Happy Tails Archives - HIPPOFROG Designs

As the previous week’s Card & Cuppa project was dog related, I decided to even things up. Last week’s card was a cat project made using the Nine Lives Stamp Set.

Nine Lives. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

For this cute ginger feline, I’ve used a Soft Suede outline and Pumpkin Pie stripes. It’s then cut out using the co-ordinating Cat Punch.

The sentiment is the same as the previous week and is from the Happy Tails Stamp Set.

For the food bowl, mouse and fish, I’ve used Smoky Slate. They are then coloured using the Watercolor Pencils in Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral (mouse ears). Meow is then stamped several times.

A Scallop Circle and Circle are punched for the layers.

Everything is then assembled onto a Thick Whisper White basecard.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was all about the Happy Tails Stamp Set and matching punch.

Happy Tails Card & Cuppa Project. Designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs.

This cute set combines Mint Macaron and Early Espresso for the layers and main stamping, with Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry for the dog.

A trail of paw prints is stamped across the card and a sentiment cut with the Classic Label Punch and the ‘Ruff! Ruff!’ is added.

The kennel (or dog house!) is stamped off to create a slightly toned down effect. This is layered onto a Mint Macaron Circle.

For the dog, the attendees were given a choice of colours to stamp on. I chose So Saffron and used a stamp from the set to give some spots. Isn’t the patch across they eye cute?

We then added the collar before punching the shape out using the matching Dog Builder Punch.

Finally, the dog is attached using Dimensionals.

This Happy Tails Stamp Set has 16 stamps including a bone, spots to make a Dalmation-type dog, sympathy message and more. All for just £16, with the Punch and extra £17.

To even things up, I think next week’s class will be cat related 🙂
