Turtle Friends Fun Fold

Here is another card we designed for my stamp class at Garner! I love the Turtles and I like to design one simple Fun Fold for them to do. This is a basic "Z" fold!  I used retired DSP (to use it up), but I am sure you can find a current or retired green DSP as well!!  He is just so cute.  And, of course, we added a googlie eye, and those cute acrylic flowers!  Enjoy!!



Measurements:   

  • Garden Green: 1/2 sheet, cut LENGTHWISE
  • Mint Macaron: 3" x 4"
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" , 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
  • Garden Lane DSP (retired): 2 1/2" x 4", 1 1/4" x 4"
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Garden Green card base in half, and then fold the front back on itself, again, creating a "Z".  
  • Add Basic White piece to inside.
  • Attach larger DSP to the front, and DSP strip on top of the White and to the right, as shown.
  • Stamp "Turtle" in Memento Black ink. Stamp "shell" in Garden Green ink, as well as "grass".  Allow to dry.  Then, color in "Turtle" in Dk Mint Macaron Blend.
  • Stamp sentiment of your choice, above "turtle" in Memento Black ink.
  • Mount onto Mint Macaron piece. Now attach LEFT half of this piece to front of card, as shown.
  • Finish with Pale Papaya "Loose Flowers" and a 5mm Googlie Eye!!

Turtle Friends Give It a Whirl

Here is another adorable Give It a Whirl card using the darling Turtle Friends bundle. This one uses the host Pattern Party paper. We will be doing this one in club, too.  Come join us.  Just please RSVP, so I have a kit for you.  Kits for in person only.


Measurements:  

  • Mango Melody: 1/2 sheet
  • Thick Basic White: 3 3/4" square
  • Basic White: scraps (scalloped circle), turtle
  • Pattern Play DSP (host) (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (green), 1 1/4" x 3 3/4" (stripe)
To Make This Card

  • Cut "whirly" base from "leafy" DSP using dies for this purpose, along with circle "window" also included!
  • Cut interactive "wheel" from Thick Basic White.
  • Place mini brad through the hole in the "whirly" base and into the "wheel". Open prongs, but not too tightly.
  • Place scallop circle around circle opening, hiding brad.
  • Line up the "creases" of the wheel in the window opening. Stamp images or sentiments of your choice in the 3 spots on the wheel. I stamped mine in Memento black, so I could color with Blends. "Give it a Whirl" to see how it looks!!
  • Stamp "turle" in Memento Black ink onto scrap of Basic White. Stamp the "shell detail" in Granny Apple Green ink, color the turtle with Lt Granny Apple Blend, and "tail" and "nails with the Dk Granny Apple Blend. Now, punch out with corresponding punch.
  • Attach stripe DSP to card front, as well as popped up "turtle.
  • Now you need to attach this to your card, using a variety of "dimensionals".  Regular, Adhesive Strips, and Adhesive Sheets!!  You want to raise up the entire piece so the "wheel" will turn, and the front will be "supported", but not so close to the wheel as it won't turn! I use only 1 layer of Dimensionals for mine, some demos use 2 - the choice is yours!
  • Now finish with scattered iridescent sequins and a 5mm googlie eye on the turtle.
