The Whale Done Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!
If you love the ocean, you’re going to love the Whale Done Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! It features all sorts of fun images as well as greetings that include love, friendship, and birthday. And best of all? There’s a coordinating Whale Punch!
I think this is such an adorable stamp set – I love how you can create all sorts of ocean-themed cards quickly and easily.
I started with a tried but true color combination:
I don’t usually use Blackberry Bliss for an ocean theme but it just seems right for the whale. And speaking of the whale, no fussy cutting on him – there’s a coordinating Whale Punch that made cutting him out super easy!
I wanted some grass to fill up the bottom of the card, but there wasn’t one in the set so I turned the octopus upside down and used it’s “legs” for the sea grass. Simple and effective! Here’s how I made this card:
Supplies Used on this Project

Project Instructions
- Cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”; fold at score line to create your base card.
- Cut a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock and adhere to inside of your card base.

Using the Jelly Fish stamp, turn it upside down and using Old Olive ink, stamp just the bottom part to look like sea grass. Stamp the fish pod 2 times using Crushed Curry ink (see card sample for placement.)
