Cute Walrus from Stampin’ Up!

July 5, 2019 By Michelle Last

That isn’t something you write everyday is it?  Cute Walrus :). He is darn cute though, he is from the We’ll Walrus Be Friends Stamp set available from my Stampin’ Up! shop.Walrus from Stampin Up

I decided to make a window aperture as if you could see a walrus through the port hole of a boat.

Stampin Up Walrus

How I made this card

  • Emboss a piece of Sahara Sand card stock with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.
  • Ink over the raised embossing with Gray Granite Ink to add a little depth.
  • Stamp the walrus in memento black ink and colour with Stampin’ Blends.
  • Punch out the walrus with a 2″ circle punch.
  • Die cut a circle from the Layering Circles Framelits in the double layer (with the plank embossing) for the front of the card.
  • Lay in place and draw a pencil line in the circle aperture and cut a circle using the same circle die.
  • Glue the double layer embossed piece to the card front, making sure you line up the apertures.
  • Punch a 2″ circle punch in Silver Foil and then a 2 1/4″ circle around it to create a silver ring.
  • Stick the silver ring around the aperture on the embossed planks piece.
  • Stick the Walrus in place on the inside of the card so that he fits inside the aperture.
  • Add silver metallic pearls or colour regular pearls with Stampin’ Blends and stick to the silver ring to mimic bolts.
  • Stamp and emboss a greeting and stick in place.
  • I used glossy accents to make the Walrus appear shiny/wet.

He is adorable isn’t he?  I have rather fallen for this set.

    Your card is SO cute, Michelle! What do you mean when you said “in the double layer”?
    ‘…Die cut a circle from the Layering Circles Framelits in the double layer (with the plank embossing) for the front of the card.’

      Hi Karen, I just meant that the Sahara Sand embossed piece of card stock was layered on a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock to create a mat and that you are to die cut a circle through both pieces of cardstock at the same time. I hope that makes sense x

Michelle Last - Card Making
How about some Cactus Cuties to brighten someone’s day? I love how the little step makes the plants stand out from the embossed brick background. I loved making this card and adding a sponge edge to the cactus for extra depth and dimension. All supplies are from my Stampin Up shop, let me know if I can help x

This wonderful group of Dutch Stampin’ Up demos This wonderful group of Dutch Stampin’ Up demos are truly wonderful. I’ve spent the last three days spending time with them, getting to know them better and meeting some for the first time. They are the most warm, friendly and welcoming bunch and it has been the best feeling to gather together in person with them after so long. Spending time with crafters, customers and demonstrators is the best part of my job and I have friends from all over the world. My heart is full ♥️ #ShareYourMoment #bestjobever #stampinup #michellelast #stampinupnederland #pinkies #stampinupdemonstrator #blessed
