Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month our theme for the hop is Second Wind! It's intended as a reminder of the second month of the Sale-a-Bration promotion that's happening through February 28th. The theme could also be anything to do with wind, like sailing! One of the fun perks of Sale-a-Bration is earning FREE stuff for $50 you spend on an order in the US. I'm featuring one of those items today: the Awesome Otters Stamp Set.

My inspiration for this project was actually the white heart with the gold line, which came from last month's Paper Pumpkin Kit. I know Valentine's Day has already passed, but I just thought this was such a cute card. It would be awesome for a swim party, or a swim teacher, as well as the obvious...which would be for your favorite otter loving friend.
I am not usually a heart person OR a flower person, but I had to buy the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder bundle - it includes the 3D embossing folder, plus a set of dies...one of which (the heart I used) can actually be run through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the die inside to cut out the heart at the same time the folder embosses. It's just such a really cool idea.
The label shape that the sentiment is on, is from the set of dies that come with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder bundle. And the sentiment is from the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set. It's almost like that sentiment and label were made for each other, it's just the right size! I used the Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends to color in the rhinestones to match the water I colored around the otter, then I tied some Simply Elegant Trim (gold) in a bow to match the gold outline in the die cut heart. I've listed all the Stampin' Blends colors I used, in the Stampin' Supplies list below.

Gosh Kimberley, this card is so cute. The otters are adorable and using the PP hearts are wonderful. Thanks for hopping.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Valentine's Day card with that adorable little otter! Love the texture the embossing adds, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the little otter floating on it's back. And I totally love the hybrid embossing folders too. Great card, Kimberley!💕
