A Card a Day in May--Day 9!!
/Happy Monday everyone! May 9th card for this month is a spinner card! I have had the Give it a Whirl Dies for an entire YEAR and just make a whirl card with them! Hard to believe isn’t it??
I decided to use the Nothings Better Than stamp set (a definite fan favorite) for this card as it has 3 images. This is important for the whirl card because you have three image windows for the spinning component that you need to have. And coffee, cookies and chocolate are a universal favorite, I thought this card could work for anyone!
I wanted to use the new Tahitian Tide and Sweet Sorbet In Colors as well and grounded them on a Crumb Cake base. However, now that I look at this card it has a definite Captain America feel to me. Hahaha!
The background was easy to create as I put all three words —Cookies, Coffee and Chocolate on a block at once to stamp in Tahitian Tide ink. So quick and easy!
The images were colored with Stampin’ Blends in the Tahitian Tide, Crumb Cake and the SU 500 neutral Blend color.
‘Because Adulting is Hard’ is stamped in Sweet Sorbet and cut with one of the shapes from the Give it a Whirl Dies. I also used the dies to cut some stitched little stars to add as an embellishment along with some Sweet Sorbet twine.
Overall, putting this whirl card together was a lot less intimidating than I thought! Who doesn’t love a cute interactive card? I also thought it could make a fun gift card holder too where you could add a gift card to get either a coffee, cookie or chocolate! I know I would love it if this showed up in my mailbox!
I cut a 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Tahitian Tide card stock and used the circle from the Give it a Whirl Dies to cut a little dip for the gift card. I stamped the card stock the same way as the front panel.
‘Just for You’ is from the Celebrating You stamp set and is die cut with a shape from the same dies. I also added a little Crumb Cake twine behind the sentiment.
If you haven’t tried this die set out yet, I recommend it. I had been using the stitched clouds all year long but this was my first go at a whirly card! Its absolutely FUN!
