Hi Everyone
Happy Handy Hippo Monday to you all.
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful weekend. The weather in my neck of the woods was really good .. .. but this does mean I have made even more ironing to add to the ironing I had left over from last week!!! Shame on me.
If only I could summon up as much enthusiasm for ironing as I do for my crafty makes LOL!!!
This week I challenged myself to see exactly how many items I could make using just one sheet of coloured card, one sheet of white card, one stamp set and one cuttlebug embossing folder .. .. .. and this is my selection of creations
The biggest creation made from the sheet of card was the card at the very top of the picture which is 4" x 4" square.
Can you believe that there were still stamps in the set that I never got to use .. .. I ran out of card before I ran out of images LOL!!
Below you can find the Handy Hippo magic button .. .. and if you click on it you can see all the lovely goodies I used to make this selection of stationery. Everything has been automatically added to a shopping basket and you can remove anything you do not need (or add anything else you can't resist).
Of course I realise I could have made far more items if I had just made Christmas tags .. .. but that would have been a little too easy!!!
Here you can see how my sheet of coloured card was divided up:
The white card was used in a much less organised fashion for stamping the images and embossing.
So that is me for today. Did I make more or less pieces of stationery than you imagined?

I hope you all have a lovely day and I will catch you again tomorrow.
Love
and all the lovely friendly people at Handy Hippo

Wow you have been creative and all those projects made with a small supply of stash, just goes to show you do not need loads of stuff to make gorgeous cards.

Good grief Jules that`s alot of makes from just 2 sheets and all fabulous too. Just goes to show how we manage so many snippets if we don`t use them in one go.

So if we take this approach to every sheet of paper - we make no more snippets :-D Ah, but then we couldn't come and play in the playground with you :-( Boo! I'd never be that organised anyhow!
