Whale Done Birthday Card

I participated in a challenge this week to make a card using any two of Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and Balmy Blue.

As I love all shades of blue I quickly grabbed my Whale Done stamp set and matching DSP!

To create this fun fold I cut a sheet of A4 Balmy Blue cardstock in half lengthways and scored it at 74mm and 111mm from each end. I then folded it as shown in the picture. I cut two pieces of DSP for the front panels measuring 68x99mm and lightly stamped some seaweed across it in Basic Gray. I cut a piece of white cardstock the same size for the centre panel and stamped the sentiment and fish before adhering it inside the card.

I stamped the first whale in Pacific Point and punched it out with the coordinating punch. To create a whale facing the other direction, I stamped it in Coastal Cabana onto a gel press then pressed the white cardstock onto the gel press to transfer the image. 

Finally I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point and adhered it to the front as shown.

This card will be going to my nephew who turns 8 next week 😍

Whale Done card

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Whale Done bundle from the current Stampin' Up annual catalogue. I bought this stamp set because it comes with a co-ordinating punch and I just LOVE punches for cutting out. 

This card uses the stamp set, punch and DSP from the bundle and really couldn't be easier to make. I used half a sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock to make the card base, layered with a piece of Whisper White and topped with some of the DSP (Design Series Paper).

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the DSP using Pacific Point. I often forget that I can stamp straight onto DSP but it worked perfectly with this image.

I punched the whale shape from another piece of the DSP and the little splash shapes from a piece of Pool Party. I adhered the whale to the front of the card using dimensionals to make it look like he was swimming.

In all, this card took less than ten minutes to put together. Perfect for those last minute emergencies!
