Spinner Card – There’s GNOME one like you!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/T5lJTwlxYPk

Today we will be creating one of my favorite card designs which is the super fun spinner style card! You just wind up the spinning element and then place the card in the envelope and when the recipient opens the card the cute little gnome will spin around!!! The cute front and back gnome images will come from the brand new Ai Gnomes Set (5785). This set includes this larger front and back image as well as several smaller gnomes that are simply adorable!

Let’s first create the card base using some Kraft cardstock. This square card will measure 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Next we can cut a layer of Dark Brown cardstock and the third layer will be a pretty patterned paper from the brand new Ai Gnomes Paper Pack (5832).

We will be die cutting the square openings for the card using the Ai Nested Square Dies (5725). In this video I will give you some tips and tricks for die cutting these square openings in all of the layers so that everything lines up perfectly!

So I thought it would be fun to use the Gnomes Paper Pack to do some paper piecing on our little gnome. We will stamp the image onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock…this will be the base of our gnome and then we will stamp the image a few more times onto the patterned papers that will become the hat, outfit, shoes and hands.

Next we can fussy cut these pieces and then glue them to the base image. That will just leave us to color the beard and nose and to do this we will use the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Gray Tint, and Blush.

Now we can assemble the spinner mechanism and I will give you very detailed instructions for doing this in the video. It’s super easy and fun to do!!!

For a few finishing touches let’s add some twine and a few sparkly red hearts!

I will be using the smaller gnomes in a cute card which will be coming out in the near future….so if you love these little gnomes you may want to keep and eye out for that card!

SPINNER CARD using the Front and Back Little Boy – BRAND NEW RELEASE!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got another brand new stamp and die set to share with you today from Art Impressions! This set is called the Ai Little Boy Front & Back Set (5716) and it includes both the front of the little boy and the back…plus the coordinating dies!

This set is absolutely perfect for the spinner style cards because when you line up the front and the back they will be perfectly symmetrical. It will allow us to place the thread right down the middle of the image and then we can sandwich the thread thread in between to create our spinner mechanism. I will give you all of the details and some tips and tricks for creating this spinner card in the video!

First let’s go ahead and stamp and color our little boy…who is just so adorable! All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Yellow, Deep Red, Lt Brown, Beige, Green Gray, Dk Oatmeal, Mid Brown.

We will be using some patterned papers from the Photo Play “Thankful” Paper Pad to set the scene for our background! To die cut these we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). To cut the oval opening in the front of the card we will be using the Brand New Ai Nested Oval Die Set (5727).

Let’s add a few fun elements to the scene using the Ai WC Fence Die Set (4967) and the Ai Cats Mini Dies Set (5333).

We will also grab some fun sentiments for the card from the Ai Mr. Set (5406) and the Ai Baby Critters Set (5400).

If you love these Front and Back Sets be sure to check out the video I did using the Ai Little Girl Front and Back Set which is linked below:

Lawn Fawn Triple Spinner “Big Acorn” Slimline Card

Hello!!!

Today we will be creating a triple spinner card!!! I have created many spinner cards in the past but I have never made a card with three spinners. I’ll show you how easy it is to create the spinner mechanism. We will be using the “Big Acorn” from the Lawn Fawn collection as our spinner and it was perfect for this concept!

We will also create a beautiful background of Fall leaves by using the Lawn Fawn Falling Leaves Stencils. This is a two part stencil and I will give you a few tips and tricks for lining this up on a slimline card. I’ll show you some simple coloring for the acorns and then we will also complete the inside of the card with some special sentiments! Then we will add a few sparkly gems for a finishing touch!

I thought it would be so much fun to have not only the acorns spinning around but to also have a sentiment on each one of them which was inspired by the current Lawn Fawn Blog Challenge #112 which is to make the sentiment the star of the show!

If you love this spinner type card then you may want to check our my Art Impressions “Batty” Halloween Spinner Card!

Art Impressions “Batty” Halloween Spinner Card

Hello Ai Fans!!!

Todays card and video are inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge which is called “Going Batty”! I thought it would be fun to create a spinner card using the cute little bat from the Halloween Critters Set (5182) and the pumpkin border from the Pumpkin Flip Set (5352).

I will show you how easy it is to create a super fun interactive spinner card. This just requires a bit of clear thread and our bat will look like it is flying on its own! Just wind it up….and let it fly!!!

I really love to look at my stamp sets in a different way so that I can use them in multiple ways. So for this card we will trim away the little critters from inside the pumpkins and just use the pumpkin border on its own.

To set the scene for our card we will use some Distress Oxide Inks and then some beautiful Mica Spray for added shimmer! We will also add some trees and branches in the background with two different stamp sets from the Bible Journaling Sets – Bible Foliage (5073) and He Leads Me (5169).

If you love these little halloween critters as much as I do…you may want to check out my Mini Slimline Halloween Card w/ Glimmer Paste and my Halloween Critters Tag Card!
