Fancy Folds – Wiper Card Technique featuring the Whale of a Time Suite

The Whale Of A Time suite really makes a splash with wonderful seascapes that just begs with possibilities and an ocean of inspiration! I have provided a gallery of ideas that this suite has inspired. The DSP, colors, and embellishments (seashell-shaped sequins) add so much!

However, if you like me — have time on your hands….might as well challenge yourself with a fast and easy “fancy folds” card that is very unique. The wiper feature pops up when you stretch the card out and delights any recipient — young or old!

The Whale of a Time Suite of products was chosen for this project because it makes card-making just that more simple! Just follow the pattern and the video tutorial for crafting success!!!

Take the SEABED EMBOSSING folder, ink with Misty Moonlight, and spritz with water before embossing. Recommend using Shimmery White Card Stock. Stamp and fussy-cut seaweed and coral and embellish with sequins. Take a piece of POOL PARTY Sheer ribbon and twist across the front to create the look of a wave.

I love how easy the Whale of a Time Suite of products creates fast and fun cards! Just at a piece of fussy cut coral and Sequins on the DSP!

Run the Shimmery White Cardstock with Misty Moonlight spritzed with water on the Seabed Embossing Folder. Take additional ink with an Aqua Painter (Calypso Coral, Magenta Madness and Granny Apple Green) on the damp cardstock to create more color. Embellish with fussy-cut seaweed and sequins!

Stamp 5.25″ x 4″ Whisper White card stock with seaweed and coral (Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral) stamps then emboss using the Seabed Embossing 3D Embossing folder to create a rich background for a piece of DSP (cut with Layering Rectangles), embellished with Sequins and Sheer Pool Party Ribbon.

I love Sea Turtles! Use the DSP to full advantage with this fast and easy card. Stamp the Sea Turtle on WW Card Stock with Granny Apple Green ink and shade with MOSSY MEADOW colored pencil for added depth.

This card was made of scraps! Just arrange odd pieces together and add a medallion of color using the stamps and Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness, Highland Heather, Bumble Bee, Pool Party, and Misty Moonlight inks. Just a hint of WINK OF STELLA provides just the right amount of underwater sparkle.

So, not crazy about using the SHIMMERY CRYSTAL EFFECTS over the seahorses…but the card is still pretty and worth a post!
