Hippo Happiness Bundle "Baby Shower Card"

This is one of my favorites in my Hippo Happiness Series!  Such a fun card for a Baby Shower!  I've been needing baby shower cards so decided this Bundle would be perfect to create a few.  I did this card in both Blue and Pink and they both came out looking adorable!  I'll have to admit I did need to use a ruler for this card to get the pearls on the drawers straight. So let take a look at the instructions!

First Here's a video link that shows step by step instructions for this card and the other 2 in this series!  This one starts in the video at the 22:14 mark.

Hippo Happines "Simple Stamping"

This is my first in the Hippo Happiness Series!  For this card I did simple stamping!  The stamping makes this look like designer series paper but it's not it's all made by stamping!  I used the Hippo Happiness Stamp set and the following ink colors.  Pacific Point, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Daffodil Delight and Black Memento Ink.  

This set is  2-step stamping set which means you will have 2 stamps for each image.  A detailed stamp and solid stamp.  You can get the effect 2 different ways!  One is to use different colors for the detailed and solid stamps.                                    

The other way is to use the same color but to stamp off the solid stamp after you have inked it up and then stamp over the other image. 

Here's a video with all three cards in this series!  Hope you enjoy!
