Slim Line Cards with the Whale Done Stamps are a big deal!

Slim line cards seem to be all the rage these days, and these slim line cards are kind of a big deal with the Whale Done stamp set and Whale of a Time patterned paper. All three cards have the same basic layout and the patterned paper and whale punch make them so easy to pull together. I love the Whale of a Time patterned paper because it is so bright and colorful. Sadly, it will be discontinued in just a few weeks, so you'll want to grab some before it's gone. Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Slim Line Thank You Card

I used Calypso Coral cardstock for the card base on this slim line thank you card. The layer under the Whale of a Time patterned paper is Mango Melody. The patterned paper on the bottom is embossed with the with the Seabed 3D embossing folder. I stamped the whale with Just Jade ink and punched it with the Whale Builder punch. The greeting is stamped with Just Jade ink as well and layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I tied the front with White Crinkled Seam Binding and added Whale of a Time sequins. 

This card is a Big Deal

This slim line card has a Just Jade card base and Granny Apple Green layer. I stamped the seaweed with Granny Apple Green ink, the coral with Pretty Peacock ink, and the seahorses with Just Jade ink. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink as well. The front panel is 3 1/4" x 2 1/8" and layered it on a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with the Stitched so Sweetly dies. Like the first card, I added a few Whale of a Time sequins for bling and some crinkled seam binding.

Thanks a Ton Card Idea

My last card has a Pretty Peacock card base with Pool Party layers. I cut the circle and the circle layer with the Layered Circle dies. The whale is punched from a piece of the Whale of a Time patterned paper. I punched the water from his blow spout from one of the water patterns in the patterned paper pack. I added a little Striped Blackberry ribbon. I love this ribbon because it is so easy to tie and makes beautiful bows! 

I embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on Blackberry Bliss cardstock and trimmed it with my paper snips. Finally, I added a few more of the Whale of the Time sequins for a little bling, because who doesn't love bling?
