I made this card for my granddaughter’s 5th birthday. She’s a tie dye girl who loves purple and pink and I think she’ll like the cute hippo!

The Hippest Hippos Stamp set is one of the free products you can get during Sale-a-bration. Another Sale-a-bration product is the coordinating Hippo Dies. Each of these are free with a $50 purchase. Spend $100 and you can get both for free. It’s such a cute set.

Gorgeous Grape Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Basic White Layer - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8, stamp using the Spiral Dye Stamp. I used the Stamparatus since the stamp is so large. Color stamp with Flirty Flamingo and Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Markers. Spray stamp with Stampin’ Spritz a few times, then stamp on the white layer.

Adhere layers to card base.
Stamp hippo on scrap of Basic White with Black Memento Ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends. I used Light Petal Pink for the face and belly, Light Smoky Slate for the rest of the hippo and light Flirty Flamingo for the ballet slippers and nails. Cut using the coordinating Hippo Die.
Stamp sentiment on scrap of Basic White and cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, keeping the stamped part to the right side. Cut off left edge.
Cut Vellum circle using the 2nd from largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
Cut 3 flowers from Gorgeous Grape using the flower die from the Hippos Dies.
Adhere the sentiment behind the hippo and adhere the hippo and sentiment to vellum circle using Dimensionals.
Adhere 3 flowers to vellum circle.
Adhere the focal piece to card making sure you put your adhesive (I used Liquid Glue) behind the pieces so it doesn’t show through and adhere to card.
Add some Iridescent Pearls to flower centers and around the card.
