Stampin' Up Hippo Happiness Happy Hippo Birthday Card

Today's card features one of my all time favorite stamp sets: Stampin' Up Hippo Happiness.  I used the sketch from this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for inspiration. 

 

I started with a panel of Pool Party card stock that I dry embossed with Stampin' Up Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder.  I adhered a piece of Stampin' Up Pattern Party DSP (free with qualifying order) to the embossed panel in a diagonal fashion.  I trimmed the excess DSP with my paper snips.

I inked up Stampin' Up Hippo Happiness Stamp Set with Blushing Briday, Polished Pink, So Saffron, Bumblebee, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay ink.  I stamped the faces with Mementos Tuxedo Black ink.  I die cut each image with Stampin' Up Hippo and Friends Die Set.  

I stamped the sentiment from Stampin' Up Timeless Tulips Stamp Set with Coastal Cabana ink on a strip of Basic White card stock.  I punched the end off with Stampin' Up Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.  I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front with liquid adhesive.  I adhered the die cuts to the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

The inside is a panel of Basic White card stock that I lined up on my Stamparatus.  I stamped the sentiment with Coastal Cabana ink.  I moved the panel up 1/4" and stamped it again without inking the stamp up.  I then moved the panel up one more time.
