Turtle-y Awesome Dies

Countdown to Christmas 2025 – Week 12

~ Karen Young

The final project for my Countdown to Christmas 2025 series is this cute Rudolph card. It is the final project from my Christmas Card Making Day too.

Some of you will know that I like to make a fun Christmas project and it is usually punch art or various die cut pieces.

First, the background was given a colour flare using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink. It was then stamped using the snowflake from the A Little Cheer Stamp Set, again in Balmy Blue.

Next, a strip of Poppy Parade was stuck across the project and three lengths of the Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine were added.

It was then time to create Rudolph. His face is a Crumb Cake circle cut using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. Antlers in Pecan Pie cut from the Loveliest Tree Dies are then stuck to the back of the circle.

For the eyes and mouth, the circles from the Ornamental Christmas Dies were cut in Black and White and layered for the eyes, with just one circle for the mouth.

I have used a variety of items on this project with some from the Online Exclusives range.

A few of the producs I have used on this project are also now on the Last Chance Products list, so make sure you grab them while you can.

His shiny nose is cut in Poppy Parade from the Turtle-y Awesome Dies and coated in Wink of Stella.

Rudolph is added to the project using Dimensionals, with his nose stuck with a Dimensional as the final touch.

A fun project for all the family to finish this year’s countdown!

July Card Making Class – Project 1

~ Karen Young

At the weekend, I held my monthly Card Making class. July’s theme was ‘For the Children’ and the focus was on cards to send to children.

The first of the four projects used the Turtle-y Awesome Stamp Set and Dies Bundle from the new Annual Catalogue.

I choose the new In Color of Timid Tiger as my accent colour for the sentiment that was stamped across the back.

Next, all of the turtles and their accessories were stamped in Basic Gray onto separate pieces of Basic White cardstock.

The turtles were cut out using the 2″ Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range, with the balloon, cake and ice cream cut out using the dies.

Everything was then coloured using the Watercolor Pencils packs 1 and 2 and  a Blender Pen.

Each accessory was stuck to a turtle and they were raised up on Dimensionals.
