Quacktastic Wheel Spinner Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I am thrilled to share a super fun interactive card featuring the February release from Picket Fence Studios. This Quacktastic Wheel Spinner Card brings an extra touch of whimsy with adorable ducklings that spin around a central sentiment.

For a detailed guide on how I stamp multiple images efficiently, be sure to check out my previous blog post: Lucky Ducky Greetings with Picket Fence Studios. I used the leftover stamped images from that project to create this one! To watch this card in action head on over to my Instagram Reels for the latest video.

Creating the Spinner Wheel
  • Blending the Background – Using the Scene Building A2 Stencil Set, I blended out the background to create a soft sky effect with fluffy clouds and grassy fields using Distress Oxide Inks.
  • Marking the Center – I used a T-Square Ruler to find the center of my card, ensuring smooth spinning action. 
  • Adding the Button – The button acts as the pivot point where the rings spin. Use a small circle die (slightly bigger than the button) to die-cut the opening. Glue the background to the card base. Then glue the button to the opening, and set aside to dry completely.
  • Cutting the Circles & Rings – I die-cut two rings using the same smaller circle die from the previous step and a couple of large circle dies, the 2.0" and the 2.5" Connected Circles Shaker Creator Die. The larger ring is what the Duckies are Glued to and the smaller ring is to elevate the spinner mechanism. In hindsight, they could have been the same size.

  • Layering the Ducklings – Once I glued the Duckies to the larger ring, I then die-cut and adhered a blank coordinating die behind each duck to add strength and rigidity. This helps them spin smoothly without bending.
  • Assembling the Spinner – Glue the smaller ring behind the duck layer to lift the spinner mechanism, allowing for a seamless rotation. Place the spinner opening over the button.
  • Hiding the Button – To cover the center button, I die-cut a final circle, decorated it with stamped elements, and added the sentiment, "You Are Quacktastic" and glued it to the button.

Inside the card, I stamped the phrase "Have a Lucky Ducky Birthday" to complement the cheerful front. This makes for a delightful interactive birthday card that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face!

Spring-Inspired Valentine’s Window Balcony Scene Card | Honey Bee Stamps

A handmade card with a spring-inspired Valentine’s Day theme featuring a pink embossed brick background, a white die-cut window with a black balcony, and greenery adorned with pink flowers. A 3D red bow with a heart accent sits at the top of the window, while a die-cut bird perches on the balcony. The card has a bold "Hello" sentiment in red at the bottom, creating a cheerful and dimensional design.

Hello friends!

Looking for a unique way to craft a spring-inspired Valentine’s card? This see-through Window Balcony Scene card is perfect for spreading love and creativity. Using Honey Bee Stamps supplies, I created a detailed, dimensional card featuring a charming springtime balcony. Here’s how you can recreate this beautiful design! For those who want to watch this come together, click HERE to see my latest Instagram REEL.

CARD RECIPE

  1. Rustic Brick Wall Embossing Folder: For the soft pink embossed background.

    • Tip: Mist the paper lightly with water before embossing to prevent cracking.

  2. Lovely Layers: Window Die Set: For the intricate window, balcony, and greenery.

    • Ink-blend the edges of the greenery with black ink to add depth and shadow.
    • Add pink ink blending to the center of the flowers and top them with pink pearls from the Gingerbread Pearl Sticker Set for a soft touch.

  3. Lovely Layers: Pinecone Die Set: For the adorable 3D bow.

  4. Heart Hugs Die Set: Add a sweet heart to the bow for a Valentine’s vibe.

  5. Lovely Layers: April Showers: The charming bird brings life to the balcony scene.

  6. Great Greetings: Everyday Die Set: For the bold “Hello” sentiment, tying the entire card together.

The card has a bold "Hello" sentiment in red at the bottom, creating a cheerful and dimensional design.

Make It See-Through

  • To create the see-through window, die-cut both the top layer and the top of the card base simultaneously using the same die through the die-cut machine. This will ensure both layers are perfectly aligned. If the bottom layer doesn’t cut all the way through, the die’s impression will serve as a guide to easily align and cut it again. I didn't use this method initially because I hadn’t planned to make the window see-through. As a result, it took a little more time to carefully align the top layer with the card base opening.

I love how cute this card turned out. The combination of soft pinks, lush greenery, and intricate details makes this card perfect for spring and Valentine’s Day!

CARD RECIPE #1

Tip: If your glaze/paste has lost moisture from not being used in a while, remove the needed amount from the container, add water, and mix well to reactivate it. I like to transfer the glaze into a plastic shot cup for mixing. Add small amounts of water at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

To add dimension to the sentiment, I die-cut the words three times, glued, and stacked them before applying the sparkly glaze layer.

I used one of the Fabulous Foiling Festive Halloween A2 Card Fronts on the inside of the card. This should leave enough room to add a personalized message.
