A blog created to help me commit to creating and accomplishing. Why Turtle Creations? Because I can be as slow as one when it comes to finishing my projects! You may also encounter the occasional post about some very special blessings! Or the occasional quilt project. If you'd like to purchase any of the papercrafts you see here contact me and I'll let you know if it's available.
This month's kit will get you 9 cards with envelopes. Plus, there will be extra pieces left over to continue your creativity. I made up the three cards as they were designed by Stampin' Up! But you don't have to! Do it YOUR way if you like!
This is what was included in this month's kit! Literally everything you need.

If you haven't used paper napkins to make cards, you will never look at them the same way again! You can use any paper napkin for this technique and it will be awesome! In real life this card is sparkly and cheery! Give it a try...
It's as simple as:
adhering two sided adhesive (I used the now retired Sizzix adhesive sheets) to card stock. Apply one layer of your napkin...they are usually 2 or 3 play--you only use the one top layer! Ink it up liberally with VersaMark and add your Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. Heat it all up and assemble your card!
On this card I used vellum card stock to stamp and emboss the white sentiment from Cottage Greetings. Added a few hearts from the Confetti Heart punch and it was done!

The embossed crumb cake background was made with the Decorative Dots embossing folder. The fun grid background on the image piece was made with the Timeless Textures stamp set available in the Handmade from the Heart Occasions catalogue. My Thank You sentiment was from the Rose Wonder set also available in the Occasions catalogue.
My Paper Pumpkin arrived today and I wanted to take it out and play. This is an alternate project with some of the products. I coupled the kit heart, twine, banner and sequins with Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. The colours match perfectly. My heart is heat embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. A simple quick card.

I used Shimmery White card stock and sponged with Bermuda Bay and Wild Wasabi. I sprayed directly onto the stamp and then stamped several times, re-misting each time. It takes a few minutes for the magic to work but the results are fun and pretty.
Some glimmer was added to the butterfly with the new Wink of Stella glitter brush. It is so pretty IRL!

I think the Delicate Ornament Thinlits are my favourite item in the Holiday Catalogue. Using the new Precision Plate makes using these intricate dies a breeze. They cut evenly and thoroughly. And to top it off the Precision Plate is on the 25% Off Weekly Deals this week. So get it soon as there are limited numbers available at this price. It is regular $31.00 and is on SALE for $23.25.
Simple stamping on the inside with the co-ordinating stamp set Embellished Ornaments

This set of cards was made with Seasonal Snapshot Project Life bundle. It retires at the end of this year's Holiday Catalogue. I love how quick and easy it is to put these cards together. The White Baker's Twine was the only thing not in the Project Life bundle of products used the create these cards besides the card bases. In the card above there was NO stamping! The tree and star were die cuts and the red sequin was part of the accessory kit.
Here I just added the sentiment on a piece of Whisper White card stock and used the tree paperclip that came in the accessory pack.
The star paper clip and the red sequins added from the Accessory Pack.
A little piece of corrugated paper was adhered behind the sentiment. The Project Life cards did all the work!
The Seasonal Snapshot Project Life bundle of fun is only available until Jan. 4.
