Stampin' Up! Turtle Friends Give it a Whirl

TGIF peeps! Our Thursday group gathered together yesterday and one of the gals became a grandmother again and left the baby to come make cards! Tomorrow I'll show you one of the cards we made but today is a card I made for Grandma & Grandpa. They have a little boy named Roy! He was taken by C-section cuz he was a bruiser!

So, y'all who follow me know I'm enamored with the Give it a Whirl Dies, right?! I chose my colors because of the challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #369.

and here is what I created...

Using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and the Give it a Whirl Dies, the front was easy to make. I'm also entering my card in the Crafty Animals Challenge #53 and 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #53. 2CCC is partnering with Double Trouble #90 Are You Kitten Me? so I'm playing with Thing 1, Thing 3 and Thing 2!

I do think the Shell-ebrate is a cute pun, don't you?

Optional Twist: Include "Pun Sentiment" and partner with 2CraftyCritterCrazies\

They also have a "Mew and Your Paw-some Pet" Special Random Draw so I'm entering Lord Chesterfield (Chester for short) et moi in the competition. Chester was named by my late son after his and my late husband's favorite beer made by Yuengling. Chester loves to give kisses but will not let me hold him. I've also included a photo of how he likes to help in the craft room! He is quite the charmer and a handsome Tuxedo cat.

My card base is Thick Basic White. I cut a mat of Cinnamon Cider cardstock and adhered it to the base with liquid glue. I actually had it cut out already on my desk from the Pattern Party DSP. I have no recollection of cutting it so it must have been awhile ago. In any event, it's Old Olive with a floral pattern. Thus, I am entering my card at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper August 2021 Challenge. 

I forgot to take pics of the revolving wheel, but it contained two turtles looking at each other! I didn't put the arrow on to show how to spin it because the recipient already had made a card with me using the Give it a Whirl dies. I used a die from the Ornate Frames Dies to cut my sentiment. The sentiment is from the All for Baby Stamp Set and it's stamped in Rich Razzleberry.

For the inside, I used stamps from the retired Treasures of Life Stamp Set.

Thank you for stopping by today and I'd love to see you come back tomorrow! Remember I'm looking to get to 100 followers by the end of the year. There may be a prize in store for someone who is chosen randomly once I reach 100.

19 Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; 20 for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us].
