Fluke Shot Papercut Scene

This summer, while up in Nova Scotia, Canada, I took a whale watch and we saw a whole bunch of humpback whales. They can be identified by the markings on their tails, or flukes. This isn’t a specific whale, but it represents what the markings can look like.

As part of the 2026 Summer Camp Nerd Games, I joined the Arts & Crafts Club and the supply item we had to use for July was a round cookie cutter, so I used it for my frame!

Whales are so cool! I love the way you positioned the different layers to give the scene depth.

This is so cool! It’s instantly recognizable as a whale, and what a neat way to use a cookie cutter (of all things).

Oh my! A cookie cutter as a shadowbox for a layered paper scene is brilliant! And your fluke is a great way to memorialize your whale watching trip!

Brillaint! I love the look you achieved!

Fantastic! The dimension is awesome! Love this shadowbox idea.

Oh that’s so adorable!
