Unicorn Card using Hippo Happiness

Here is a fun, animated like Unicorn card using the Hippo Happiness stamp set and Hippo & Friends Dies by ©Stampin' UP! I paired this playful unicorn with the new Rainbow Glimmer paper and the sequins from a Whale of a Time suite! This stamp set is a million dollar sales achiever set designed by the demonstrator, Robyn Cardon. You have probably seen her videos or know her name! She has been very successful in her Stampin' UP! business and I've attended a couple of her Demo only parties!

These dies not only cut out the stamped images but have these amazing stitched shapes that are easy to layer! 

Here you can see the stitching around this shape and that AMAZING Rainbow Glimmer Paper! 

This stamp set is a multi-step stamp set. It will take you 3 stamps to make the one image. Which requires multi-colors or using the "stamp off" technique. It can be tricky to line up just right and I suggest either always stamping on a piece of paper then die cutting it out (so not directly on to your card) OR to practice lots on scrap paper to get a good feel of how to line them up just right.

Steps

1. Cut and prep all of your paper and cut out the Bermuda Bay stitched shape and Rainbow Glimmer.
2. Stamp you unicorn on a scrap of Whisper White and use die to cut it out. Also, cut out the horn using the gold foil. To stamp unicorn use the dark (without a nose) image first and then stamp off the tail, nose, and hair unicorn stamp then line up over your first stamped image. Use the Memento ink for the unicorn's face. Use wink of stella all over the dark unicorn (careful not to let the ink run too much and not over his memento eyes, nose, and mouth). 
3. Stamp the saying on a scrap of Bermuda Bay in Memento Ink and just out with your paper snips.
4. Stamp your stars in Bermuda Bay going across your Whisper White center.*Flip over your stitched Bermuda Bay to give you a reference of where to stamp.
5. Glue everything on with liquid glue (sequins and layers) but use dimensionals for your unicorn. 

*You can switch out colors of unicorn and layers depending on what colors are in your rainbow glimmer paper!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!
