glasses are so fun
I cut the glasses in Balmy Blue and or Blushing Bride and also in Basic Black
so I add the black for the lens to make them into “sunglasses ”
without the lens they are cute as glasses.
I cut the lens with window sheets to give them the true glasses looks LOL!
You will see that in the LIVE replay too if you want to see that ~ It’s so cute!
I recommend you running the window sheet and die through the die cut machine a
couple times and even add a shim for cutting the thick Window sheets for the lens on the glasses .
I also made this cute Gnome card This cute Gnome on the front is actually
from the coordinating dies die cut three pieces
- hat
- beard
- and feet
and adhere together ~BOOM baby there’s the super cute gnome .
Please Note:
The brand new items I’m using on these cards will be available on July 1st and
I will not be able to post links to those items below in the supply list .
Plus the 1″ Circle Punch and 1-1/4″ Circle punch I used for the LIVE event both are retired

I’m up early today and thought I would just like to say how much fun I am having watching your YouTube Live demonstrations! So nice to be a part of the team of ladies that follow you on the chat!
You’re the best!
Hi! I made the fun fold gate card, but I am waiting for my hippo stamp set to arrive. I will post a picture of the sheep set with dies and use it for a baby card. As soon as my hippos arrive I will send a pic! Thank you for your fun stamping thoughts and easy to follow directions
Loved the hippos awesome job with the glasses!!
Thank you . It’s seriously all about the tiny details 🙂
Adorable project, Dawn! Love the fun-fold!
Those hippos!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Thank you so much for another awesome tutorial!!!
Hey Dawn….
We think alike !!!!
I ordered both the Hippos and the Gnomes…
LOVE your card..
Love your paper shares too ❤️❤️❤️
Love the hippos. Cannot wait for Sale A Bration!
These Hippos are adorable!!! Looking forward to July 1 to order! Thank you for making every Wednesday so fun!
Hi Dawn, another great card !! Love watching you and your happy smile.You are such a happy go lucky person and you bring everyone to a happy place . See you next week !!
Thank you girlie 🙂
Love this! I already made one this morning with the Otters and will be using the hippo’s next! Those dies just put this stamp set over the top!
I love this fun fold card, and the hippos and gnomes are adorable with this card design. Great job Dawn!
All the “floating gatefold cards” are so darn cute. I am definitely going to make one for some of the grandkids. I have many stamps that will be so cute for that card. The Hippos are really so cute. Thanks for a great tutorial. You had a happy mail card a few weeks ago…..I think it had daffodils on the front then it opened & a vase sort of popped up or slid open on the inside. So cute….maybe you could explore how that card is made & do a demonstration on the mechanics it???? Good luck to Richard on a safe trip.
Love, love, love the hippos
Thanks for demonstrating this card. This is in my stack to try.
YAY! You will have a lot of fun !
Hugs
Dawn

The hippos are so cute! Love them, and can’t wait to order after July 1st! Counting the days, lol
Loved your card video yesterday Dawn, and I was so excited to win one of the glitter spinners! I never win anything! I squealed out and woke my husband up, he was napping after work. He and my son came running into the living room to see if I was ok, lol Thanks to you, and thanks to Gay also who donated the embossing folder! I love the design in it, and will be really happy to get it. I emailed you my address. Don’t include my comment in this contest since I already won yesterday. I just wanted to say “thanks” 🙂
Hi Dawn, I love your videos and love the card sketches you share. I don’t always get
to watch the lives but catch the replays. Thanks for sharing. Carrol
Loved the hippo cards! Thanks for sharing!
How did you color the hippo? It looks like there is a small amount of blue outlining him – how was this done?
Oh my goodness! That hippo card is just adorable. I always love your cards. I would love to win the Nature’s Prints stamp set!! Thanks, Dawn!
Love, love the Hippo card! I look forward to your videos every Wednesday. Thank you Dawn!
Love those hippos. What I really love though is your enthusiasm and giggle laugh when you craft…… so contagious.
Such a cute card!
You made this one seem effortless, watching you is such a joy. The Hippos are adorable.
I have tried this card several times and not quite get it right. Your way of adding the mechanisms was great. Thank you and thank you for the give away.

Loved the video. I’ll be so happy when everything slows down so I can get back into my card room thanks for your ideas I love making a card cased by you to give to my friends. Have a great weekend
I agree Norelda, Its always busy in the summer something is always going on but, try and take even a few minutes to craft it helps us to be better to those around us too <3

All the Floating Gate Fold samples are so cute! Especially the Hippos and Gnomes!
Love your energy, floating gate folds, hippos, etc…
It’s Wednesday!!! Sun is shining! Can’t wait to see what your creating today!!!
Even as a fellow demonstrator, I love watching your videos. You are so full of spunk and enjoyable to watch. I immediately had to make this card. I like that you love to make things look more realistic, but instead of the using the window material, I used glossy accents on all of the glasses and raindrops. The card came out pretty cool. Thanks again for the tutorial.
Thank you so much for the instructions to make this awesome card!
not sure if this will get to you or not but I have not got your newsletters, mail, and videos for a month, even the Glitter pit, tried to sign up again and said am signed up, sent an email to what I thought was you, but have not heard back.. I miss the newsletters and and your cards and videos, so hope I get things fixed so as to get all again—Thanks, Donna
Donna you need to check your spam /Junk folders in your email box
I’m not sure why it’s not arriving in your email
So sorry
Hugs
Dawn
