Hey there, papercrafting enthusiasts! You’ll find it so easy to create this handmade card with our simple All Occasion Card Tutorial! It uses the Sea Turtle Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! which is a two-step stamping stamp set, making papercrafting a snap!

Are you tired of sifting through store shelves for the ‘perfect’ card? Well, guess what? The perfect card is the one you create yourself! Whether it’s an all-occasion sentiment or a personalized birthday wish, handcrafting a card adds that extra sprinkle of love. In this guide, we’ll explore delightful ideas, techniques, and inspirations for both birthday and all-occasion handmade greeting cards. It’s time to let your creativity shine and send smiles across miles, one beautiful card at a time!

1. Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of  Basic White Cardstock in half at the 4-1/4” score line.
2. Using the Tahitian Tide ink pad, ink up the bubbles image, tap off on your scratch paper, and stamp as shown on the sample.  Tip:  to stamp on the 2-1/4” piece of White cardstock, line up on the front of the card and stamp again without reinking the stamp.
3. Stamp the fish image 2 times on the 2-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink. Stamp the large & small starfish using Berry Burst ink. Adhere the White cardstock to the Berry Burst cardstock and adhere to the card front so the bubbles line up.
4. Cut a  1/2” x 2” piece of Basic White cardstock; stamp the sentiment using Black ink.  
5. Tie the Linen Thread into a bow and adhere to the card.  
6. Adhere the sentiment over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Easy Peasy! This card comes together quickly thanks to the two-step stamping feature of the Sea Turtle Stamp Set. Two-step stamp sets are my favorite type of Stampin’ Up! Sets  . The two-step stamping process lets you layer images using different stamps from the set. It’s like building an image piece by piece. You might use one stamp to make the outline of a flower, and another stamp to color in the petals. When you put it all together, you get one detailed picture that looks like it pops off the page! You can also easily use different ink colors for each stamp. This gives your picture more color and detail than you’d get using just one stamp. Try two-step stamping to add more life and color to your papercrafting projects!
