Hippest Hippo Birthday
August 19, 2022
It is time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Grandparents Day is the festivity we are featuring on the Festive Friday Challenge. What is the Festive Friday Challenge? The Festive Friday Challenge is a bi-weekly challenge that has an Inspo List. What is an Inspo List? Every challenge has an Inspo list aka as an inspiration list, that has 10 items on it and those 10 items were inspired by a particular holiday, celebration or festivity. You need to use 3 items from the Inspo list on your project. You do not have to incorporate the festivity into your challenge but if you want to, you can. Here is a link to more information about how to participate in the challenge.
I chose to use from the list Fancy Fold, Plaid, and Hearts.
I used the 2022-24 In Color DSP in Sweet Sorbet to fulfill the Plaid. The hearts were cut using the 2022-24 In Color Glimmer Paper and the Hippo dies. I did also use a pearl on top of the umbrella. You will see the Fancy Fold in the next couple of pictures.
The hippo is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Smoky Slate CS. I did a little coloring using Smoky Slate and Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends. The umbrella was die cut using the Hippo dies. The opening was cut using a Stitched Rectangles die. I tied a bow using the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. The sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions stamp set.
Now you are starting to see the Fancy Fold. I guess it really isn't that fancy but it is a fun one. The DSP is another pattern in the 2022-24 In. Color DSP.
This is a full sheet of CS scored into quarters. The upper left quarter has been cut out. It is a simple card to make. I like how it unfolds. The DSP on this panel is again from the 2022-24 In Color DSP and the sentiment is from the Very Best Occasions.

Adorable, Sharon! This is an awesome fold...I am going to have to try it. Sweet Sorbet is such a lovely color, and I love how you mixed the plaid and the floral patterns together. This is such a wonderful card. Your coloring is perfect!
