Reach for the Stars | Interactive Card | Heffy Doodle Stamps

Hello Friends!

Today I am SUPER excited to be Guest Designing on the Heffy Doodle Blog. I think you will love the card I'm sharing today because it is literally out of this world! I absolutely love how it turned and hope you do too!

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the cute images from Spaced Out Stamp (SSS | SB | HD) set and colored them in using Copic markers. I then die cut them out using the coordinating Spaced Out Dies (SSS | SB | HD). To add a layer of shine I used glossy accents on the astronaut's helmet, the stars, and the rocket's window and set them aside to dry while I worked on the rest of the card. 

Here is a picture of the Copic Markers I used in case you are interested.

The next thing I did was create a galaxy background using alcohol inks on Yupo paper. To give it a more galaxy like feel I splattered the entire background with white pigment ink. To add some more interest and shine I used a quickie glue pen and traced some of the alcohol edges and then dropped some silver gilding flakes over the areas. I then lightly rubbed off anything that didn't stick to the glue with a soft paintbrush.

The coolest part of this card is that it is interactive. Watch the clip below to see it in action.

To make this card interactive I used a circle die (which actually was one of the dies from the coordinating Spaced Out Dies (SSS | SB | HD)) just make sure the circle you use is smalled that the object you are going to glue on top of it. In this case, I needed it to be smaller than the planet that the little astronaut's foot was glued too. Figure out where you want the planet to be and then use the circle die to cut out a circle in that spot.

Then using some scraps, cut out another circle using a larger circle die (in this case I used the coordinating die for the planet) and in the center of the die-cut circle glue to that a flat button or a spin disc if you have one (The button should be just slightly smaller than the opening on the panel to be able to move freely and not wiggle around too much). Once it's dry pop it through the opening that was previously made on the panel and glue another die cut circle to the top of it.

Add foam tape all along the back and edge of the alcohol background panel ensuring that the spinner mechanism doesn't touch the tape anywhere. Attach the panel to the card base.

Now that the spinner mechanism is done, you can glue the planet onto it. Before I did though, I attached a threat to the back of the astronaut using glue and then covered it with tape to ensure it wasn't going to catch on anything.

Attach the other end of the threat to the rocket and pop the rocket in place with foam tape and you're done! TIP: Leave extra length on the thread until you figure out how much you need to make the partial spin work (the length you leave will determine the range of the movement).

Watch the Astronaut in action!

On the inside, I combined a few stamps to personalize this birthday card and added some stars for fun!

Hope you enjoyed this card fun interactive Spaced Out Birthday card and were inspired to create.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Spin Me Round Like A Record | Spinning Rooster Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends!

Today I have a bit of a wacky card to share with you all. I was playing around one night with this Rooster I had stamped above from the SPRING CHICKS set, and if you know me I love rainbows, and so I thought it would be fun to color his tail feathers in rainbow bright colors. Once I was done coloring him in I die cut him out using the coordinating die and when I went to pop it out of the die, the die-cut fell to the floor and as it fell it did a little spin in the air which this spinner card.

CARD DETAILS

So now that the rooster was done, I die cut a record from the RECORD PLAYER | HONEY CUTS and glued the rooster to the middle of it. Next, I used the musical note background stencil from the SHEET MUSIC STENCILS set and used distress oxide inks to blend out the colorful rainbow background to which then I applied a layer of Moonstone Glimmer paste too.

To the front, I also added the Hey Chick Sentiment that comes from the SPRING CHICKS sentiment set and also stamped out the spin me and the arrow and white embossed on them on black cardstock from the ONE-OF-A-KIND set and then die cut the arrow with the coordinating die.

On the inside, I thought this sentiment from the FOR THE RECORD stamp set was quite fitting and now I that said that I can't get the classic 80's song from Dead or Alive out of my head now, lol!

The next few pictures are to help visualize how I created the mechanism for the record to spin on the card front. As you can see I had already glued the musical note panel to the card front and adhered the banner. 

So the first thing I did was figure out the center of where the record would be and the easiest way to do that was to use the record die and center opening to make a marking on the card for the next step. Using the one of the Medium-sized circle dies from the PENNY SHAKERS | HONEY CUTS set I die cut the opening on the card front as you see below. (I did have to break apart the die set only to remove one of the medium circles for this part, the rest of the die I left intact).

Next, I die cut all the Penny shaker circles out and then used what I needed to build a spinner mechanism. (One large circle die and 5 stacked small circles are what you see below that I have glued togther).

Now from the inside of the card, pop the spinner mechanism through as shown in the next picture.

Add a drop of glue to the top and top it off with a large circle die from the PENNY SHAKERS | HONEY CUTS. Now it's ready to add the record to the circle die using some strong adhesive.

Here is what you see on the top side of the front flap of the card when you open up the card.

 So I thought it would be fun to share the spinning Rooster in action so here is a little clip.

I hope you got some inspiration from this wacky and colorful Spin Me Round Like A Record Spinner Card today.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
