Spinner cards are fun to make and fun for the recipient to open!
Wind ’em up, tuck them in their envelope and when it comes out, it spins!

Watch my video below to see it spin:

Before I get in to this week’s video and projects, Stampin’ Up has surprised with FREE shipping for one day, TUESDAY July 23rd, on orders of $75 or more!
Sometimes we all need a little jump start to creativity! One new addition to the annual catalog is a page with card sketches. They are SO useful as a jumping off point when you sit down to make a card. How many times have you needed a card idea only to disappear for an hour online to find an idea? (yes, I can raise my hand on this one too)
On page 22 at the bottom of the page, there are 22 sketches. (did they plan that? 22 sketches on page 22?) Anyway, this week I used 2 sketches with 2 different ideas each.

Here is my video:

This pretty designer paper will be retiring. It’s called Fresh As A Daisy, 12 x 12, and I used this sheet to make the card below. No stamping needed except for the sentiment. I didn’t use the border dies on this one but I liked it so wanted to share:


Well, a little stamping on the inside of the card:) The sentiment is from a stamp set not in a catalog called Comforting thoughts. It says what is hard to say when someone has cancer or is sick.
COMFORTING THOUGHTS #163691 $20


I’ll be back here on Tuesday for the big sale!
With 2 catalogs retiring, there are a lot of items on the last chance list!
