Hippo Punch Card

How cute is this? It was the "Punch" card for my Technique Tuesday class. I got the hippo idea from LeeAnn Greff. We made pink and blue ones for both baby boys and girls. I just happen to be delivering a baby gift up north this weekend for a little girl – so it's the perfect card!

Check out these adorable little googlie eyes – I picked them up at the local craft store. I was looking for some googlie eyes that were bigger than the ones I had…just plain ones…but when I saw these – I couldn't resist!!! They are 7mm in size.

Here's a punch template if you'd like to make one of your own. I slipped a Dimensional in under the snout on the bottom end to raise up the tusks and make them pop!
