A new Stampin’ Up!® January – June Mini Catalogue will launch very, very soon. As a demonstrator I have been fortunate to see it already AND order some of the new products, in a special pre-release, because I attended the recent OnStage Online event.
If you have been around for a while, you will be aware that with a Mini Catalogue comes a Sale-a-bration Brochure and all of it’s FREE products that you can earn.
During this recent OnStage Online pre-order, I was able to order some of the great new products and earn one of the Sale-a-bration items. I was so delighted when I realised it was the Awesome Otters Stamp Set. My daughters are mesmerised by otters (and, to be honest, I think they are super cute as well).
After seeing the stamp set, this is the card I immediately imagined making – three otters floating around, just chilling in the water.
I started by taking a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and applying several layers of Pacific Point ink, water colouring it in a variety of ways. I was pleased to create a variety of colour hues and colour movement.
The next step was to stamp and colour the three floating otters. I knew that they would look totally adorable floating across the ‘water’, holding their fish tightly to their bodies. The Stampin’ Blends were perfect for this colouring. After they were coloured, I fussy cut the otters,
When the floating otter layer was completed I attached it to a piece of Pacific Point cardstock and then wrapped some white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, and tied it in a bow.
Under the floating otters layer there is a piece of Basic White cardstock that has been randomly stamped with the same otter image using Pacific Point ink. This was then attached to the Pacific Point card base.
The terribly cute otter was also stamped on the card insert and the front of the envelope.
The only ‘bling’ that I added to this card was the Clear Wink of Stella I painted across the centre of the card front.
I am looking forward to making lots more fun projects using this super cute Awesome Otters Stamp Set.
Until next time, happy stamping.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. If you read back through my post you will see the products I have used for this project.
