This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is a “Kids Valentine”. It has been on my agenda to make my grandkids’ Valentines this week! This card is one I created for a Scrap Paper Scissors card buffet class a couple weeks ago!
AWESOME OTTERS
It took me a while to warm up to this set, but after I stamped a couple cards, I’m loving it more and more! Awesome Otters is one of the FREE with purchase Sale-A-Bration stamp sets you can get thru the end of February!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Highland Heather cardstock is added on top.
- A 3 x 4 piece of Sweet Talk Designer Paper was added to the center.
- The 1 x 4 piece of Real Red was stamped with the greeting from Awesome Otters in Memento Black Ink, then added to the front.
- The tag was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Sweet Hearts Dies, then stamped with the otter from Awesome Otters in Memento Black Ink. He was colored with Light Gray Granite and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.
- A 3″ piece of Black & White Gingham Ribbon (carryover from the Holiday Mini) was stapled to the top of the tag and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A small heart cut from Real Red cardstock and cut with the Sweet Hearts Die was added to his hand with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the background.
