Day 2 Sneak Peek Honey Bee Stamps 5th Anniversary Release

Hello, again my friends! Welcome to Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps 5th Anniversary Release. Today's card features the Far Out Friends Stamp and Dies and the Stellar Sentiments Stamp set.  All products will go live at Midnight EST 4/17, so the links below will not be active until then.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the cute little astronaut and the moon from the Far Out Friends Stamp set and colored them in using Copic markers. To the astronaut's helmet, I added a layer of glossy accents and set it aside to dry.

The background was created using alcohol inks on Yupo paper that I then sprayed with white pigment ink to create the galaxy like background.

To create movent and add an interactive element to my card I die cut a circle in the center of the background. To the astronaut, I glued a piece of string to the top of the helmet, this will limit its movement once it is all put together. I also glued a button on his back, smaller than the opening I had created on the background. To keep the astronaut from falling out the front, I die cut a larger circle and glued it the button.

To ensure the astronaut moved freely, I cut 3 cardstock panels, slightly smaller than the card front and then die cut a large circle opening and glue the 3 panels onto the back of the galaxy panel. The space in the center allows for the disk I created to have space to move freely allowing the astronaut to spin. I also tucked the string from the astronaut's helmet between the card front and the card base before gluing it together.

Now, that I explained how I created the spinner mechanism, I will now show you another card using the same process with this cute girl astronaut.

The galaxy was done the same way, only this time I did not cover the entire panel.

The spinner mechanism is this time under the moon she is standing on. The length of the string on the helmet is what determines how much rotation and movement she gets.

For the moon sentiment, I did use the coordinating STELLAR SENTIMENT DIES.

If you want more of a visual on creating a spinner I have an older video HERE for you to watch.
