Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends and Happy World Turtle Day!!! My daughter LOVES turtles and has a very large collection of them. She wants to swim with the turtles one day and I told her I’d do that with her. How many turtle lovers are out there?
In honor of World Turtle Day, I’ve made a turtle card for today. Now I’m not sure which card my daughter will get for her birthday at the end of the week. She loves Chemistry and Turtles, and I’ve made both birthday cards. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Sea Turtle Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Photopolymer Stamp Set, Basics 3 D Embossing Folder and the Hello Irresistible 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I started by randomly stamping the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on the Lost Lagoon card front. I embossed the panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Pretty Peacock card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a square panel of Hello Irresistible DSP, I stamped the sand dollar image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the fish image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on another panel of the Hello Irresistible DSP, in Calypso Coral Ink. I sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I stamped the starfish image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Wild Wheat Ink on the last square of Hello Irresistible DSP. I sprinkled the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I adhered the 3 squares to 3 Basic White mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch, I punched a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I sprinkled the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the punched circle to the Basic Whtie circle mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered circle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. From a panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut the sentiment mat using the Wanted To Say Dies. From a panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock, I cut the sentiment from the Wanted To Say Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the mat using Multipurpose Liqui Glue. I adhered the layered sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the sides of the panel. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink on the bottom of the panel. I flipped the image over and stamped the solid turtle image in Pretty Peacock Ink over the detailed image, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Lost Lagoon mat then to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bubble image from the Sea Turtle stamp set on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper. I stamped the small detail turtle image from the Sea Turtle stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. I flipped the stamp over and stamped the solid turtle image in Pretty Peacock Ink over the detailed image, stamping off once on scrap paper. I adhered a panel of Hello Irresistible DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
