Stolen My Heart - Valentine Raccoon Spinner Card | Honey Bee Stamps Day 1 Sneak Peeks

Hello and welcome to Day 1 Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps Love Letters Release. Make sure you stop by the Honey Bee Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team featuring more day 1 product reveals!

My spinner card today features the new STOLEN MY HEART Stamps and Dies, plus a bunch more of Honey Bee Stamps supplies. (Please note links will not be active until products go live on RELEASE DAY - Saturday 1/2 @ 11pm EST.)

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I started with creating the opening on the top part of a square card base using a heart from the PIERCED XOXO HEART DIES. I then used the same heart die to cut the heart from a piece of pattern paper that came from the SPRING LULLABY PAPER PAD. To finish off the top layer I die cut the paper with the largest frame from the DOUBLE STITCHED SQUARE DIES.  I then set these pieces aside to work on the spinning raccoon.

On a piece of Neenah cardstock, I stamped out the image of the raccoon from the new STOLEN MY HEART stamp set and then colored it in using Copic markers and then die cut it using the coordinating STOLEN MY HEART DIES. Next, I die cut another blank shape of the raccoon image to create the backside of the raccoon.

I used a fine tip Micron pen to outline the image, I then drew in the tail to create the illusion of the raccoon's backside, and then colored it in. I then sandwiched a clear nylon thread in between the two die-cut pieces. 

To create the spinner, I then taped down the top thread to the top of the card base,  centering the raccoon in the center of the heart opening and then repeating the same thing with the bottom string. To secure the spinner in place and finish off the front I glued the pattern piece that I had done previously to the front panel.

To the inside, I used the same heart from the PIERCED XOXO HEART DIE, and added the pink heart to fit in the opening of the card. To the heart, I added some stenciled some glittery arrows using glimmer paste and CUPIDS ARROW STENCIL.

To finish off this spinner card, I added some clay hearts from the SWEETHEARTS CLAY HEARTS. I also used a red Copic marker to match the same color I used on the raccoon's heart and then topped the hearts off with some glossy accents. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I will be back tomorrow with day 2 Sneak Peeks!

Knockout Birthday Spinner Card | Ink On 3

Ka-Pow! Ink On 3 just released a super cute stamp set Knockout Nibbles. Super fun, a perfect set for Dad or for masculine and/or even feminine cards if they are into the boxing scene.

CARD DETAILS

For my card today I thought it would be fun to create a spinner card that would spin the little hamster around the circle opening to make him look like he was super excited about knocking out his opponent.

I began by stamping out the images from Knockout Nibbles using Blackout Ink and then colored them in using Copic Markers. I did stamp two of the hamsters with boxing gloves in the air, as I wanted to finish the back side of the spinner with the same image. I then die cut the images out using the Coordinating Dies. Now even though the hamster isn't symmetrical, the die cut was close enough that I was able to use it rather than creating a mirrored image for the backside of the spinner.

To create the spinning hamsters, I attached a clear thread to the backside of one of the hamsters using a really strong tape adhesive then glued on the other hamster to sandwich in the clear thread. Just make sure you leave the thread long enough to attach to the top and bottom of the window opening.

To the front of the card base, I die cut an opening for the spinning element to spin using a circle die. I then stamped out the two starburst like stamps using Distress Oxide inks and then sprinkled Crystal Clear embossing powder on them to heat set the images.

Next, I die cut another circle (smaller than the previous one) from a piece of blue cardstock to fit behind the window. I then attached the threads of the spinning hamster to the blue piece of cardstock that was then sandwiched with white cardstock to finish off the inside of the card.

Once the spinner was in place I then glued the popped up elements to the front of the card. To embellish, I added white pen highlights, Liquid Pixie Dust to the black eye, and the "O" in pow, and then added glossy accents to the boxing gloves. I also added Prisma glitter sparkle to a few spots on the card front but they don't show up on well in these photos.

On the inside, I added the Happy Birthday Champ right behind the hamster so that you wouldn't see it if the card was flat. And then just below the opening, I added the rest of the greeting.

To see this card in action make sure you are following me on →Instagram as I will share a video clip of it in motion.

I had so much fun creating this Knockout Birthday Spinner Card. I hope you were inspired. Can't wait to give this card to the next little guy who celebrates a birthday in the family!
