Hippo Birdie Birthday Card ~ La-La Land Crafts

Hey all! Happy Friday! Today is Hippo Birdie Clear Stamp day for me. I love this stamp set with it’s adorable little critters. I know I used it for a birthday card a couple of weeks ago. However, I had to use it again to feature the rest of the gang. So for this card, I decided to make a slimline with the Rhino, Elephant, and the Duck.

It was a lot of fun because I actually colored these three in my Copic Academy classes, now everyone gets to see how I used them.

I couldn’t find a blue-green cardstock to match the new Celebrate Paper Pack sheet that I was using for the Happy Stitched Die to cut out for the Three Candles Die. But! What I did notice is that the stripes on the bit that I was using was going to fit behind the candle perfectly. So I glued the 2 of the Three Candles Die that I wanted to use onto the Celebrate Paper Pack where I wanted them and just cut them out. It was so much easier and more fun!

The Happy Stitched Die to get the foam behind it. I used adhesive back foam sheets, ran them through my Creative Station Lite, making it double-sided adhesive foam. After I got that done, I attached the Celebrate Paper Pack to the foam sheet and cut out the Happy Stitched Die. I love doing that with all the stitched words.

I also added the birthday from the Happy Birthday Die so that I could have another fun font with the sentiment of Happy Birthday.

The last thing I added was some texture with the new Celebration Layering Stencils. I used the stars to add a bit of pizzazz to a cute and fun card.

Rhino & Elephant: C4, 5, 6, 7, 8, R01
Duck: Y11, 13, 15
