Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 2 1/2", 3 3/4", 6 3/4" and 8", fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layers to the card mats and then adhere them in place, one on the front, then fold that behind the card out of the way and adhere the remaining one to the next section (see pictures).

Adhere the smaller strip of green card to the final section. Stamp the flowers on the basic white mat for this section and then stamp the turtle on the remaining piece of white and colour in both with the Stampin' Blends. Die cut the turtle with one of the square dies.

Stamp the two sentiments and then die cut them both using one of the banners from the die set. Add the turtle to the card front on dimensionals. Tuck the top sentiment under the edge of the turtle mat so that it lines up with the edge of the card when it is folded closed. Then adhere the second banner, directly beneath the first so that you can't see it when the card is closed. Adhere the final piece of white with the flowers to the back section of the card.

Add a ribbon bow at the side of the turtle and the card is complete.
