Stampin' Up! So Hoppy Together

Back in December, I created a fun card with the Stampin' Up So Hoppy stamp set. Today I reworked the card with sentiments from the Forever Lovely stamp set and the Meant to Be Stamp Set so I could use the card for Valentines. The So Hoppy set is a free Sale-A-Bration selection. What's Sale-A-Bration?

Sale-A-Bration is a special sale Stampin' Up! holds during Jan - Feb - March, where each $50 or $100 purchase earns you free selections from Sale-A-Bration merchandise from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. The Forever Lovely set and Be Mine Stitched Dies are from the Occasions catalog and the Tea Room Specialty Designer Series paper with the flies used on these cards are from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.

Add lipstick to your frog from So Hoppy Together Stamp Set

I used a basecard of Granny Apple Green, then a layer of Basic Black. Then a layer of a print from the Tea Room Specialty designer series paper that I remembered had flies or bees as part of its background -- perfect for my little green froggie.

Valentine card using the Stampin' Up! So Hoppy Together Stamp Set

I die cut a stitched Whisper White rectangle using the new set of Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (bottom of page 28 in the new Occasions catalog). Then I set up my Stamparatus with the little bugs images, the frog image and the sentiment stamp, all on a single Stamparatus plate so that I could stamp all three at one time in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then I used the light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends alcohol-based markers to color the little bugs and the frog. I used Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to add eyelashes to the frog, and I used a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker to add lips to the frog.

The hearts were die cut out of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets (149712), a free selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure, using the multi-hearts die from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies (148527).
