Today I’m sharing a peekaboo card I made with products from the Whale of a Time Suite. When the card is closed, you see a whale peeking through a round window. When you open it, the whale disappears and the sentiment is in the window. I was surprised at how easy this was to put together. To me, the hardest part about a peekaboo card is getting the round holes to line up just right. I used the Whale Done Bundle (Whale Done stamp set and Whale Builder Punch) and Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper.

Here’s what I made:

When the card is folded flat, no Calypso Coral will show through the window. I propped it up for the photo, so it completely flat.

The sentiment is starting to show as the card is opened and the sentiment panel slides to the right.

Fully open, the whale is covered by the sentiment.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• first piece of Calypso Coral card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• second piece of Calypso Coral CS cut to 8-1/4″ x 4-1/4″, then scored at 5-1/2″
• third piece of Calypso Coral CS cut to 5-3/4″ x 4-1/4″, then scored at 5-1/2″
• Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ for front of card
• 2 pieces of DSP cut to about 3″ x 3″ (light blue water)

Stamped with the Whale Done stamp set:

• sentiment in Pacific Point ink onto one of the 3″ DSP pieces
• tiny fish in Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce inks onto the large DSP layer
• coral and seaweed in Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce inks onto the inside of the card front

Cut using the Layering Circle Dies:

• using the 4th largest plain circle die, cut the large DSP layer, larger part of the 8-1/4″ Calypso Coral CS, and both halves of the 8-1/2″ Calypso Coral CS, making sure they all line up with each other

Cut using the Whale Builder Punch:

• whale from a piece of DSP

Assembled the peekaboo card:

• burnished the folds in the three Calypso Coral CS pieces with a Bone Folder
• large DSP layer glued onto the larger side of the 8-1/4″ Calypso Coral CS, lining up the die cut holes
• one half of the 8-1/2″ Calypso Coral CS glued onto the back of the 8-1/4″ Calypso Coral CS, lining up the die cut holes
• 1/4″ flap of the 5-3/4″ Calypso Coral CS glued onto the back of the loose end (opposite the end glued onto the 8-1/2″ piece)
• small DSP layer with sentiment glued onto the smaller side of the 8-1/4″ Calypso Coral CS, so it will show through the holes when the card is closed
• other small DSP layer glued onto the 5-3/4″ Calypso Coral CS so it will show through the holes
• whale glued onto the small DSP layer so it shows through the holes
• fold as shown in the photos

This gives you an idea of how the pieces are put together. See the diagram below.
