TGIF! It’s Time for a Sketch Challenge!
Today, the TGIF Challenges Design Team is showcasing projects inspired by the sketch shown below. I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this sketch! Will you play along?


Use a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4.
Use Blending Brushes to apply Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow Classic Inks as shown to a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Basic White card stock.
Zip through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine tucked inside the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the turtles in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Color with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. TIP: I stamped the shell of all three turtles using Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink. I then used the Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend to fill in the “outline”, then colored the entire area with the Light Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend. I added some shading as needed.
Crop the large turtle with the coordinating Turtle Punch. Snip the smaller two turtles with Paper Snips. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiments in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock. Cover with white Basic Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool. Trim to size with a Paper Trimmer. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with white Resin Hearts.

The Turtle Friends Bundle includes the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and the Turtle Punch. This bundle is also available in French.
TURTLE FRIENDS PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
Shell-ebrate someone special with cards you make using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set. Stamp the basic turtle first, then stamp the shell in a coordinating or contrasting color. Add a sentiment for the occasion—birthday, baby, friendship, or just because, and you’re done!
TURTLE PUNCH
Cut out turtle-y adorable turtles quickly and easily with the Turtle Punch.
