Have a Whaley Good Time Whale card

Today's fun 5" x 5" card comes from two older cartridges:  Cricut Create A Critter for the whale and Going Places for the ocean.  What's handy about that ocean is that I was able to use the blue cut out pieces for this card below on Everyday Cricut today:
As you can see, I was feeling a bit nautical today in my "under the sea" animal choices. LOL!
I popped up the red square a bit to some dimension.
It's hard to find a good sentiment to go with a whale.  Enter the Close to My Heart "Under the Sea" stamp collection ($13.95). Take a look below:

The paper on this card is from the Close to My Heart Dotty for You paper pack - take a look below.  Remember, on the backs of the papers shown below are the dotted patterns in grey, yellow, orange, green, blue, tulip, etc.

    Such a cute card! I also appreciate that you bring in the older cartridges. We have them, and it's great to see ideas using them instead of always making us want to buy more.

    My favorite is the Pennants. I use them on cards and pages and these are so much easier to cut!!
    I can't believe there is a Wildcard 2. That's really cool!
    Thanks for keeping us up to date on cartridges and inspired to use them.
