Priceless Penny Spinner

I have lost count of how many of these spinner cards I have made but everytime I get a new lady to class they always seem to want to make one...so here is version upteenth! Have to admit, you can't help yourself tipping that card from side to side to see that butterfly spin lol. I have used Pocket Silhouettes and the tiny flower from priceless to stamp the foreground and teh top was embossed with Vintage Wallpaper

Elegant Lines

This is another card for challenge 107 over at Late Night Stampers...It's a super easy one ! Embossed the top piece of cardstock using the Elegant Lines embossing folder which was then stuck to a white card base. The sentiment is from Heard from the Heart and the heart image is from the Priceless set...a quick card in under five minutes...my kind of card lol

Priceless bookmark

I am always trying to think of simple little "bonus" projects I can include in my stamp classes..one of my regular class ladies suggested a magnetic bookmark...cool!

This is a great way to use up those skinny scraps! This one measures 1 1/2 inches x 11...(do you do that??sometimes I work in inches, sometimes I work in cm...my dodgey eyes see better in inches lol...). Just fold in half, stamp the front and pierce around the edges

On the inside I have used sticky strip to attach some strips of rubber magnet to the bottom of the front and back..I have personally test driven this one and it's the best bookmark I have ever had because the magnets keep it firmly in place...even if you drop your book! I found a roll of the magnet at the junk shop for a dollar but you could always cut up those advertising magnets you get for free in your letterbox.

This next card isn't mine but made by kerry who is one of my regular class ladies...I thought it was so clever the way she used the tree from Pendant Park for peacock feathers. The body is the pheasant stamp from..err..name escapes me but it's in the current catalogue...she just chopped off his tail...way to go Kerry, very innovative!

A bit more punch art

Thought I would share some more of my punch art creations. If you would like to make some of these yourself you can purchase the Zoo Animal tutorial from Paper Punch Addiction

I have had so much fun doing these punch art cards...in my previous obsession (as a scrapbooker) I would spend hours making paper piecings, so this really satisfies my " fiddling about" cravings.

I need a small circle punch so I can give my penguin cheeks next time...he is still cute though

And now for something non punch related..I have always wanted to have a go at a secret panel card but thought it would be too tricky for little old me so I have never attempted it...but I got brave this afternoon and had a go at one...and guess what...they are SO easy!!!!. I have used the Priceless stamp set which was a gift from my upline Angie Brown...HOW NICE IS THAT! It has been on my wish list for a long time so I was thrilled to get it (thankyou Angie!!) I am thinking those swirls will make a pretty Christmas card too...anway this is the outside of the secret panel card...just noticed how badly I muffed that punched edge...I could be arrested by the card making police for that poor effort!

This is the card opened up....

...and this is the secret panel opened up....and another blunder....should have used a different stamp instead of happy birthday again...that's another warrant out for my arrest. I had so much fun making this card I think I will do it as a project at my kids class next week...with some icky bugs perhaps!

If you would like to try one of these just google secret panel card...I did that and found some great you tube videos

I think that's enough creating for one day, I have a kitchen full of dirty dishes and a mountain of washing to fold..yay for me!! Don't forget to check back on teh 24th for the ESAD blog hop!
