Love Cats - Head Over Heels | Penny Spinner

Hello my stamping friends.

So, this might sound weird, but I’m sure I’m not alone… do you ever all of a sudden have a great idea for a card project?  I woke up last week and just knew I had to do a spinner card with this LOVE CATS stamp set.  So that’s the project I am sharing today!

It’s not as difficult as you might think.  It’s two pennies, a couple of dimensionals, and a cut slit in the card so the penny disc can spin and roll along the opening.  The rest is just regular card making skills.

So I have a Stampin’ Show & Tell video to show you this project from start to finish.  Leave me a comment here or over on the YT Post. Let me know if you might try this one as well.

Happy Stamping,

Quick Step Tutorial

1. Make your card front, 4 x 5 ¼. Use a die-cut or paper punch to open a ¼ opening in the panel.  This is where your penny spinner will roll.

2. For the penny spinner sandwich, layer: penny, mini dimensional (in the middle of penny), positioned between the front and back of the panel, then another penny.  

3. Add the image to the top penny with another dimensional.

Love Cats - Hi There!

Hello my stamping friends.

Today I have another Love Cats project for you and this one also features the Picture This Dies.  I actually received a demo swap project recently and that inspired me to create one of my own.  Here’s the card I received from Robin Greer.

I changed the colors and textures, but the card is all laid out the same.  I used my Stamparatus to stamp the images all onto one piece of cardstock and then die-cut it with the Picture This Die.  Be sure to check out the Show & Tell video demonstration to see how.

Quick Step Tutorial

1. Start by making a template of the Picture This die.  Be sure it’s the same size as your cardstock that you will be stamping and cutting on.  4 x 5 ¼ works well.

2. Now use the Stamparatus and your paper template to position the cat stamps onto the clear arms of your stamping tool.  I put two on one side of the clear panel, and use the second side for the third image.

3. If necessary, for better coverage of ink on the stamped cat images, repeat the ink and stamping on the Stamparatus.  Remember, if you use your magnets to keep your paper secure, repeat stamping is easy!

4. Then use the die and die-cut the cat images you stamped.  Also die-cut the Tahihan Tide 4 x 5 ¼ panel for the card front.  

5. Dry emboss the Tahihan Tide panel after die-cutting if you want to add texture.

6. Ink the HI THERE on the sentiment stamp  with a marker, then stamp on scrap Basic White cardstock.  Use the same die to die-cut the words out.

7. Now position all the pieces on the card front.  I used liquid glue to position 3 - 1x1 squares of DSP behind the smaller holes in the die-cut.  Then repeat with the three cats.  Then the Tahihan Tide is positioned with dimensionals. And then add the sentiment.
