No tools Needed Card!

Posted by Deena on March 15, 2008

Hello all!

Hip-hippo-ray!Hip Hippo Ray!

Yesterday’s SCS limited supply challenge was simple: No tools! So I had to put away my cuttlebug, crop a dile, paper piercer, and punches and come up with a card!

I needed yet another baby card…not for someone I know personally this time, just to fill an order. I received a great big Stampin’ Up order yesterday, with this cute set called Pun Fun in it. So I had to use it of course! It is a wonderful set for quick cards and has so many versatile images, especially if you mount the sentiments separately, which I did. I mounted the sentiment portion of the stamp on the side of the same wood block. This way you can choose to use it or not, it won’t be attached to the image.


The hippo is stamped dtp (direct to decorative paper) and outlined in blue with a gel writer pen. The balloon and the ribbon are coloured in with glitter gel writers. I added dots around the mat layer.

The base Very Vanilla card stock is layered with Crate Paper dp from the Baby Bee collection. I added Crate Paper brand ribbon and dollar store buttons for embellishment .

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone!
