Hippo Happiness Birthday Card For A Color Challenge Blog Hop

or starting here with me.

Either way, I hope you enjoy my project today 

and will follow along to see all of the creative projects 

shared by the group as we play with today's Color Challenge. 

Our Colors for today's hop are... drumroll please...

When I sat down to create my card for this challenge,

I was going in a completely different direction than the one I ended up in.

I was planning on using die-cut flowers around a more classic 

Happy Birthday greeting.

Imagine my surprise when my finish project looked like this: 

Does that ever happen to you?

What do you think of my final card?

Isn't this Hippo the Cutest?

I think this card makes me happier than those flowers would have.

Knit Sweater Brings Warm Christmas Wishes

 

Hello, and Welcome to my Blog!

If you have arrived from a team member's blog, 

I hope you are enjoying our Team Blog Hop.

If you are starting here, with me, please be sure to visit the other blogs along the hop.  I can't wait for you to see the other projects!

My card features the fun Knit Together Bundle

(current Mini Catalog tag 34).

The Knit Sweater Dies are so much fun!

You can design your very own Knit Sweater patterns

by laying-out your dies in the pattern you want.

How fun is that?!

I started by stamping a piece of Real Red Cardstock

with the Knit Together Background Stamp

in Real Red Ink - using my Stamparatus to ensure perfect stamping.

I then arranged my Knit Sweater Dies in a fun pattern

and Die-Cut my stamped panel.

I added the layers to a Basic White panel - cut the same size -

so that my die-cut "windows" showed the white below.

I mounted this onto a Basic Black card base.

Because the "Sweater" has a lot of detail,

I chose to keep my greeting layer simple.

I stamped a Warm greeting onto Basic White 

and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch.

This was added to my card with Dimensionals

over a bit of Gingham Ribbon ribbon tied in a festive bow.

I added a couple of the die-cut snowflakes for my embellishment.

What do you think?

I can't wait to create more warm and cozy cards

for my friends and family.

To create cards like this yourself,

order your supplies here 

or scroll down to the bottom of this post.

I have send out Thank You cards for every order

- and gifts for qualify order amounts.

I have more on that below. 

I now invite you to hop along and visit
