Whale of a time Card for the Global Design Project

Hello! So, I’ve been trying to spend a little more time in my craft room recently, which I have to say, isn’t difficult as it’s been a much under used space in my house in 2020. Crafting has always been my escape, and I’ve really needed that recently, but have really struggled to find anything to create. So I turned to an old faithful; the Global Design Project, and used their challenge for this week as my starting point.

This week’s challenge is to use a card by one of their Design Team members as inspiration. The card was stunning, and I chose to take the card layout; basically using the card as a sketch for a new one.

Love card using Whale of a Time and Whale Done from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I’ve been really enjoying the current selection of Designer Series Papers from Stampin’ Up! and the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper is no exception. For all this paper is a little more ‘theme-y’ that I would normally select, the patterns actually translate really well in small sections and aren’t all too fish-y. There are two separate pieces of the Designer Series Paper on this card; a small strip, and a 2″ punched circle.

I’m also really enjoying adding textures to my projects at the moment, and this card has a panel of embossed card stock using the coordinating Embossing Folder, as well as a piece of ribbon. When I’m embossing white cardstock, I tend to use the Thick Whisper White, just because it is slightly heavier than the standard and therefore gives a really crisp embossed finish.

The stamped Whale comes from the matching Whale Done stamp set. To get the ombre coloured effect I inked the stamp in Pool Party ink, and then added a hint of Shaded Spruce ink using a sponge.

This card is finished with a die cut seaweed from the Smooth Sailing dies.

Having a Whale of a Time | Facebook Live Replay

Hello,

So, I’ve actually managed to get a Facebook Live typed up on the same night! This week I thought we would make a fun card using the Whale of a Time bundle. This suite is so cute, and features some fabulous colour combinations.

Paper Pumpkin…

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin UK Box of Sunshine

This week Stampin’ Up! launched a new Paper Pumpkin box here in the UK. These don’t come around all that often, but when they do they are super special!

Paper Pumpkin is a fun box of craftiness, which is available all year round in The States, but we only get them as and when. This box was created by Sara Douglass, the Stampin’ Up! CEO, and is full of sunshine! It features 8 exclusive cards, and a cute little stamp set too!

You can grab yours, while stocks last, in my store today!

Facebook Live…

This week’s Facebook Live uses the fun Whale of a Time suite. This suite includes the lovely Whale Done stamp set, coordinating punch, Brightly coloured Designer Series Paper, sequins and pretty ribbon.

For all this stamp set looks a bit theme-y I can see loads of occasions that the stamps, and papers, could work for. How about sending a cute Thanks card, or a thinking of you, Birthdays, or just because.

The whale stamp is inked in Pool Party, with a hint of Pretty Peacock added along the top edge with a sponge dauber. I love that this stamp has a coordinating punch too.
