Grab a cup of cocoa and share the love with your favorite bunny! At least that's what this image says to me. lol I don't mind making Christmas cards. We're having beautiful, sunny weather in the Pacific Northwest. I spent a few hours yesterday making jam and painting. At least I'll have most of my Christmas gifts made early. There's a first time for everything! :-)

 

I love the clean lines of the images in the Wonderful Winterland stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. I've used the kid on the innertube on a penny spinner card here. I even used the same pattern of paper - from the Snow Festival dsp pack. I prepped this card for a 10-card class on Tuesday. It was great to be able to use the girls' sketch challenge from Pink Paper Bakery.

 

 

There's still time to pull something together for the Card Cafe over at PPB. You have until Noon Friday (PST). At the very least, check out the talented designers!

 

In the meantime, I'm going back to painting, which is only the second step in the project I've undertaken. I'll share what I'm making when I get done. It's for a HUGE holiday gift fair next month. Ah, life is good. Enjoy!

Wonderful Winterland penny spinner card

Bear with me as I write several posts today. I have been taking photos and getting things organized in my stamp area in preparation for another busy week. I have many more Christmas cards to post. I'm not all about Halloween, though I do enjoy it!

I love cards with movement! And this penny spinner Wonderful Winterland card is so fun and easy to make. This was one of my club projects this month.

I started with a Baja Breeze card, running the front through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Using the Apothecary Accents Framelits, I diecut this oval-like shape from Snow Festival dsp, then used the Word Window punch to punch through both layers 2+ times, making a track on which the spinner will rest.

The spinner is a penny, two dimensionals on top of each other, and a second penny. Then I stuck two dimensionals side by side on the outside of one penny and stuck it to the back middle of my "medallion" - the kid innertubing. I used a combination of markers and ink pads with a blender pen to color the image, outlining the entire thing in Sahara Sand to make the other colors pop.
