Hello and welcome to my blog! Today, my card features the fabulous Whale Done suite. I pulled this set off the shelf so that I could create something for the Global Design Project theme challenge #GDP287 this week. The theme is By The Sea, so there are lots of beach, sea and seashell cards to look at in the gallery.
I love making fun fold cards, and this is a new one to me. It's a twisted easel card and I was inspired by examples I'd seen by Emma Goddard and Kim Fee - their cards were totally different to each other, and mine is different again; smaller and uses different products!
Some of the products in this suite are retiring when the 2021 Annual Catalogue ends on 3rd May, and are now only available while stocks last - this applies to the embossing folder and the DSP that I have used. However, the stamps and the builder punch are carrying over into the new Annaul Catalogue, but the bundle discount will no longer apply.
The card base is made from Thick Basic White card that measures 10cm x 20cm and is scored at 10cm. For the twisted easel part there is an additional diagonal score line on the card front that extends from the fold line to the outside corner. The decorative part of the card is formed with another square, measuring 9.7cm x 9.7cm made from Balmy Blue card and decorated with DSP - remember to only apply glue to a triangle section, not the whole sqaure!
I have used the Layering Circles dies to desorate the front of the card and to act as the prop to stand the card up. The whale was punched from DSP, although it could have been stamped and punched instead, and sits on an embossed circle of Balmy Blue - I positioned the bubbles to look like they were escaping from the whale and added some Wink of Stella glitter too.
To add to illusion of water I added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and some of the clear Elegant Faceted gems. The sentiments are stamped in Pacific Point and there are also some tone on tone fishes and bubbles stamped on the smaller circle.
This was such a fun card to make and I will certainly be using this fun fold template again. I hope you have been inspired!
