Ginger Bread Boy Spinner

 
This my latest swap card and I couldn't wait to make this little guy into a spinner card.  We were to use the embossng folder and a Framelit.  I made two versions because the little guy kept catching on the embossed folder.  I added the Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon but it needs to be high enough that he doesn't catch on it too.  The stamp set is from the new Scentsational Season stamp set and the Holiday Collection Framelits, but I also used Got Treats stamp set for the verse "Got Merry?"  I also used Be of Good Cheer DSP. The colors are Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede.  I used the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch.  The Embossing Folder is called Houndstooth.  Some of the accessories I used were double-sided tape, two pennies.  I also used Dimensionals and Pearl Basic Jewels.

Field Flowers and Papillon Potpourri



As promised, here is a card I made for a swap in July. I was inspired by the sample in the catalog on page 181.  However, I changed the colors to Pool Party and Midnight Muse.  The stems and leaves are with Always Artichoke.  I also added the Scallop Ribbon Border instead of the Seam Binding ribbon.  The stamp set is called Field Flowers, but I also added the butterfly from the stamp set "Papillon Potpourri" and stamped it on Pool Party card stock with Midnight Muse ink and then added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  I added the new Large Scallop Edgelit and Finishing Touches Edgelits on the right side of my card as well as using the Apothecary Accent Framelit and the Paper Piercing Tool and Essentials Paper Piercing Pack template.
