Party Hearty Otter #2

I loved the results of my last Party Otter card so much, I decided to try another version! This one still uses the cheerful Sunshine & Rainbows DSP that is free with a qualifying $50 SAB order, but this time I used the rectangles from the Picture This Dies! I also still used the stitched circles from the Give It a Whirl dies! Add a little ribbon, and wahlah, you have a same, but different card!!


Measurements:  

  • Pool Party: 1/2 sheet,  2 1/4" square
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2" square, scrap
  • Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (SAB) (N): 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" (stripe)
To Make This Card:

  • Cut rectangle "Picture This" die from both the DSP and White papers.  Set the rectangle pieces aside,as well as the DSP "frame".
  • Insert the DSP pieces into the White frame, flipping over the center one, to use the pattern on the other side.  Tape into place with Scotch Tape.
  • Wrap ribbon around this piece and tie bow so it ends up on the left side.
  • Mount this piece onto folded Pool Party Card with Dimensionals.
  • Cut 2 stitched scalloped circles from die Give It a Whirl dies, one in White and one in Pool Party.  Discard the Pool Party circle, and the White scalloped circle, the remaining 2 pieces will make one complete stitched, scalloped circle!
  • Stamp "otter" onto White circle.  Color in with Blends as shown. Insert into stitched scallop circle.  I scotch taped it to the back, creating one piece.
  • Mount onto card with Dimensionals. 
  • Stamp "party hat" onto scrap of white, color with Blends as shown and fussy cut. Add to "otter".

  • Stamp larger "otter" onto the large circle, and smaller "otter" onto the next larger one, as well as the sentiment.
  • Color the "otters" as desired.  Insert these into the corresponding opening. (I added a little "water" to the sentiment with Dk Pool Party Blend).
