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)
• 2" x 3" Otterly Adorable Designer Paper (inside)
• 1/2" x 3" Old Olive 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

Here are more ideas using the Otterly Adorable Designer Paper!

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".

Do you have the Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Suite? Originally released in the January-April 2025  Mini Catalog, this floral suite is perfect for making cards to celebrate birthdays and special occasions all year long!

 I used the number dies in the coordinating Birthday Celebrations bundle to customize this card for my sister's milestone birthday coming up this fall. The number dies are also great for creating graduation cards and New Year's cards since you can customize the year!

This card opens with a top fold and then a gate fold inside. There are lots of layers and spaces to customize with the die cuts and coordinating stamp images.

Here are the card measurements in case you'd like to create this card at home using your own supplies:
