Sweet Honeybee Spinner card

I have a card for you today that is a little out of my norm. I have never created a spinner card but for one of the September Challenges we were tasked with picking our inspiration from the Stampin' Success 3rd quarter magazine and create a card based on it or copy it directly. The project I chose uses the same stamp set but I used different papers and elements to create my card. Such fun for making my first Slider card. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . . Additional supplies: 2 pennies, clear blocks. 1. Cut a card base out of Old Olive card stock that measures 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼”. 2. Cut a slightly smaller piece of the Serene Scenery DSP and decide where you want to create the spinner portion of your card. Die cut the slider element and place the pennies in the track in order to adhere foam adhesive to pop the DSP up. Don’t put adhesive too close to the pennies or the mechanism won’t work. 3. On scraps of Whisper W

Today I have a clean and simple card for you that can be used for a birthday card or anniversary. This is intended for my Husband for our 20th anniversary and I also used this card in one of the Sept Stampin' Up challenges.

Stampin’ Up Sept Challenge #6

I used Santa's Sleigh bundle, Warmth & Cheer DSP, Silver Metallic thread and the Silver Metallic shapes to give the illusion of snow falling. I made an Oval shaped Christmas card.

Adhere the DSP on top of the card base and trim off any excess paper. 2. Usine Tip Top Taupe card stock, stamp the reindeer image using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then die cut the image with the matching framelit. Place a couple of glue dots behind the reindeer and then cover with silver metal
