Awesome Otters and Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper

Who would of thought I would ever want an Otter stamp set!  Our Sale-A-Bration brochure has a stamp set titled Awesome Otters.  It is pretty cute!  I wanted to design a card that used the otter set and another Sale-A-Bration item Simply Marbleous 6x6 designer series paper.  

To start I took a piece of the designer series paper (DSP) and cut it to 3" x 4".  

Use a marker to color the water on the stamp.  Stamp it on the bottom left side.  

For the otter I stamped in black on a scrap or Basic White and colored it in with Stampin Blends.  

Cut out the Otter and adhere it on top of the water.  

Adhere to  a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" piece of basic White.

Tie a ribbon around the left side. 

Stamp greeting on a scrap and punch out.  Punch the outer scalloped piece to layer the greeting. I Used the Double Oval punch https://www.stampinup.com/products/double-oval-punch?demoid=7320

Fold a 11" x 4 1/4" card base in half, and then folded the front flap back.  

Adhere the stamped layered pieces to the part that is folded back.  Only tape down the left side so you don't tape the card together.  

Finish by stamping on the inside on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of basic white and adhering it to the inside oft he card.  

I made a video showing how to make this card.  I show a sample where I just stamped the image in black on the front, and then colored in the water.  Which do you like best?

Driving By Free Stamp Set!

Sale-A-Bration has begun and there are some great choices for free items!  This card showcases two of the $50 options.  Driving By Stamp Set, and Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper.

Isn't the Sunshine and Rainbows designer series paper so cute?  I had a lot of 1/2" strips from mailing pieces to my team members, so I took them and trimmed them to 4".  I cut a piece of Basic White to 4" x 3 1/2.   To adhere the strips I put Adhesive down the left, middle and right side of the Basic White piece and then layered the strips on it.  It is so much fast than putting adhesive on each individual strip.  You can watch my video on how I did it.

 

 

Each time I adhered the strips it turned out a little different. Don't throw your scraps and give this look a try!

I stamped the Car on a 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of Basic White.  I used Stampin Blends to color it in.  I wanted to add color behind it, so I punched a Magenta Madness piece using our Label me Lovely punch.  To be able to see more of the punch I cut the punched piece in 1/2 and adhered it to the back of the stamped piece like this:

It is a way to make your punches more versatile. Driving By and Sunshine and Rainbows are free with a $50 purchase during Sale A Bration.  They are just 2 of the $50 options.  We also have 2 $100 options.
