How many Hippo’s can you fit inside a Pizza Box? I managed to squeeze 3 of them in a Mini Pizza Box.
When I saw the hippo design in the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper pack (DSP) I knew I had to buy some Happy Hippo’s and make a couple of boxes for them. These cute little Pizza boxes are from Stampin’ Up! and you get 8 in a pack. They are easy to put together and they are food safe too.
The boxes measure 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ x 1″ (8.9 x 8.9 x 2.5 cm) and not only are they great for edible treats they are perfectly sized for 3″ x 3″ cards and envelopes.
On the back of the Stampin’ Up! DSP packs you will find a list of all the colours that have been used which makes it really easy to coordinate the cardstock, ink, ribbon/twine and embellishments. The main colours in this design are Pool Party and Basic Gray.
After cutting and adding the layers I made a pretty little bow with some Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon, added a sentiment and my box was done.
You can find a list of all the products I used and all the measurements at the bottom of this post.
What do you think of my little Hippo Pizza box? Has it inspired you to get crafty and make some?
Talking of getting crafty I’m supposed to be making Save The Date cards but I can’t stop playing with the Blended Seasons bundle, it was delivered on Friday and I have been having a lot of fun with it. I will share some of my projects soon.
Have yourself some crafting fun.

*When designing a project or when I CASE (Copy And Share Everything) someone’s project I ALWAYS make it with some cheap cardstock first. When typing up lots of measurements mistakes can be made, we are human after all. It doesn’t help that I have Dyscalculia. When making any project I recommend making it first with the cheap stuff.*
