Spellbinders Crafty Advent Calendar – Day 6 Turtle

I am sharing a cute turtle card that I made with Days 6 of Spellbinders Crafty Advent Calendar in this article.

This is a die set that includes a darling turtle, a balloon, and a cute little party hat.

STEPS TO CREATE THE TURTLE CARD

• Blend green ink onto one-third of an A2 card panel vertically
• Blend blue ink over the rest of the card panel.
• Trim blended card panel with a notched corner rectangle die
• Die-cut turtle from three shades of green
• Die-cut party hat from red and silver glitter cardstocks
• Die-cut Balloon from red, yellow, and blue cardstock
• Die-cut balloon strings from brushed silver cardstock
• Cut a little scrap of black cardstock to put behind the hole for the turtle’s eye. Attach with liquid glue
• Cut three little scraps of white cardstock to put behind each of the balloons. Attach with liquid glue
• Assemble the turtle, hat, and balloons with liquid glue
• Trim a piece of colored patterned paper to A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) and fasten it to a white A2 card base with a tape runner.
• Add foam squares to the back of the blended card panel and attach centered over the patterned paper.
• Add foam squares to the back of the turtle, his hat, and the 3 balloons. Then fasten them to the cardfront. And, it helps to fasten down the ends of the balloon strings with liquid glue
• Heat emboss “happy birthday” on a scrap of vellum with silver embossing powder
• Hand-cut a bubble around the sentiment and attach it to the card (do not use foam squares as I did).
