Rain or Shine Turtle Card

Did your children, or grandchildren love the Franklin the Turtle books or the TV cartoon back in the 90's and early 2000's? My kids did. In fact I recently discovered their old books when we were having a clean out. As soon as I saw the books, I knew I would use them to inspire my next creation using the Rain or Shine Suite Collection from the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalogue. The images in this suite are adorable with the turtle, fox, rabbit, rain clouds, umbrellas and flowers, that you can use to create some awesome projects.

I had a play with them on my Facebook Live this week, using a window card idea from Rachel Aziamadi who is a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator in France. I changed the front focal panel of my card to create a cute scene with the turtle stamp and CASED the rest of the card from Rachel. Thank you Rachael for demonstrating such an awesome card during our global Mini Catalogue Launch Party last week.

Here is my cute Turtle card...meet my adorable little Franklin.

Rain or Shine Turtle Card

I feel like I want to use this card to tell a story, but I will save my story for another day. Lol. What stories could you tell using these products? This card would also be adorable with either the fox or the rabbit images too.
