TURTLE-Y AWESOME DIAGONAL CARD

I had a hard time this week deciding which products I wanted to feature.  I debated about calling it DSP Week or Fun Folds Week, but couldn't choose.  So, I'm just going to call it Hodgepodge Week.  I'm going to use a little bit of everything.

I also thought it was time to revisit some of the fun products from the 2025 - 2026 Annual Catalog.  We tend to get so many new products introduced via the Mini Catalogs and Monthly Online Exclusives that I sometimes forget about the awesome products in the Annual Catalog.

Today's card is made using the Turtle-Y Cute Suite.  A friend recently told me a funny story about someone she knows that had experienced a bit of a fall who had trouble getting back up after she fell.  (Don't worry, everyone is fine!).   But that story, which we chuckled over, made me think of this turtle laying on his back.


All the images on this card were snipped from the Turtle-Y Awesome Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The only stamping on this card was the sentiment from Turtle-Y Awesome stamp set.

This DSP collection includes two sheets that have various scenes that can be used for card fronts.  This particular scene looks like a pretty park. 

I am not sure what the official name of this Fun Fold is, but I call it a Diagonal Fun Fold.  It does require 12" x 12" cardstock.  I used Two-Tone Garden Green.  Can you see that the angle from top left down to the right is a lighter color green than the other border edges?  That's one of the unique features of Two-Tone Cardstock.  One side is the "normal" Garden Green color and the oppositie side is a lighter shade of Garden Green.


The two little red birds and the flowers on the right are also images from the DSP.  The Turtle-Y Awesome dies include dies that will cut out many of the images on the paper.  Those dies made quick and easy work of cutting out the birds.   

If you open up the bottom flap toward the right this is what you see.


And if you open this flap toward the left this is the card fully opened.


To decorate the message layer, I snipped out an additional image of a turtle enjoying some ice cream and another little pot of flowers.

This Fun Fold is simple if you know a little trick on how to cut the angles on the DSP.   Download the tutorial to learn my trick and everything else you need to know to make this card.

IT'S A TURTLE BIRTHDAY PARTY

The majority of today's card is made with the Turtle-Y Cute Designer Series Paper (DSP).  There is very little stamping on this card.


The card is a Center Surprise Pop Out Fun Fold.  Remove the belly band and the surprise panel pops out to wish you a happy birthday.


These turtles are ready for a birthday party.  One baked a cake and the other is bringing the music.  The third turtle has already had too much celebrating and is ready for a nap on the belly band.


Maybe it was more difficult than I thought to hold the card closed!  😀

It may be a little difficult to see, but the Circle on the Belly Band was first cut with a Stylish Shapes die and then embossed with the Turtle Textures embossing folder.  This is a great embossing folder than can definitely be used with more than just turtles!

If you would like to make this Center Surprise Pop Out Fun Fold, it is really much easier than it looks.  Use this link to download a tutorial with all the dimensions and step-by-step directions.  You can get your pieces ready and follow along with the Learning With Friends Video to see how easy it really is.


All the images except for the banjo were either die cut with coordinating dies or fussy cut from the DSP.

Even the banjo was made with die cuts from 3 different cardstock colors.  No stamping required!

Only the sentiments were stamped.  I heat embossed both the sentiment on the Pop Out and the belly band with White embossing powder.


Since there is no room to write a message on the Pop Out, I added panels on the back of the card for a hand written note.


I did stamp the cake and the ice cream and color them with Stampin' Blends, but there was definitely very little stamping on this card.

What do you think?  Is this a step (or two) up from Monday's card?
