Hippo Happiness: Favourite Bundle in 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue

Welcome to another Global Friends Stampin' up Blog Hop!

I have been absent on here for over a year. For those of you who don't know, I became a work from home Travel Agent (contact me for a free quote! erica@enchanted-vacations.ca) and started a Disney Blog with my sisters over at www.stressfreemickey.com.

Things have been very busy, even with covid!

With regulations here in Vancouver, BC, we had to put our monthly stamp club on hold. Last month I did a class over zoom... by dropping off supplies to everyone and doing it together online.
This month, though, we were able to socially distance and do a club partly on my deck, and partly in the kitchen.

We used my absolutely new favourite stamp bundle called Hippo Happiness. It comes with dies for either the big shot or the new die cutting machine, coming soon!



I LOVE the stamp set, but I'm even more excited about the dies because there's a million ways to use them!
The shapes are good for any kind of card, even if the hippos and other animals aren't really your thing!



Here are what the dies look like!


See what I mean about the shapes?

We kept it really simple with the card, but I'm super happy with it!




We used two of the new in colours for the card, I really like them for the summer time. This card is perfect for a little girl in your life... and if you want to make it for a boy, just change the hearts to bow ties, and the colours a bit and voila!

Ink: 
Magenta Madness
Crushed Curry
Just Jade
Calypso Coral 
Staz on
Silver Slate
Basic Grey

Paper:
Whisper White
Magenta Madness

Dies and Stamp set:
Hippo Happiness

Technique: 
I dragged the edges of the paper on the ink pad to get the "messy" edging, and the only tricky part of the card is lining up the sentiment. If you have the stamparatus, then it will be very simple... otherwise just line it up best you can with the grid paper.

  9. great card which I will need to case, since I was "taken" with that set, as well! Question, is the heart in that set also? I assume you created the heart paper yourself? Thanks for sharing your ideas!
