Quick Turtle-y Cards

 

Today I had several cards I needed to make quickly.  I turned to a fun Stampin' Up! paper pack called Turtle-y Cute.  I used parts of 3 papers from the set to create 6 cards - one Father's Day card and 5 "Un-birthday" cards.  A couple of the papers have pretty background scenes that I made use of. Here's a quick look at details for each card.

Card #1 (above):  I fussy cut pieces from the 3rd piece of paper - in this case the grill and grill master - and glued them to the background scene after inked the edges.  I stamped a greeting in red using a stamp from the Beside Me stamp set from Stampin' Up!, punched an oval, inked the edges, and added to the card with foam tape.

Cards #2 & #3: 

I made a couple of cards using the beach background scene (this one and the next one).  Again I inked the edges of the scene.  This time I stamped the greeting directly onto the background after fussy cutting a bunch of pieces from the other paper and creating these beach scenes.  The greeting stamp is an old one from JustRite - a set called Royal Antique Labels One.

Card #4:

This time I used the stage background to make a card for a grandson who enjoys singing - though I'll admit the turtle doesn't look much like him!

Card #5: 

This fun picnic scene was created in a similar way - this time adding a punched oval with the sentiment.

Card #6: 

There were several pieces left over from the background scene paper.  I thought the striped paper looked a bit like an awning and the flowered piece a bit like the ground, so I created this scene for my last card.

So there you have it.  Six VERY QUICK cute cards.  So glad to have them finished!
