Whale Done Swap - Sea Turtles, Seahorses and Whales


 

Are you a paper collector? This Whale of Time Designer Series Paper pack is so fun and colorful I almost wanted to save it! Once I made those first cuts I had to use it all! I couldn't decide which piece was my favorite. I used a little of each to make these fun fold swaps. 

You can create one card using two matching pieces of the Whale of Time 6" x 6" DSP. I like to mix and match the front and back of the pieces. The Whale of Time Suite is on page 94 of the big Stampin' Up! catalog which runs through May 3, 2021. You can purchase the entire collection using item number 154126. The suite collection comes with the Whale Done stamp set, Whale Builder Punch, sequins, Whale of Time DSP, Seabed Embossing Folder and the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. 

This card is really easy to put together once you have the measurements: 

Balmy Blue Cardstock Base: Cut 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" and score at 3". Cut your DSP pieces 5-1/4" x 4" for the inside and 2-3/4" x 4" for the outside. 

Just Jade Cardstock (inside flap): Cut at 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" and score at 2-3/4". Cut two pieces of DSP 2-1/2" wide x 2-1/2" tall (you will want to pay attention to this with your pattern). Cut one piece of Basic White 2-1/2" wide x 2-1/2" tall. Stamp the sentiment on this piece before attaching. Fold this piece like a backward card and attach the DSP. Attach the Pool Party Ribbon to the card. This ribbon is so sheer it matches the Balmy Blue cardstock. 

The whale is punched out of a third piece of DSP. You could also stamp it and punch it out as well. The little water splats are punched out with the Whale Builder punch in Just Jade. I added some glue with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen and let dry so that it would look wet. 

I think this seahorse pattern is my favorite! I love the little matching stamp that I used with the sentiment inside. 

Here are some more samples I created. This little sea turtle pattern is so bright and amazing. This would make great paper for a beach trip mini album. 

Which pattern is your favorite? Please leave a comment below. 

You can see all the coordinating colors here: Calypso Coral, Bumble Bee, Granny Apple Green, Just Jade, Pool Party, Pacific Point and Blackberry Bliss. I think it also looks great with the Balmy Blue.
