Easy Wobble Card w/ Hand-stamped Background

February 18, 2020 by Kat

Spread the love!

Here’s a fun and easy wobble card that is simple to assemble and will bring a smile to whoever receives it! It is a wobble card that features the turtle from the “Back on Your Feet” stamp set from Stampin’ Up with a creative hand-stamped background.

Inspired by a card I made for a family member recovering from surgery; I created my own background for the “Back on Your Feet” turtle using the stamp-stamp-off technique, fussy cut the rolly-polly turtle after some Stampin’ Blends color and popped on a WOBBLE SPRING to create my wobble card!

With the Beginning or Casual Stamper in mind, this is great card to employ the stamp-stamp-off technique, fussy cutting, blending colors with the stamping blends, designing using a monochromatic theme and adding a special feature like the wobble spring.
