Turtle Bites

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your staying cool! 

This week has been horrible with the temps in the 90's & high humidity!

I haven't been doing much...no stamping going on here.

Honestly, I have been glued to the Hallmark Channel watching Christmas in July movies! I just love them even if I have seen them before!

Today I have a cute treat to share using the Turtle & Friends bundle.

One evening as I was at the grocery store I found some Turtle Bites Candy and grabbed them to use them with the Turtle & Friends stamp set.

I saved a video from Marisa Alvarez that she had made candy treats back at Christmas time. I changed it up to use my Turtle Bites Candies and then added my adorable little turtle!

Project Details:

Stamps: Turtle & Friends

Ink: Memento Black, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Patterned Party DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, 1/2 inch Circle Punch, Real Red Linen Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals Cell Bags, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These sweet treats are very easy to create and one that is sure to make someone smile! 

Marisa suggested keeping the bag that your Stampin Dimensionals come in. I have saved them for a few months so I have a nice little supply of them.

In each bag I was able to put 4 Turtle Bites in and then wrap the excess around to the back and it sealed itself shut. 

This only uses a small piece of cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 3.

Then a piece of DSP measuring 5 x 2 3/4.

I used a 1/2 inch Circle Punch to notch my ends where the ribbon goes around the project. I kept this step for last so I could tie my ribbon tight around the candy treat. The cello bag just lays loosely on the cardstock and the ribbon holds it tight but you could always add some adhesive to give it extra support. 

Lastly, I added my turtle that I stamped on a Circle Die.

I added some adorable little hearts that are in the set and my sentiment.

I used some retired Real Red Linen Ribbon from last year to tie my cello bags on and made a nice bow. Then I added my turtle with 2 Dimensionals so it stayed in place over the Red Linen Ribbon.

I absolutely love these!

Hope you do, too!

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Hope your having a nice weekend so far!

Yesterday I got a nice sized card order to work on this week so I think this afternoon I am going to get started on it since our Saturday is to be a cloudy day!

Before I head off to get my day started I am going to share a card I made for on my card rack. I just love the Turtle & Friends set and wanted to make a cute card with it!

I stamped my turtle with Memento Black ink and then colored with with my Granny Apple Green Stampin Blends. Once I left that dry I stamped the spots on the turtle shell with Granny Apple Green ink and it dried dark which I like the look of it! His bowtie I stamped and fussy cut.
