I love fun cards! And this Turtle-y Awesome stamp bundle, matching DSP, etc. is just Totally Fun! When it was first shown last year at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Event, I thought it was just for children. But the more it was shown I was in love. It made me Smile! And that is what I hope my card making does for you as it does for me. So I have brought it forward once again.
Isn’t it Smile worthy???
Turtle-y Awesome
All of the stamped images are from the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set. There are matching Dies, but I did not need them for this project. I stamped the sentiment and the little cake and fussy cut them. Actually I believe there is a Die for the cake, but it was quick to fussy cut as I was going along.
The cake is colored using Stampin’ Blends. The candles are the Darling Duckling of the paper, and the decoration is Flirty Flamingo. There was not a lot of decoration needed as the DSP is quite busy with the partying turtles running around.
Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper
The name of the DSP fits perfectly. It is so Turtle-y Cute! All of the pages have turtles in an activity on one side and then fun, but more neutral, designs on the reverse. Since this is a birthday card I opted for the turtles partying with ice cream, cake, and balloons.
Extras
There are a couple of additions to the card for added depth and of course bling. The bow is made using Darling Duckling Faux Linen Ribbon. It is a thin ribbon and worked underneath the sentiment. The trick is to not pull very tight on the knot. That way it lays flatter. Of course there must be bling! There are a trio of the Shades of Green Hexagon embellishments. These are also part of the turtle suite of products. I use them often as there are not very many “greens” in the embellishments section.
Measurements
The card base is Darling Duckling cardstock cut to 4 1/4 X 11. (If you have followed me for any time at all then you know I love the top fold cards. They stand up so well for display.) I added a layer of Garden Green behind the DSP that measures 3 5/8 X 4 7/8. Next is the DSP which is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. Finally I add a strip of a different sheet from the DSP pack measuring 3 5/8 X 3/4. This is to ground all of the decorations.
