Hip Hippo Hooray

by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

I have a few (or more) leftover stamped/coloured images from the Zoo Crew set from Paper Smooches. I decided I wanted to make a little tag. It didn’t quite work out like I had in my mind but hey, it was fun to make. I had started with a pretty blue background but it just got lost so it was back to this gorgeous green cardstock from American Crafts. It gave the card so much more POP!

So here’s today’s card. Just a little twist on Sunday’s card. Must admit I prefer Sunday’s effort. lol

Hippo Hooray Materials used: Cuteasaurus, Zoo Crew (Paper Smooches), Home Sweet Home (Lawn Fawn); Cardstock - American Crafts, Knight; Distress Markers (Ranger); Lawn Cuts (Lawn Fawn); Distress Stickles - Rock Candy (Ranger); and Twine (Maya Arts).

Even when I don’t love my final creations, and I know you’ve all heard me say that a few times now, I really do enjoy the process and ultimately, I think that is what it is all about.

Happy Stamping!

Eeeeee…what a darling, sweet, delightful tag/card! Don’t you just want to give that wee hippo a hug (and I’d love to have one that size for a pet!). Background, tag, colouring, layout – it’s all fantastic!! You’re inspiring me to play with my Zoo Crew set! BTW, have you checked out the latest PS challenge: sheer and clear? I have my thinking cap on; hopefully you’ll have a chance to play, too, because I know you’ll make something fabulous!! Have an excellent Tuesday! I’m hoping for some card making time, but my folks have a whole X 10000 number of errands lined up for me (window washing being one…I don’t mind, but you can imagine how I obsess over making sure not a streak can be seen!!). Looking forward to your next dazzling creation!

Hi C, if it stayed that size, yes, I’d definitely want one as a pet too. haha Such a cute stamp. PS has the cutest images and you *must* drag out your Zoo Crew set and play with it too. I have seen the new PS Challenge but haven’t really given it much thought….maybe this weekend. Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂 Oh errands…boo! Don’t they just get in the way of all the fun things?! lol Oh but they do need to be done. 🙂 Hope you fit in some play time amongst the chores!
