Reversible Stamps by Stampin’ Up!
You’re going to flip over the Reversibles Stamps by Stampin’ Up! The Sea Turtle Stamp Set is a Reversible Stamp Set – a game-changing innovation in the world of stamping. These aren’t your ordinary stamps; these are two-in-one wonders that act like a two-step stamp set. Imagine having a silhouette on one side and a detailed image on the other, giving you the power to add color, shadows, and mind-blowing depth to your cards and projects. Perfect for quick & easy cards, mirror images, layering, and so much more, these stamps are set to revolutionize your crafting experience.
Since this set doesn’t come with any sentiments, I paired it with the Happy Labels stamp set, which has lots of different all-occasion stamps. And I pulled my color inspiration from the beautiful Earthen Elegance Designer Paper.
I love this color combination for the Sea Turtle images – they’re muted enough for an underwater scene but rich enough to use for a masculine card. If you’d prefer something brighter, consider a color combination that uses Blueberry Bushel – you can find lots of inspiration in my Color Combination Library. Let’s dive into the fun and discover how you can double your creativity with Reversible Stamps!

A Tip from Barb
The Sea Turtle Reversible Stamps actually make this card very easy to create, but the use of the die-cuts and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine have made me update this to a Work Bee card. If you don’t have the Radiating Stitches dies or Cut & Emboss Machine, you can use a 1-1/2″ circle punch and cut a 2-1/2″ x 4″ rectangle piece of Pool Party cardstock to simplify the card!
