The new Turtle Friends Stamp Set has some adorable images. I purchased it along with the Turtle Punch, because buying them bundled together saved me 10%. But I didn’t use the punch on today’s card. Take a look at what I came up with.

Directions
- Stamp the large turtle onto the small white piece and onto the Pale Papaya scrap. Stamp the shell shaped sentiment inside the shell of the Pale Papaya turtle, then cut it out.
- Emboss the Pale Papaya shell and the larger gold strip. Adhere the shell to the large, stamped turtle (this is called “paper piecing”).
- Fold the card base. Add the 1″ wide strips so that the designer paper one is centered in the 1-1/4″ wide section of the Early Espresso card base and the gold one is about 1/8″ away from the right side when the card base is open.
- Stamp the words and small turtle on the larger white piece, then add to the left of the gold strip so that its left edge is close to (but not touching) the middle score line. You want to be able to fold the card shut, and if the white is too far over, it won’t. You also want to make sure that when the front of the card is folded over that the white piece disappears.
- Add the larger designer paper so it looks balanced between the designer paper strip and the white piece.
- Add the small gold strip to the small Early Espresso piece, then add the small white piece. Open the card all the way and add this layered turtle piece with Dimensionals to the card so it’s lined up with the imagery on the larger white piece AND so it’s centered on the 1″ wide designer paper section.
- Close the card and add the gold pearls.
