Tumbling Hedgehog ... Circle Spinner Card

By
I've a fun spinner card to share today, a cute hedgehog tumbling amongst leaves to wish a fellow crafter a Happy Birthday.

After using circle dies to cut the aperture and smaller centre circle from a piece of white card I die cut lots of leaves from a piece of brusho background, sticking and overlapping them before running the panels through an embossing folder for an embedded embossing technique.


Then it was just a case of mounting the panels with foam tape over some patterned paper on my card base and slotting in the penny spinner.

My sandwich for the spinner element was two card circles with a small foam circle in between adding the penny on top.

The little hedgehog was stamped, coloured with promarkers then attached on top of the penny adding some glossy accents for a little extra shine.  Sentiment was added to the centre circle die cut from an adhesive pearlised textured sheet.



 I've used - 6x6 card base
Brusho paints; mag freebie leaf die
Xcut Moroccan Star embossing folder
Unbranded stitched circle dies
Mag freebie hedgehog stamp
Promarkers
Dovecraft sentiment die
Xcut adhesive pearlised textured sheet




I'd like to play along with Sunday Stamps fun colour challenge SSC185 all the colours are used and may be a few extra too ...

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP. I've used -   4x4" & A6 card bases Sizzix thinlits Tim Holtz festive repeat & circle words Christmas dies Mag freebies - foliage die, sentiment stamp, tree EF Linking up wit
