I found this design on Pinterest and knew I wanted to make it using the turtle. They turned out so cute! Watch the video to hear about a funny turtle encounter I had.
In the video, I’ll show you how to make this fun layer with the circle cutout for the turtle. The Turtle Friends Bundle has a stamp set and a coordinating Turtle Punch to make it easy to cut out the turtle.
This is the beautiful turtle that was in my yard last week. It’s a Box Turtle and the shell is so pretty although I think there may be something going on with it. You can see that white area on the top, poor little guy.
