Start with the Crushed Curry cardstock (cs) card base. Cut the two Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (DSP) panels. Glue the larger panel to the card front. Color two pieces of Black & White Gingham ribbon (7" each) with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend (be sure to use scrap paper to protect your surface as the Stampin' Blends bleed through). Wrap the smaller Celebrate Everything DSP panel with colored Black & White Gingham ribbon using Stampin' Seal to secure the ribbon ends to the back of the panel and then glue the wrapped panel along the left side of the card front.
Die cut a Basic White cs stitched circle and a Basic White cs stitched banner with the Stylish Shapes dies. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the stitched circle to the lower left side of the card front slightly overlapping the wrapped DSP panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Scary Cute stamp set in Memento Black ink on the stitched banner. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the stitched sentiment banner to the top left of the stitched circle.
Stamp the hippo image from the Hippest Hippos stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cs and die cut the image out with the Hippo dies. Color the image with Stampin' Blends and add Wink of Stella to the hippo's eyes and tutu for sparkle. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the die cut colored hippo to the stitched circle slightly overlapping the sentiment banner.
Punch out Crushed Curry cs stars with the Witch Hat Builder punch and use glue dots to add the stars to the card front on the stitched circle. Tie a small bow with the other piece of colored Black & White Gingham ribbon and use glue dots to attach the bow to the card front above the stitched circle overlapping the wrapped ribbon.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. I added a strip of DSP, stamped the sentiment, and added punched Crushed Curry cs stars to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
