Spinner Fun
04/18/2011
Well...it's been awhile again! Sorry for my absence....when you don't see any blog posts from me - you can just automatically assume that things are crazy here...LOL! I've been gone the last couple weekends - don't get me wrong - I love to go away...but it really messes with the amount of time that I have to show you great stuff! I've been up north the last couple weekends (and will be again for Easter) visiting my mom & dad. The first weekend was for a Saturday workshop - this last weekend was to celebrate my mom's birthday - YIPEE!!!! We almost lost her a few years ago and I cherish every minute!!! So I've been consumed with cutting cardstock and entering orders and all that stuff that has to get done before I can take the time to share everything - and you know how I LOVE to share!!!
Here's a fun card that I made for my monthly Technique Club...I received a fun fold card in a swap and just had to recreate this for my class. I happened to have a lot of the Wicked Fun Speciatly Designer Series Paper left over from Halloween projects....and it worked perfect for my masculine birthday card...not just a Halloween product - I love that about our Designer Series Paper!!!
This card is so cool because is stands up all by itself and folds flat for mailing! And you have to LOVE those Spinner Hands!!!
All you do is cut your base cardstock (I used Cajun Craze) at 4-1/4" x 11" and score at 5-1/2", 6-3/4", 8", 9-1/4" and 10-1/2". Fold on all score lines and you'll see how you get the little box at the bottom of the card! Add your layers (dimensions below) and waaa laaa!
Ingredients - Stamps: Take a Spin; Curly Cute Ink: Rich Razzleberry Accessories: Game Spinners; Paper Piercer; Square Scallop Duo Die; Big Shot
Cardstock Dimensions: Cajun Craze 4-1/4 x 11 – scored at 5-1/2; 6-3/4, 8, 9-1/4, 10-1/2 & 3-1/2 x 3-1/2; Basic Black 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 & 5/8 x 3-1/8; Whisper White 3 x 1/2; DSP 1 x 4 & 4 x 4

Cute card, that turkey makes me want to go get one (already cooked). Your hubby did a great job getting that one.
