For my critter today, I am showcasing the adorable Oxolotl stamp set and coordinating dies.

I have to admit, I didn’t have any idea what this cute critter look like in real life so for coloring purposes, I did a little Google search. This cute critter is called the Peter Pan of Salamanders and is racing for extinction. So sad! Here’s what it looks like:

Here’s how I made the card:

• stamp the images on some X-press It card stock and color the images in with alcohol markers
• use coordinating dies to cut them out.
• ink-blend an A2-size panel of Strathmore Bristol smooth white card stock with distress oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina and Vintage Photo.
• cut out some plastic packaging and add tape on all four sides.
• adhere 3 of them to the ink-blended panel and add some confetti sequins as the shaker element, then close the top. This created a flat shaker card.
• adhere the flat shaker onto an A2-size notecard.

• use a die from your stash to create the water scene. I colored some of the die-cuts with alcohol markers.
• adhere on the front panel with glue.
• add the cute critters on the card.
• finish the design by adding the sentiment.
