Sale-a-bration Birthday fun card!

Is this little guy not the cutest? The Awesome Sea Otter Stamp Set is just adorable and paired with the Gentle Waves background stamp for a wave effect makes for a fun card. I also added some bark with the 3D Bark Embossing Folder. Pool Party and Crumb Cake Cardstock and ink pair together well and give me the feel of a beach, which sounds awesome right now! It seems to be about 30 below in Iowa and bonus it is going to be colder in the morning! I can hardly wait! If only I could stamp the day away and not leave my house! A girl can dream right! This cute Awesome Sea Otter is one of the FREE sets that you can choose from with a $50 order through the end of February. Sale-a-bration is a fun time of the year where you get to pick FREE exclusive items with every $50 or $100 order!

Wink of Stella added to the waves for a glistening effect along with Holiday Basic Rhinestones for some added sparkle!

This was a fun card to make and super simple! The textures add so much dimension to this card. The 3D Bark embossing folder is a fun one to use!

Basic Crumb Cake card cut and scored 5 1/2″x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with bone folder, cut a Pool Party 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ and a Basic White 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Stamp Basic White with Gentle Waves Stamp and Pool Party ink. Stick to the Pool Party Shape.

Cut Pool Party and Basic White Circle with the Layering Shapes and stamp Otter with Tuxedo Memento Black ink. Color in with Stampin Blends and use Wink of Stella on the waves. Use Stampin Seal on to stick circles together.

Cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Crumb Cake and emboss with the 3D Bark Embossing folder.
Stick the Stamped Wave piece to the embossed bark using Stampin Seal. Wrap Linen Thread around the bark layered with the stamped waves. Wrap twice and tie a bow. Place this on the card front using dimensionals. Next add the layered, colored circles to the card front and the Messages cut and stamped label using Pool Party ink to the card front with dimensionals. Place the Rhinestones on the card front with the Take Your Pick Tool. Add a 4″ X 5 1/4″ cut Basic White inside the card for you message.
