Today I wanted to share another adorable card that features the Hippest Hippo stamp set and the Hippo Dies (both are freebies with a $50 qualifying purchase during Sale-a-bration). To tell you the truth when I first saw these hippos, I thought now what in the world would I do with those, LOL, it didn’t take me long to figure it out. Today I added a little technique called paper piecing.
So here is what I came up with…
The card base is Smoky Slate cardstock that is cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I added a piece of Designer Series Paper (this one is from last year but you can use any paper you like) that measured 2 x 5 ¼” and I just attached it to the left of the card base. I then stamped my sentiment “you’re ALWAYS on POINT” onto the bottom right corner using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Next, I stamped my image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and I also stamped the skirt area onto a scrap of my Designer Series Paper (this one I fussy cut out). I colored my Hippo using Ivory, Flirty Flamingo and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and then I adhered the skirt I cut out of the DSP on to it. Then, I die cut two stitched squares using the Stylish Dies one from Basic Gray cardstock using the largest square and the second from Basic White cardstock using the second largest die. I adhered the two squares together and added them to the card base at an angle as shown in the photo using Dimensionals. I added my adorable little ballerina to them again using Dimensionals. For the final touch I added three of the Pastel Pearls. A simple but adorable card!
