Hippest Hippos Stamp Set

Hippo Dies

Each of the Blogs (listed below) in the hop, will have a fantastic Fancy Fold Card to share with you. They'll also have a printable PDF tutorial for their project! Pretty cool huh?  You'll get a really nice collection of Fancy Fold tutorials absolutely FREE just for hanging out with us today! 

For my project, you'll need: 

* Flirty Flamingo Cardstock 6"x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" for base
* Flirty Flamingo Cardstock 4" x 4", scored at 1/2" for flap
* Flirty Flamingo Cardstock 3"x 3", cut with 2nd largest Scalloped Circles Die
* Basic White Cardstock 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" for inside panel
* Basic White Cardstock – 2 3⁄4” x 2 3⁄4” (die cut with 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Die)
* Basic White Cardstock – scrap for stamping & die cut dancing Hippo
* DSP – 1 5⁄8” x 5 3⁄8”, 3 3⁄8” x 3 7⁄8”
* 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds
* White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon (42")

Instructions:
* Stamp hippo & sentiment on inside panel in Memento ink. Color hippo & die cut dancing hippo with
Stampin’ Blends markers.
* Glue 1⁄2” strip of 4”x4” Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to the right backside of inside panel, then glue inside panel to inside of card base.
* Attach DSP strips to coordinating spots on card front.
* Using a Blending Brush and Pool Party ink, create a spotlight of color in the middle of the Basic White Stitched Circle.
* Adhere circle to Scalloped Circle with Stampin’ Seal.
* Attach entire circle piece to the 4”x4” panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
* Add a few In-Color Opal Rounds to panel for embellishment.
* Cut two 21” lengths of White Crinkle Ribbon, then shred each up the middle into two skinny strips (making four strips). Holding all the strips together, tie into a bow and attach with a Mini Glue Dot to finish off the card.

I absolutely LOVE the bow on this card. It's a super cute one I learned from my sweet stampin' friend Tammy Wilson who makes the best bows ever! 


I think this card is just as adorable as it can be. Now I just need to decide who I'm going to send it to!
