Beth's Paper Cuts: Hippo Happiness

Hi Everyone. Today I want to share a fun new bundle from Stampin' Up! called Hippo Happiness. Hippo Happiness is a 2-step stamp, really a three step stamps, so you can create custom animals in a variety of color combinations. Each animal has a base layer stamp, then a top layer stamp, and finally a face stamp. Here I have used tone on tone Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, and Misty Moonlight for my animals. The Bright and cheery paper is from the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper collection.

This is such a cute and fun stamp set and then to add these fantastic dies really just pushes it over the top. Take a look at all the label dies! Most have stitching detail. There are even two ribbon slot dies. This is a die collection that you are going to reach for again and again even when you are not using the cute little animals.

I made a video to show how to put these cards together, as well as how to do a Faux Tie Dye look on the Ribbon. I also show the paper and dies up close, so you can see the whole collection.

Here is an up close on that Hippo!
This card uses Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana cardstock. Inks used are Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.
The sequins are new, they are the Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins.

The Unicorn card uses the reverse side of the same sheet of Artistry Blooms Designer Series paper as the hippo card. The cardstock used on this version is Magenta Madness and Mango Melody. Inks used here are Magenta Madness, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green. For the lighter tone of pink, I used Magenta Madness, but first stamped off on a scratch sheet of paper to remove some of the ink, then stamped the image onto my cardstock.
