Gray Granite: Otterly Amazing cards

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 29 – Gray Granite

Today I feature the Otterly Amazing bundle and the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (new to the Online Exclusives section of the store).

OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION164939
OTTERLY ADORABLE SUITE COLLECTION 164939

As you can see above, there are some adorable full page 12 x 12 patterned sheets and I have cut one up to create this first card, a simple single layer card. The card base is Gray Granite and then I inked the edges of the patterned paper with my Gray Granite ink pad, added Clear Emboss Powder and melted with my heat tool. This adds a lovely soft border without adding extra cardstock bulk to my card. A piece of the soft Loft Lagoon Soft Cording is wrapped around and tied in a bow.

Can you see the glisten of the water? I used an old Water Painter and some Versamark refill ink to paint over the water before adding Clear Emboss Powder then melted with my heat tool. This added a bit of wow to a simple single layer card.

Card 2 is for the casual crafter, more of a stepped up card but not difficult to create. Using the patterned papers really helped creating the scene, and the otters are diecut from the papers – how cool is that?! The extra plant life is cut from Pretty Peacock and Garden Green cardstock and the rocks from Gray Granite.

Here is a close up of the sentiment that is heat embossed with White WOW Emboss powder. I have used a white gelly roll pen to add some detail to the rocks and around the sentiment. Some Riverside Irregular Pearls were added.

The cup is stamped off once in Real Red then onto Basic White card. The cup is coloured using the Real Red dark & light Blends Markers and the light Poppy Parade Blends Marker. I added some extra shading with black & white pencils (the black isn’t as dark IRL as the photo shows, eek). The coffee is stamped in Pecan Pie ink.

On my Thick Basic White card base, I’ve added some pieces of the A Little Latte DSP, a strip of Pecan Pie card with the Natural Polka Dot Trim and a Real Red banner. A square is diecut using the Stylish Shapes dies in Early Espresso card, and three Swirl Dots are added.

On the inside, I love how this came together, with the plunger (3 x dies) in Real Red, Pecan Pie and Vellum. Another strip of the coffee splattered DSP too!

Highland Heather: Meandering Meadows 3 Panel card & Window card

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining  the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 29 – Highland Heather

Today’s card was inspired by Leslie Kilby in the UK. I also just received the gorgeous Meadering Meadows DSP. I thought it was perfect for this card to create the scene. The birds are stamped using the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

3 Panel card Meandering Meadows DSP Fluffiest Friends by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023 Highland Heather

The little rabbit on the front is from the Fluffiest Friends Bundle. It is holding a cupcake, but I covered the cupcake up with a little flower that I stamped and fussy cut to glue over the top. I felt it was better suited for this pretty floral scene. She is stamped in Black Memento ink, then Versamark ink using my Stamparatus, then added Clear Emboss Powder and heat set it. I used Watercolor Pencils to colour her and the Blender Pen to soften & spread the colour. The flower was coloured using Highland Heather Blends Combo Markers.

To further decorate the second panel, I just added a dragonfly & bird.

On the third panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment, flower and border using the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set.

Card 2

While I had all these products out, I decided to make another card. Using the Fluffiest Friends Bundle (Online Exclusives), I used the die to cut the ‘window’ from a piece of Highland Heather card, 13.5cm x 9.5cm.  I dry embossed it with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, then used a blending brush with White Craft ink to add some highlights around the edges.

I cut a piece of the Meandering Meadows DSP and attached it to the card front. The front panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals so it appears like a window. The cat is stamped the same way as the rabbit above. To colour it, I used Blends Combo Markers (Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake, SU300).

On the inside, I added a strip of DSP and a stamped sentiment (Heartfelt Hexagon) on Basic White cardstock.
