There’s No Otter Friend Like You with Jess

Posted by Jessica Frost-Ballas | Jul 25, 2018 | Uncategorized

Good morning! Jess here with a otter-filled shaker card using products from our July release! To start I stamped the otters and fish from Otter Friends with versamark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I watercolored them with my zig markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I also added a few accents with a white gel pen. Next I blended mermaid lagoon, blueprint sketch, and chipped sapphire distress inks onto a piece of bristol smooth cardstock. I die-cut the Gallery Frame #1 die with white cardstock and with the blended background. I reserved the white...

Hello there! It’s Audrey here today with a fun masculine card to share with you using the adorable new Fishin’ Hole stamp set and a few other goodies from the July release!

This panel was trimmed as it was adhered to a white notecard...

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Hello Bluebird Hippos on Holiday stamp set and coordinating dies. We are experiencing a heat wave in the U.K. and just looking at this scene makes me want to visit the seaside! I love to create cards with images that pop out of the scene. I think it brings the whole card together when the scene isn’t constrained. I began by die cutting a circle aperture in a piece of white card, the same size as my card base. On the card base, I masked off areas for some ink blending. The...

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a fun “farm” themed card feat the adorable Farmyard Littlebits set.

I cut out some stripes of white cardstock and I die cut them with one of the grassy borders included in the Grassy Knoll Die set. I colored them with Twisted Citron and Shabby...
