Stampin’ Up Awesome Otters Childrens Valentine
Hello Everyone – my Valentine share today is made for the kids in your life and the Stampin’ Up Awesome Otters Childrens Valentine is one idea.
My grandkids love getting cards from me. That means I am always looking for stamp sets I can use for their cards. The Awesome Otters Sale-a-bration stamp set is a great set for them. Jake is into animals and I decided to use one of the images in the set for his card.
The Awesome Otters Sale-a-bration stamp set has some great images. The best part is you can get it free with a qualifying order.
That cute otter with the outstretched arms was perfect for what I wanted to do! I wanted him in the water peeking out so I had to cut the paper and insert the otter in the opening. The Metallic Mesh ribbon is perfect for adding some sparkle to the water. All it needed was some faux sea glass and a sentiment.
I used the same otter for the inside of the card and envelope. I colored it using Blender Pens and ink on a block. Here is what I did.
Here is a close up of the otter with the Metallic Mesh ribbon and faux sea glass. Isn’t he just the cutest? You can also see how I cut the pattern paper to insert that cute otter into it.
We have a number of stamp sets that would make great kids Valentines. You could easily swap out the sentiment for Happy Valentines Day on this idea. And this adorable chick would make another great idea.

- use the craft knife to cut a wavy line in the pattern paper – see close up above
