I have been having some more fun with my free
Sale-a-bration products. I had already
shown one card that used the Awesome Otters stamp set but I wanted to show
another and while doing that show off this beautiful Simply Marbelous 6 x 6’
Designer Series Paper (another freebie with a qualifying $50 purchase, it has 49
sheets, 8 each of 6 double sided designs and I love it).
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Night of Navy cardstock that is cut to
4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 ½”. I added a
layer of Pool Party that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and a piece of the Simply Marbleous
Designer Series Paper that is 3 5/8 x 5 1/8”.
Next I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper from the You’re a Peach DSP
(you could use plain cardstock or any other DSP you want) to 1 ½ x 4” and on
the bottom left of it I stamped the sentiment “you are OTTERLY AWESOME” using
Night of Navy ink.
Then for my main focal point I stamped the cute little
Otter onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and
die cut it out using one of the Hippo and Friends Dies. I colored it in with Pool Party, Balmy Blue,
Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends and popped it up on the front of the
card using Dimensionals.
For the inside of the card, I used a trick I often use
when working with the 6 x 6” DSP’s. I
find that when I cut my paper to a 4 x 6” it leaves a nice 2” wide strip which
works great on lots of cards but when I take that 4 x 6” and I want to use it
on a card front I end up often cutting off between ¾ and 1” that is 4” wide,
perfect for the inside of the card. See
below how I added it to my card inside which is Basic White cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and
it really dresses it up.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
it. As always you can find the supplies
