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".

Turtle Friends Give It a Whirl

Here is another adorable Give It a Whirl card using the darling Turtle Friends bundle. This one uses the host Pattern Party paper. We will be doing this one in club, too.  Come join us.  Just please RSVP, so I have a kit for you.  Kits for in person only.


Measurements:  

  • Mango Melody: 1/2 sheet
  • Thick Basic White: 3 3/4" square
  • Basic White: scraps (scalloped circle), turtle
  • Pattern Play DSP (host) (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (green), 1 1/4" x 3 3/4" (stripe)
To Make This Card

  • Cut "whirly" base from "leafy" DSP using dies for this purpose, along with circle "window" also included!
  • Cut interactive "wheel" from Thick Basic White.
  • Place mini brad through the hole in the "whirly" base and into the "wheel". Open prongs, but not too tightly.
  • Place scallop circle around circle opening, hiding brad.
  • Line up the "creases" of the wheel in the window opening. Stamp images or sentiments of your choice in the 3 spots on the wheel. I stamped mine in Memento black, so I could color with Blends. "Give it a Whirl" to see how it looks!!
  • Stamp "turle" in Memento Black ink onto scrap of Basic White. Stamp the "shell detail" in Granny Apple Green ink, color the turtle with Lt Granny Apple Blend, and "tail" and "nails with the Dk Granny Apple Blend. Now, punch out with corresponding punch.
  • Attach stripe DSP to card front, as well as popped up "turtle.
  • Now you need to attach this to your card, using a variety of "dimensionals".  Regular, Adhesive Strips, and Adhesive Sheets!!  You want to raise up the entire piece so the "wheel" will turn, and the front will be "supported", but not so close to the wheel as it won't turn! I use only 1 layer of Dimensionals for mine, some demos use 2 - the choice is yours!
  • Now finish with scattered iridescent sequins and a 5mm googlie eye on the turtle.
