New – Otterly Adorable Suite Collection

Otterly Adorable Suite Collection. This is one of the many new online exclusives being released on 4 November which is tomorrow. I love watching otters whether it is on some nature program or in real life. Sadly not in their natural habit, but in a zoo or nature reserve.

Otterly Amazing Dies

One of the dies in the Otterly Amazing die set cuts slots in the paper so you can partially insert the otter inside the slot so that it appears partially submerged.

My version of Stampin’ Up!’s sample

I took my inspiration from the sample Stampin’ Up! provided and tweaked it a little to make it my own, so here’s my version.

Incidentallly, there are also four dies which will die cut the otters from 2 sheets of the Otterly Adorable 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper pack. If you don’t wish to have the dies, the images can just as easily be fussy cut. The dies corresponds with the stamp set so you can stamp your own and colour them with whatever medium you wish.
