Amidst the sun-soaked days and balmy evenings of our Mexico vacation, the encounter with graceful sea turtles swimming alongside us was truly mesmerizing. Inspired by these gentle ocean wanderers, I couldn’t wait to channel this experience into my crafting. The moment we returned, I reached for my Stampin’ Up Sea Turtle Stamp Set, eager to stamp and create. This Angled Gatefold card I’ve designed not only captures the serenity of the turtles but also mirrors the ebb and flow of the ocean’s waves. Join me in crafting a tribute to these majestic creatures, and let's dive into the tranquility of ocean-inspired creativity together.
Coastal Cabana with Sea Turtle + Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, focussing on one colour each week. This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a rich deep berry colour called Coastal Cabana. Coastal Cabana is one of the Brights Colour Family and is a bright-ish aqua. As the name suggests, this colour is lovely for sea themes and could be used for so many other things. Coastal Cabana is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads, spots & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Marker; Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2; Soft Pastels, Brights Designer Series Paper as well as the Confetti Birthday Kit, Light the Candle Card Kit and Ombré Matt Decorative Dots. Coastal Cabana card-stock, ink and Stampin’ Write Marker have been used in the creation of this project plus a range of non-Coastal Cabana bits and pieces. The Sea Turtles stamp set arrived in my last Stampin’ Up! order and it seemed a brilliant combination to pair it with Coastal Cabana. I recently saw a card by Kim Gibbons Fee, a UK Demonstrator and previous Stampin’ Up! Artisan, where Kim used the bubble technique. I hadn’t played with this technique for ages and thought it would be fun to try it in Coastal Cabana. I had forgotten how important it was to keep the amount of water to a minimum and found I needed to keep adding many drops of re-inker and then more & more. I am disappointed the fun bubble effect doesn’t really show in the photos. It is evident in real life but still rather delicate. I started with a small bowl, partially filled with water. A little dishwashing liquid was added to the bowl and then numerous drops of Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin’ re-inker. I put an end of a straw into the water and blew till bubbles built up and over the top of the bowl. The bubbles were scooped off onto a piece of Basic White card-stock. Initially, there was no colour effect, so I added more, & more, & more drops of ink. Bubbles were blown and scooped over 2 pieces of Basic White card-stock. As mentioned, in the end the bubble effect was still delicate but I thought it would be OK. Looking back now I would have liked it a bit darker so the effect was more evident. A little diluted Crumb Cake ink was applied with the wide brush Water Painter to indicate a sandy beach. When the front panel had dried thoroughly a little Embossing Paste was applied with a Palette Knife to the area where sea & sand converge. This was left to dry too. The small turtle from the Sea Turtle stamp set was stamped onto Basic White card-stock in Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ ink. The stamp was turned over on the block and then stamped over the turtle image in second generation Coastal Cabana Classic ink. They are so cute in real life. Some extra colours, depth and highlights were added to give the turtles a little more dimension. Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive Blends combos were used and then the White Watercolor Pencil (Assortment 1) was used to had highlights. The star fish from the Sea Turtle stamp set were stamped in Crumb Cake ink and then over stamped in second generation Petal Pink ink using the back of the stamp. The sea dollars were stamped in Crumb Cake ink and filled in with second generation stamping. The turtles, star fish and the sea dollars were all fussy cut. This card is a simple fun-fold card, that is when the front flap opens (as above), there is another flap that can open to the right. This was created with a Pool Party card base with a smaller Coastal Cabana card base adhered inside the Pool Party card to the back panel, but with the inner card opening to the right. I have used the top of this flap for a turtle scene. They are swimming in the sea. A panel of bubble coloured card-stock was cut with a Deckled Rectangle die, then mounted on a slightly larger piece of Basic White card-stock before being mounted onto the top Coastal Cabana panel. Part of a larger filigree sea plant from the Beauty of the Deep stamps was white heat embossed in the lower left corner. (Only little bits can be seen behind the turtle & plants - but at least I know it’s there - wink). The Beauty of the Sea bundle was used to create sea plants (one being heat embossed with white on Vellum & the other die cut and lightly inked with a Blending Brush) and the anchor (silver embossed on Vellum). Some Linen Thread was tied to the anchor and frayed. The card front was created with the bubble technique panel adhered to a slightly larger piece of Basic White card-stock. A circular Stylish Shape die cut a hole through the card front and also through the Pool Party panel so the scene underneath can be partially seen. The card front was positioned with Dimensionals. A little turtle was added near the hole and some white embossed sea plant was tucked under the card front with it showing over the scene below. A sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set was white heat embossed onto Pool Party card-stock. It was positioned with Mini Dimensionals, with a couple of star fish tucked underneath with some frayed twine (a strand of the Silver Threaded Twine that was sitting on my work station). A few Flat Adhesive-backed Pearls were scattered near the sentiment. I love these Pearls. The inner panel for writing the personal message is a piece of Basic White card-stock with a couple of star fish and sea dollar, a sentiment from the Seaside Bay stamp set and an extra Flat Adhesive-backed Pearl. The snippets of bubble coloured card-stock seen on the back panel were left over from die cutting a panel with a Deckled Rectangle die. A C6 Basic White envelope was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink with one of the sea plant stamps from the Beauty of the Sea stamp set. Thank you for calling in to check out my Coastal Cabana card.

Sea Turtle Tent Card Aren't those little baby sea turtles just the cutest!! The Mint Macaron Color is retiring, so I needed to make one last card using it! Directions: Cut the Mint Macaron Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". The hinges that pop-up the art piece are Mint Macaron C/S cut to 2" x 2" and scored at 1", cut 2 of these. Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, attach the hinges on each side of the 2 1/8" score line with the opening of the hinge facing out. This creates a pop-out mechanism. Cut 2 pieces of the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper to 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the front of the card covering up the glued down hinge. Don't glue the pop-up hinge portion. Cut a piece of Mint Macaron C/S to 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" and emboss using the new Basics 3D Embossing Folder. Attach using Dimensionals to the right hand side of the card on the inside. This creates a "stopper" for the card front to pop-up and stay open. Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 2 3/4" x 5 1/4". Stamp some of the little fish using Mint Macaron Ink along the bottom. Attach to the inside of the card using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. For the art panel, cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". Using the Sea Turtle Stamp Set that is a double sided set, stamp the turtle body in Mint Macaron Ink, stamped off one time for a lighter shade. Do this three times across the layer. Flip the stamp over and using full strength Mint Macaron Ink, stamp the turtle detail over top of the body. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Black Ink and the Lighting The Way Stamp Set. I thought this was the perfect sentiment to go with this card! Add some Iridescent Pearls. Attach this art panel using Dimensionals to a Mint Macaron C/S layer cut to 2 7/8" x 2 7/8". Add some glue to both of the hinges and attach this panel to them. Try this fun fold for yourself and have fun!! Remember that Mint Macaron and the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper are retiring! 🛍 Shop with me here! Happy Stamping and Creating!

Students love Directed Drawing! The process allows children of all ages feel successful in learning how to draw. This activity is even great for older children and adults. I was motivated to share this for several reasons: 1. I saw how much the kids enjoy it! 2. It promotes learning, listening, and following directions. 3. The process helped ME learn to draw using simple shapes and clear directions. What makes these Directed Drawings unique? Each one comes with printable directions for students. The directions are written with child-friendly words and supported with step-by-step pictures. Make sure to check out my other Directed Drawings! This set of animals is now part of a bundle. Make sure to check it out (click here). You can find my free Snow Globe Directed Drawing(click here). In the Classroom: Model how to draw and follow the directions on a large piece of paper or the chalkboard. Allow students to do their first draft in their journals or on a dry erase board. Final copies can be made for classroom art, into cards as gifts, or into a keepsake for the end of the year.
