Oh, Whale, for Father’s Day

DSC07372I love this cute little whale!  I saw a great Z-Card fold tutorial incorporating framelits and needed to give it a try.  The card technique is called a double swing card, and I found the instructions on Tami White’s blog here.

I used the print poetry paper, and on the other side used a retired greeting set for the Father’s day greeting.

As you may know, Greeting card kids is not a new set, but this would be the very first time my set has seen ink! The rest of the card does have new items featured on it though, The Be of Good Cheer designer paper, the Gumball Green Stitched satin ribbon and Gumball green ink!

Tricky Little Owl

Trick or Treat! This is a cutie owl from the new Holiday Mini exclusive hostess set called Warmest of Wishes.  I used a new to me technique that may or may not be called Clear Block Stamping which probably isn’t the name, but basically you ink up your block and stamp it directly on the paper for a neat background effect.

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Basic Black

Accessories: Clear Blocks, mat pack, basic black 1/8 taffeta ribbon
