Step-By-Step Instructions
 

  • Fold the Early Espresso cardstock at the score line to create your card base.
  • Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card. Adhere the strip of Floral Impressions paper to the right side of the Basic White cardstock.
  • Run the Crushed Curry cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine using the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder. Adhere to the front flap of the card.
  • Run the 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" pieces of Very Vanilla and Early Espresso through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut using the 2-3/8" x 3" Nested Essentials Dies.
  • Stamp the turtle image onto the bottom of the Very Vanilla cardstock using Black Memento ink. Color in using the Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends. Stamp the sentiment above the turtle image using Crushed Curry ink. Adhere the Very Vanilla die-cut to the Early Espresso die-cut at an angle as shown in the sample.
  • Adhere the die-cut to the front panel of the card, applying adhesive only to the flap so you don't accidentally glue your card shut.
