Pinwheel Spinner

Have you ever made a spinner card?
It has been such a long time since I did one I kind of forgot
how cool they are and so simple to do.
Now I say simple, however the creator of today's
spinner card, Cheri, made 52 of these.
That's not that simple — a bit time consuming but
I think well worth it since she won THIRD place
in our Stampin' Sisters Retreat card contest.
She received a wonderful prize for her efforts.

To create the spinner — first she used the Word Window Punch to
make the open in the Whisper White card layer.
She used a square of Birthday Bouquet designer paper to
create the pinwheel.
Then she used two pennies — that's right, coins.
You stack two dimensionals on a penny and then add another
penny on top (one penny on each side of the opening).
Then she added the pinwheel with another dimensional.
Then when you tilt the card back and forth the pinwheel spins.
The kids really like but so do the big kids.

I would love for you to post a copy of a spinner card you make
in the comments.  Let's see all the different designs.

Botanical Blooms WOW Card

I’ve been doing a little playing with the Botanical Blooms stamp set
and I realized I didn’t share the Stampin’ Sisters Card Contest
winning card.  It uses the Botanical Blooms Bundle.
Yes, Kim used all three items for her fabulous card.
Check this out.

Isn’t this beautiful — love the drape fold of the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
She used the Botanical Builder framelits to cut out flower pieces.
And if that is gorgeous enough, check out the inside of the card.

Don’t you just love how she has all the pop up flowers.
The flowers are attached to strips of Window Sheets.
Kim put a lot of time into making 52 of this card.
No wonder she came in first.

Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals

Today's card was one of the Stampin' Sisters Retreat Card Contest
swaps.  Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals stamp sets
aren't sets that I would normally use together but I LOVE this card.
Petals & GrungeUnfortunately, I don't know who made this card
but the color combo is very striking — Island Indigo and Pool Party.
She started with the "blob" stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and
stamp it twice — once full strength and then again stamped
off, then stamped with Pool Party.
The streaked lines are stamped with Basic Gray.
Three different flowers from Petite Petals are stamped
one full strength Island Indigo, one stamped off
with Island Indigo and another stamped with
Pool Party.  All three are punched out with the
Petite Petals Punch.
