It's Birthday Time - Awesome Otters

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a fun card idea that I got from the 2022 Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  I CASEd the card because I loved it so much and thought it was super fun.  Here's a look at the card.  

It's Birthday Time no matter when you birth month is when you use the Awesome Otters Stamp Set to CASE the catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

As I mentioned I got the idea for this card from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  The card that I CASEd featured the party hat and sentiment from the Awesome Otters Stamp Set.  I will share a picture of that card that inspired this card in just a few minutes.  But first, let me go over what CASE means if you are not sure what I am talking about.  CASEing is a term used in paper crafting meaning to Copy and Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit.

Here's a look at the card that inspired my card today.  Instead of making a square card, I decided to make a standard A2 size card.  I kept the strips of cardstock that had been embossed with the little birthday party hat and colored.  Instead of using watercolor washes to color the strips of cardstock, I decided to use a few Stampin' Blends to do the same thing.  This is a little thicker because you have to be careful with your tips; otherwise, they will fray.  (Blends Used; Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack, Pool Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack, and Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack.)

Once I had the strips colored I trimmed them down a little.  I tried each strip to 1" x 4" and added them to the card front (made from just a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White Cardstock.)  The top and bottom strips were attached to the card front with Stampin' Seal adhesive.  I popped the middle strip with a few Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish off the card I stamped the party hat onto a scrap of Daffodil Delight Cardstock in Versamark Ink and used the White Embossing Powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and heat set it.  I then used my Paper Snips to cut it out.  I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of Basic White Cardstock and made a fishtail banner.  I attached the banner with Stampin' Dimensionals and the party hat with a Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  I then added the finishing touch of a few of the Seaside Spray (Blue) Pastel Pearls.
