Stampin' Up Hippo Happiness Massive Thanks Card

Today's card features Stampin' Up Massive Thanks stamp set along side Hippo Happiness stamp set and Playing with Patterns DSP.  I love the sentiment stamp from Massive Thanks that calls the card a hug.

I used a classic Z- fold card base in Purple Posy card stock.  I adhered some Playing with Patterns DSP to a Night of Navy panel.  I stamped the thank you sentiment from Massive Thanks to a piece of Whisper White.  I die cut the sentiment as well as the next larger size from the coordinating Hippo and Friends die cut set.  This die set has a lot of dies that work well as focal pieces on your cards.  I adhered the die cuts together with some Stampin' Dimensionals and placed it in the center of the front.  

I stamped the cute horse from the Hippo Happiness set in coordinating Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana in the corner.  I finished the animal with a cute bow die stamped in Calypso Coral and die cut it.  I stamped the remaining sentiment in Coastal Cabana.  I felt the inside needed just a little bit more so I stamped a butterfly from the same set.  

I adhered my stamped panel of Whisper White to a panel of Night of Navy.  Viola.... it turned out so cute!
