For anyone in need of a fun lighthearted Happy Birthday! Because, everyone needs a baby card on hand. Who wouldn't feel better getting these hippos in the mail? Did you come to this workshop? It was so much fun!  I showed attendees the versatility of our Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper (DSP) . I just used the animals from the DSP along with some cardstock, embellishments and stamps I already had to make fun new designs. Below is a list of supplies that I used. It was fun to find was to utilize what I had around my DSP. I love larger characters that are supplied.  I was able to make these critters the focal point of the card.  Which one is your favorite?
