Nothing says happy birthday like candles, presents, and an adorable hippo popping in to say hello! Hey there, it’s Judy V here sharing a step-by-step for my purple hippo birthday card project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

Start the project by stamping and coloring the hippo and presents from Hippo Ho Ho Stamps.

For the sentiment I’m using one of the All Occasion Flashcards and foiling.

I cut a piece of purple card stock for my 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base. Cut silver glitter card stock to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Emboss a piece of white card stock and trim down to about half size the card base. Trim down a piece of polkadot paper to about half the card base size and edged with silver glitter cardstock.

Die cut the sentiment flashcard with a circle die. I die cut a slightly larger circle out of silver glitter card stock. Cut purple card stock with the Circle Peek A Boo Die.

I fussy cut the hippo and present images. Die cut candles using the Bundle of Wishes Layering Die. I cut multiple times and paper pieced. Glitter gel pen adds a little extra to the candle flames.

Add the glitter card stock, white panel with embossing and polkadot paper to the card base.

Layer the circle die cut and adhere to the card.


Add the hippo, presents and candles to complete the card design.
