Tip of the Day:  An easy way to reference your images from your Cricut Cartridge booklet is to assign a number to  them and write them in your booklet.  For example, there are 5 rows and 10 keys to each row.  I number mine 1.1, 1.2, 1.2 etc.  I write them in the corner of each page.  When I make notes for future reference,  it is easy to locate the image I used in the past.

Looking At You!

 Hello everyone!   It is time to post a card I did for week's  Top Tip Tuesday Challenge.  We are to create a card.... anything but square.   Does rectangle count?  I hope so.....  When I pulled out my Cricut Expression to make flourishes I realized that I have been missing some of the cute things that could be done on my Cricut.  Therefore, I am going to begin incorporating Cricut and other cards in along with my Copic cards.  That way.... things will stay fresh for you.
Remember how much fun you had  as a child with things that would "spin"?  My mother was raised in very difficult economic times and she would make the things she would give me.   I remember her making me pinwheels that she would attach to a stick.   I always had so much fun with that!  Well, I created a spinner card and just made me smile.... remembering those wonderful times!

This is "rectangle"   I just photographed it against orange (won't do that again!)  I hope that counts.   Anything but square!  LOL

Technique

• Spinner Card
• Cricut Expression

I made a ot of these cards a few years ago.  I believe my original recipe came from a blog from a wonderful  SU demonstrater named Angie.  Her blog can be found HERE

I wanted to make sure I gave Angie credit for her wonderful  tutorials!

1. Cut  heavy base cardstock at  6in x 6in  and score down the middle at 3 inches (landscape)  This makes your base card.  
2. Cut one  white cardstock at 5.25 in X 2.5in.  (This will add firmness to your card)
3. Cut Designer paper 5.5in X 2.5 in and layer on top of your white cardstock.
4. Cut a center line horizontally.   You can use a label punch  (extending it in length so there is plenty of room to slide!). If you do not have a label punch, you cut a long rectangular square with your blade)  Make certain to leave 0.75in or 3/4in on both ends . 
5. Attach dimentionals between the base card layer and your top layer in order to create a space.  
6. Create any image you want to use as a spinner image.   I used some spirals... they look like a "top" spinning when it is tipped.   Be creative.   
7. Attach your spinner  to a penny add a dimentional (mini round) to the other side of the penny and attach another penny.  
8. Slip the underside penny into the slotted center line you have  created.  Your top penny that is attached to the spinner image will rest outside the cut center groove.  The little mini dimentional you have between the two pennies will fit within the center groove you cut.   When you tip the card,  the spinner will slide down the entire length of the card.  
9. You may need to adjust it a little to allow it to spin rather than just slide.
10. You see why you needed to pop your top layer up from your card base.  You needed room to allow the inside penny to roll down the length of the card.   
11. Experiment with different images....  They all look so different.  
12. I attached Goofy to the front of the card. I cut it out with the Disney Mickey Mouse  Cricut cartridge .
13. Enjoy!

I

 This is square and it cannot be included in the challenge.  Anything but square!!! LOL   But I can certainly include it in my blog for you.

I also made this card in preparation for fall  with owl designer paper and cut an owl from my Cricut and used that as a spinner.  It was really cute!

Check out the challenge....   Top Tip Tuesday  It is always a lot of fun and you can pick up fabulous tips!!!!!

Tip for the Day:   Use pennies on your spinner cards.  I have tried many different things and a nickle is too heavy and  dimensionals alone  are not heavy enough.  Pennies add just the right amount of heaviness to allow your image to just spin, spin spin!!!

Check back really soon - I plan to upload a Copic card for a pastel challenge for  Copic Creations tomorrow!  We also have a fun challenge at Color Me Creative Copic Challenge
that will be posted on Sunday!  

Hugs,
Marie

Click image to enlarge

 I stamped the background of the focal image with "Bring the Bling" with a vry light ink by Memento called "Desert Sand" and then used Stickles on the spiral design.  I then used my Cuttleug to emboss the base card layer.   I used Cindy Loo Cricut Cart for my flourishes.  I put them together to form a heart and added pearls. 

I hope you have a fabulous day and weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.  Come back soon.  I will post the new Color Me Creative Challenge  Sunday.

A Big Fish Story

The purpose of  Teapot Tuesday's Challenge 153  is to create a card, inspired by the  story that our "mudder"   has provided for us.  It is a Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty!   To understand the inspiration story, you must check it out at our challenge for Teapot Tuesday  because  the mad tea party is still going!

This is my card and story for this challenge:

This is a fish tale  so listen carefully.  

 You may have not known that Golfsalot has a brother called Twosportsinone.  You see, he has a very long name too, just like his brother!   He is a very busy but wants to make sure he get’s his time for sporting into his schedule.  He is also a bery brilliant man so  so in keeping with his name, he tries to multitask and usually tries to do two sports in one.   Hence, the story…

Twosportsinone

 wanted to have some fun.

Fishing was his game,

but his golfing was very lame.

But  much to his surprise,

And right before his eyes,

He saw what he had done…

He scored a “hole in one”!

Tools: Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy, Paper Cutter (I use Fiskars), Scissors  (Tim HoltzTonic scissors are great for people with arthritis and painful joints . stamping block, Cuttlebug, Distressed Stripes embossing folder and  sponge Daubers.

Tip of the Day:  You can make shadows in the water, such as  trees, by turning the tree stamp upside down, masking the trees and stamping the upper part of the stamp over the water.  It works well to use a very light shade of grey and then stamp off the paper first to make it even lighter before stamping the water

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card and jump in and play along!

Marie

Tiny Teacher Toby Turtle

I was invited to join a new forum called "Teapot Tuesday".  No invite is necessary by the way- anyone can join through Splitcoast Stampers.   I decided to see what this was all about.  It is a bit of a stretch but I thought... why not!  Well after viewing a few cards and reading their stories  I had to pick myself up off the floor  while still laughing and dust myself off! (That alone says something about my housekeeping)!
So what is Teapot Tuesday all about?  You can read all about it  HERE.
This is what  this fun site is all about.

• Anyone is welcome to play! You automatically become a Teapotter the first time you play in our challenge.
• You can write a little story to go along with your card.  You do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the  picture  of the week and/or by the story,
• Have fun!
• this is your first Teapot Tuesday Challenge, please mention that in your commentary so we can be sure to greet you properly, in pure Teapot Tuesday fashion!
• Every last Tuesday of the month is Tickle A Teapotter Week! You can choose to send your card to a selected "destination" if you desire.  Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun! 

Well ..... this is my first go at it....  The challenge for this week is:

WELCOME TO TEAPOT TUESDAY
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TEAPARTY
AND CHALLENGE #152

Back to School, Back to School
To learn to count would be so cool!


Back to School, Back to School!
To prove that we are not a fool!


Back to School, Back to School!
I'm sure there's not a single rule!

 

Tiny Teacher Toby Turtle

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
Lewis Carroll

(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)

Unlike Alice, Tiny Teacher Toby Turtle knows just where he is going. He knows when he will get there because he knows that the school is just 152 steps from his home. Teacher Toby also knows that 152 is also his age (in human years, that it).   He is diligently counting his steps.. When he finishes making 152 steps, he will be at Turtle School where he will teach all the other little turtles how to count so they will not lose their way in this life!
