Blast Off - Spinner card

My super fun brother-in-law is like a big kid at heart! He really is wonderful and I thought with his recent birthday that a spinner card would be right up his alley!!
With Space on the brain with our current Unit study (SEE HERE) I picked up the Blast off stamp set and got to work making a "male" looking birthday spinner card.

 

 

I know that glitter is not the usual for guys but it screams stars and space to me so it was a must in my book!
My son Ezekiel helped me design the planets to go on, telling me that there HAD TO be a red spot on Venus to make it "right" and that the world (which I hand drew) needed to have all the countries.... I couldn't fit them all on!

 

I even decorated the inside of the card and markered TIM for the flag! Needless to say he LOVED the card and had great delight in spinning it over and over!! When he showed the rest of my family (at the family dinner) Allan pipped up and said
"Yeah I know it's called a Spinner card!!" then promptly said "I can't believe I know what it's called!!" HA!! We all roared with laughter!!! You just never know what things our fabbo hubbies are picking up when we talk "craft" to them!!

Spinner card with Pinwheel die - Paper Dolls stamp club {June}

Have you played with the sweet little Pinwheel Die?? It's in the Seasonal Mini and sadly wont be making it to the main new catty (released on Mon 1st July!) in saying that neither will the cloud embossing folder (SAD FACE) so with this in mind I HAD TO use them for my Paper Dolls stamp club this month!!
A very long time ago I made a spinner card, it was cool and makes a very fun children's card!! I thought it was time to do it again and the Pinwheel die is PERFECT! I saw this card HERE and made one myself.
My Paper Doll ladies LOVED IT, there were plenty of "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee" being said as they saw their card come to life!

For the second card we used the Pinwheel again with the same greeting (from Bring on the Cake which is crossing over to the new catty, YAY!) and made some grass. Have you tried this??? You know when you "muck up" your scallop edge punching?? Well that's grass!!! You'll laugh when you end up with a perfect scallop edge that then you have to some how MUCK UP to get your grass!!! Funny!!

The DSP I used is also from the mini, it's called Sprinkles and Sunshine and is sooo sweet and bright and fun too. I have a scrapbook page I'll show you with it soon.

 

Lastly I made this groovy Elephant card with the You're Amazing stamp set and the retiring DSP that matches! He looks soooo cool as he spins around!!
