Whale Hello, Whale Done!

Whale, Hello! – it’s a little pun on this new “Celebration of Tags” photopolymer stamp set in the Annual Catalogue.

Remember the bundle called Tags Tags Tags with the Trio of Tags Dies last year? It carried over to the current Annual Catalogue on page 63 for the Stamp set and on page 183 for the Dies.

I shared a fancy fold card Sunday before last using the Whale Done Bundle. Then I discovered more references to those Zany Zebras and Whale Done in this gorgeous stamp set. The seed was planted to combine the two and this is the result.

I made it a little smaller than my usual cards. Here are the deets.

There’s a reason behind the numerous layers. It was so that I could stretch the 6″x 6″ (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm) DSP to cover two cards instead of one. Had I made the card the normal size, I would end up with only enough to cover one card. Do watch the video to see how it all came together.

Two New Countdown Series

I’m so excited – next week I begin my 6 week countdown to Halloween Series on 6 consecutive Wednesdays.

Even more exciting, is my 12 week countdown to Christmas which will start the same week on 12 consecutive Fridays. Do you know how hard it has been not to create anything remotely Christmas during August and part of September? It’s been a challenge to try not to create anything to do with Christmas yet still link it to the newly launched August-December 2020 mini which is FULL of Christmas/Fall/Halloween content!

Here’s the supply list for today’s card:
