Kimberly's Crafty Spot: Whale of a time

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a card for Pink and Main stamps.

I was inspired by the all the twine colors that were sitting on my desk and the *new* Nesting Hexagon and Scallop border dies to create a Nautical themed card.

I started out by paper piecing the cute whale

from the Whale of a Time stamp set.

Then I die cut the hexagon and a hexagon frame using two of the layering hexagons. Next, I used the new Scallop dies to create some waves with vellum and blue card stocks. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a strip of paper to added to the front. For the background, I used some Nautical papers I received in a card kit layered with navy card stock on my red panel.
Finally I used some Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine and some Totally White Trendy Twine and added a star charm and a cute anchor paper clip to the front in opposite corners.

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Today, I am sharing a few cards I made for

the first Pink and Main Challenge

with my new Pink and Main stamps

I ordered for my Birthday.

I used the Whale of a Time stamp set for these cards.

I ended up making three cards, one hello standard card

and two 3x3 lunch box notes for my hubby and daughter.

I followed an older Mojo Monday sketch 383

for my first card.

Aren't these whales just adorable?

I love that they are just so versatile

and the sentiments are so fun!

I used the Splash 6x6 paper pad by Bella Blvd

for all my cards.

I stamped the wave stamp and the spout splashes

in Bashful Blue and Pool Party inks

from Stampin Up and added some clear

Wink of Stella pen and Glossy accents.

Then added the cute whale that I paper pieced.

I also added my sentiment with white ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.

This card I made for my hubby,

I enjoy leaving him some notes in his lunch box.

I stamped the "you" from the same set just masked

off the rest of the sentiment.

I left his cute tail loose for a little dimension and fun. Then added some white faux stitching around the edge with my white gel pen.

This little cutie is going to be sent in our daughter's lunch.

She loves getting little notes from me

in her lunch so this is perfect.

This little whale just looks so happy!

I die cut the waves from the Pink and Main Scallop Waves Die and inked the edges a bit.

Then I added the cute whale and embossed the sentiment using white ink and embossing powder.

I added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins in 4mm and 6mm Sparkling clear to look like water from the whale spout and to accent the sentiment. I also couldn't resist adding some chalk to her cheeks.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
