Stampin’ Up! Whale of A Time

Stampin’ Up! Whale of A Time

Happy, rainy, soggy day!  

The card I am featuring today is created using the Whale of A Time. It is amazing how you get stuck on some stamp set or DSP and continue to make cards from the same set because you feel it is your favorite and you have so many others that you have barely made one card with it.  That is why I decided to use this today, I have maybe used it once and it will probably be one of the sets that gets retired soon.

My inspiration for today’s card is the Sunday Stamps Challenge.  Getting Blocked.  I like both these designs and could not resist creating for both designs.

Start with a card base of Pretty Peacock, add a panel of Whale of A Time DSP that has been matted on a Basic White card stock panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Cut three Basic White card stock panels for mats that will be adhered to the three panels cropped from Whale Of A Time DSP using one of the smaller Stitched Rectangle Dies. After being adhered to the Basic White mats, adhere to the background panel.  Fussy cut a turtle from a panel of the Whale Of A Time DSP and pop on the card front between two of the panels.

The greeting is stamped on a scrap of the Whale Of A Time DSP in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and then cropped using one of the small dies from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  It is matted on a scrap of Basic White card stock and popped over the panels on the card front.

Use a panel of the Whale Of A Time DSP that matches the card front for the inside sentiment panel.

The medium Basic White envelope gets the other half of the panel of Whale Of A Time DSP added to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.
