6 Stampin' Up! Otterly Adorable Card Ideas + Video Tutorials

We are getting ready for another Last Chance Clearance Rack update -- coming Tuesday, August 5th -- so today I wanted to highlight one of my favorite designer papers currently on the Last Chance List. It's discounted and now available for 50% off! Unfortunately, the coordinating stamp and die bundle has already sold out, but the designer paper includes many adorable otters that you can cut out for focal points on your card. In fact, ALL of the otters on these five cards are from the designer paper.

Whether you use the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper or other images, I hope these cards inspire to stamp today!

I designed the first card for a Sunday Stamping video. It's a Pop-Up Diorama Card. When you open the card, the inside opens into a a small diorama with a recessed window.  Try using other shapes or dies to make the diorama window bigger. See More Pop-Up Diorama Cards

Pop-Up Diorama Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 10-1/2" Pretty Peacock Cardstock, score at 3-1/2", 6-1/2", 7", and 10".
• 2" x 4-1/2" Otterly Adorable Designer Paper (front)
• 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" Basic White Cardstock (front)
• 2-1/2" x 5" Basic White Cardstock (inside)

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie to learn how to make this fun fold card.

Here's another fun fold card that I create with the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper. This fold was inspired by a card that I received for the Great, Big Card Swap from Anne Telecky. It uses a long piece of designer paper as the base for the card. You can create four card bases from one sheet of designer paper.

Card Measurements: 

• 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Pretty Peacock Cardstock 
• 4" x 12" Otterly Adorable Designer Paper, scored at 2-1/2" and 6-3/4" 
• 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" Basic White Cardstock (inside) 
• 1-3/4" x 4-1/4" Pretty Peacock Cardstock 
• 2-3/4" Basic White Die Cut Circle 
• 5/8" x 2-1/2" Basic Beige Cardstock

The last card was created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. They used the designer paper scene for the background of the card and then added a shaker frame on top. 

How to Make a Shaker Card:

• Use the Textured Notes Dies layered together to create a skinny frame or cut the center out of a rectangular piece of cardstock with your Paper Trimmer. 
• Attach a piece of window sheet behind the frame. 
• Add your shaker element to the center of the card. (This card uses the Riverside Irregular Pearls with the adhesive dot removed.)
• Then, use Adhesive Foam Strips to attach the frame to the card so that there is room for the elements to "shake".

VIDEO: 123 One Sheet Wonder Card Template with Stampin' Up! Floral Charm DSP

My 12 Days of Christmas in July video series kicked off last week with a One Sheet Wonder Template that will have you busting through your stash of designer paper to create cards for all occasions. Each day during this daily video series, I am unboxing a gift each day and sharing a new project featuring that gift. On Day 1, we unwrapped the Floral Charm Designer Paper. I love this gorgeous floral paper that was just released in the July 2025 Online Exclusives.

To create these five cards, I cut two 6" x 6" pieces of designer paper and mixed and matched the front and back sides to create these designs. I also added some detailed die cuts from the Charming Day Bundle and stamped a punched label with the sentiment and a small floral images.

Here's the template that I used. I call it the 123 template because the first cuts divide the paper into three segments that are 1", 2" and 3" wide.
