Hello! Happy New Year! Create with Stamping Friends is back after a short Christmas break. We have a sketch challenge to start off the new year and I’ve made a Turtle-y Cute New Year’s Celebration card!
Here’s our sketch:

And here’s my card:

I don’t know, but I think we should sign this group up to march in the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena!
Here are my directions:
- Granny Apple Green Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
- Granny Apple Green Cardstock layer, 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″, embossed with the new Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (available January 6)
- Turtle-y Cute DSP, 4″x 2-7/8″ for background, corners clipped
- Turtle-y Cute DSP for turtle musicians and musical notes, fussy cut
- Sentiment from Simply Said, stamped with Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White Cardstock, 2-3/4″x 1/2″
- Shades of Green Hexagons, three
Inside:

- Basic White, 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″
- Alphabet a la Mode Dies numbers, cropped from Turtle-y Cute DSP
- Trumpeter from Turtle-y Cute, fussy cut
The inside is what makes this a New Year card. The front is simply a celebration card – for any occasion that you want! I really love to make flexible cards that I can customize for the occasion I need.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2026!
