Hippo Happiness

Hey there stampers!  I've been playing around with a super fun stamp set this weekend!  It's called Hippo Happiness.  This stamp set has 27 different images.  It's a mixture of the cutest animals and some super fun coordinating sentiments.  

What makes it even more fun are the coordinating dies!  They are called Hippo & Friends.  This is a pretty large die set.  There are 25 dies total and they cut out the animal shapes, flowers, and several other frame images.

Here's the card I created tonight using both the stamp set and coordinating dies.

To create this card: 

• Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock to 4" x 10" and score it at 5".  
• Using a Sponge Dauber and Magenta Madness Ink and the dotted pattern from the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks- sponge the background
• Cut two 3-1/2" squares and score them in half diagonally and adhere to the card base on the back side only. The triangles will overlap on the front but that's ok- the belly band hides it.
• Cut a piece of Magenta Madness Card Stock to 4-1/4" x 5-1/4" and adhere the dotted layer.
• Cut a piece of Vellum Card Stock to 1-1/4" x 11" and wrap loosely around the card to create the belly band.  
• Embellish the belly band as you wish!  For my card- I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to create a framed image.  

Super easy to create and fun to receive!  I hope you have enjoyed my project!
