Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful week. We stayed until Magic Kingdom closed on Wednesday and had such a great time going on rides, walking around, eating some great food and of course seeing the fabulous firework show. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Epcot. The wine and food festival is going on, so we tried some great food. I was able to get my caramel apple from Germany that’s made with Werther’s Caramels. I’ve waited 4 1/2 years to get another one of these apples. After having one here, I don’t want any others. One of my husband’s co-workers happen to be here in Disney and we met up with him and his wife for a delicious dinner in Canada, at Le Cellier Steakhouse. Today we’re off to Universal Studios. This will be the 1st time we’ve ever gone there, so I can’t wait to see what’s there.

Today’s card is one that we made at our monthly stamping studio last Tuesday for our mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jaimie sent us all the measurements and talked us through the process of putting the card together. I decided I wanted to use some of the new Online Exclusive products that will be available starting November 5th. If you are interested in getting these products early, let me know, I’d be happy to talk to you about signing up to be a demonstrator and you can add them to your starter kit. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Otterly Adorable Suite Collection for my card today.

Start with 2 panels of Pretty Peacock card stock cut at 4 1/4″ X 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″. Cut 1 of the panels from the bottom right to the left side of the score line cutting on a diagonal. Cut the other panel from the bottom left to the right side of the score line cutting on a diagonal. Adhere the 2 panels together by adhering the solid card backs together using Liquid Glue.

Adhere 1 of the triangle panels of Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper to a Basic White triangle mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the right card front using Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Otterly Amazing Cling Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. From panels of Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock, cut 3 each of the greenery die from the Otterly Amazing Dies. Punch 2 circles using the 2″ Circle Punch from a panel of Pretty Peacock. Adhere the circle sentiment to the Pretty Peacock circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the greenery to the back of the Pretty Peacock circle using Glue Dots. Adhere the 2nd circle to the back of the layered sentiment using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered circle to the right card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording and adhere it next to the sentiment using a Glue Dot. Add a few Riverside Irregular Pearls to the sentiment.

Adhere another triangle panel of the Otterly Adorable DSP to a triangle Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to the left side of the card front using Liquid Glue. Using the Otterly Amazing Dies, cut the otter images from a panel of Otterly Adorable DSP. Adhere them to the left side panel using Liquid Glue.

For the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of a panel of Otterly Adorable DSP. Adhere the stamped panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base using Liquid Glue.

For the inside of the right & left sides, adhere 2 triangle panels of Otterly Adorable DSP to Basic White mats using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panels to the inside of the right & left sides using Liquid Glue.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the otter image from the Otterly Amazing stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Otterly Adorable DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
