Christmas Owl Spinner Card



STAMP SET
Teeny Tiny Wishes

CARD STOCK
Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, Real Red, Early Espresso, Basic Black, DSP

INK
Basic Black

ACCESSORIES
2 Pennies, Double sided sticky foam pieces (you can use pieces from old rubber stamp scraps)

TOOLS
Word Window Punch, Owl Punch, Regular Hole Punch

ADHESIVES
Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals, Glue Dot

INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions are based on an A2 sized card. Spinner tracks are also designed for A2 sized cards and may be used vertically or horizontally (with the 2 different sizes of tracks available.). Additional items needed: 2 pennies, 1 pop dot, glue dot, extra double sided sticky foam pieces, folded A2 card base, additional front to card (cardstock cut to 5 ¼” x 4”), image to make cartwheel! Stamp your spinner track on the spare piece of cardstock with the word window punch. This will be the front of the card. Cut out this oval with detail scissors. Try to cut either on or just inside the oval line. You should still be able to see some leftover ink. Just turn it around to be the back. Make a “penny sandwich” with your two pennies stuck together with a pop dot in the center. Carefully slip one side (one penny) into the middle of your cut track. Ensure the pennies roll freely back and forth in the track. If they stick anywhere, remove the pennies and trim that area a little more. Decorate the card front (with the track) as you wish. On the back, stick your extra foam pieces—one in each corner and one in the middle. You may also want one on each side near the spinner track for additional support. Peel the backing from the foam pieces and stick the entire card front to the folded card base. Trim your image and stick it to the center of one of the pennies with the glue dot. Carefully slide the back penny into the track. Your image should now cartwheel freely back and forth across the front of the card. Note that regular paper is not strong enough to use as the “card front” with the track on it. Also, these cards will require extra postage due to the additional thickness.

Workshop ~ June 3rd ~ 7-10PM

I have decided to try a Friday night workshop to see if it is more convenient for your schedules! Saturdays are difficult for most because of sports and family activities. So I hope you can make my next workshop on Friday, June 3rd from 7-10PM. Consider it a ladies night out with some friendly chatter and a nice glass of wine while we create some adorable items!

Please RSVP by next Wednesday, May 25th

At this workshop we will make the following items:
A Father's Day card using "The Open Sea" stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. On this card we will use a technique called "ink resist".

A fabric flower clip using the Big Shot "Fun Flowers" die and "Springtime Vintage Fabric". This flower is made by layering the different sized flowers created from the die with ribbon in between the layers. A button glued on top adds a nice touch to the middle of the flower. Clip the flower to your pocket book or you could also use it for a bookmark!

A "Twisted Easel" birthday card using the "Nature Walk" stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

A "Stained Mosaic" card featuring the mosaic technique using extra pieces of rubber scraps from stamp sets.

Cost per person for this workshop is $10.00.

I will have a special participant gift for those who attend this workshop as well as instructions for all of these projects to take home with you.

This picture shows the Real Red frame part of the die cut surrounding the inside part of the Whisper White die cut. A word balloon! The "strings" on the balloons are natural hemp twine attached with mini glue dots. The yellow balloon is the second to the largest circle on the Circles #2 Die. We used Varsity Alphabet and Real Red ink to stamp the words.
I used the Oval Frame Die twice, once with Real Red cardstock and second with Whisper White cardstock. The inside part of the Real Red frame became a balloon as you can see in the photo above. The blue balloon is made with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch (page 19 of the Holiday Mini catalog). A couple of quick strokes with the White Gel Pen gives the balloons a touch of life.
