These Awesome Otters are going to be a fun stamp set for you to stamp with! You can even earn it as a free product during Sale-A-Bration this month and next with a $50 purchase! You get three otters doing different things. like this one doing a little swimming! On my Awesome Otters Hello Card he is swimming with the foliage around the pond! And wait until you see what you can get to go with the otters!
I wanted to use the swimming otter but I didn’t have quite the right thing to look like water so I placed him in the center of this Heart & Home Doily. Then I embossed some foliage on the Basic White to look like the weeds and grass around his swimming hole!
The card base is Misty Moonlight to match the blue doily. The doilies are part of the Heart & Home Suite and come in three colors (Basic Gray, Cinnamon Cider, and Misty Moonlight) plus white on the back of all of them! It also has a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock underneath the Basic White card front.
The swimming otter in the Awesome Otters Stamp Set is just stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink. The otter and the water are colored in with Stampin’ Blends. I couldn’t leave the background just plain white so I went for an interesting sky! I think I scribbled in a bit of Pale Papaya and then colored over lightly with Pool Party. You can play and experiment with colors you like or leave it plain! I added a double bow of Linen thread.
The Basic White cardstock is embossed with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders. Then I colored lightly over the leaves and berries with Stampin’ Blend markers. I adhered that layer to the front of the card on top of the Crumb Cake cardstock, then popped up the doily on Dimensionals. The greeting “Hello” is in the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set and stamped with Misty Moonlight ink on a strip of Basic White. It seems like just the right size to go with the otter! Then I added two white dots of the new Classic Matte Dots on each side of the greeting.
Remember, you can get the Awesome Otters Stamp Set FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase! And if you want to, you can purchase some Otter postage stamps at the post office! I ordered mine online and they came the other day! These are the Otters In Snow Stamps!

Thank you, Kylie! I know I didn’t get that set at first but after seeing other samples I had to have it! The Hippos now are going to be just like the otters!
Love this little otter in his swimming hole!
