"Happy Happy Hippo" Birthday Card

 Update: I won with this card Ch.# 101 at Paper Cutz Challenge. WOO WOO!!

(((( If some of my friends are looking for the awards I have for them go to July 19th)))).

This is a fun card to do. It is also my first shaped card. I used Birthday Bash, to get the shape for the card, and also for the ice cream eating "Happy Happy Hippo"!

The Circle is a die and I ran it through my cuttlebug with the tiny bubbles folder. Added some white yarn and green twine, colored brads, and google eyes. I am going to make another one and put it on a wobble, I should have this one.  No biggie I'll just add it to the next one. I always do at least 2 of each card I make anyway.

I will be putting it in some challenges, that I will list at the end of the post. Don't know which ones yet!  I hope you guys like it, Hugs, Pam


These are the challenges I am putting this card in:

Paper Playtime Ch. #50: Summer
Fantabulous Cricut Ch.#69: I Scream for Ice Cream
Die cut Dreams Ch. #94: Animal Antics(4 legged animals)
Scrapalicious USA Ch. #12: Anything Summer
Die Cuttin Divas Ch, #24: Shaped Die-Cut Cards
Craft Us Crazy Ch. #13: Anything Goes
Paper Cutz Ch. 101: Anything Goes

    My sweet friend, this is such an adorable card! I love how festive and happy you made it... sure to bring a smile to all who see it (including those in the blog world). :o) I love the googly eyes, and of course the twine and brads are such beautiful accents. The brads made me think of confetti, which is certainly fitting. :o) Excellent work as always, Pam. :o) Always a pleasure to see what you're up to!

    Hugs and blessings! :o)
