Pop Out and Spin card with the Lift Me Up stamp set

Hi Everyone! Today I thought I would share a card from the Stamp Camp I held last weekend.  This was a fun card and although I don't think I will make a ton of them, it is a fun card to know how to make for that special someone who loves cards that move! The Hot Air Balloon spins around on the skewer by means of a string the pulls when you open and close the card.  It sounds trick and it does take some paying attention to what your doing, but I think anyone can make it! and for so many occasions.  You can make just about anything spin! Hearts for Valentine's Day, stars, butterflies, whatever you like.  I already plan a ballerina saved from a stamp set last Christmas called Sugar Plum Dreams. 




 For this card I used a stamp set called Lift Me Up.  It features hot air balloons and I choose it because I really wanted to use the "Best Route" designer series paper.  For the month of July, there are 10 select Designer Series Paper collection on sale buy 3 get 1 FREE!  I love this promotion.  It is one of my favorites because even if I already have what's on sale, I can use more,  because paper gets used up! In fact I am already mostly finished with this Best Route pack, and should probably get another, along with some Wood Textures, Under the Mistletoe, and a forth for free, but I don't know which yet! 

Here is the front of the card when closed.  I have a template for the cuts to the inner piece, you can print it out here.

Fidget Spinner Birthday Card

 Hi Everyone!  I have a quick post and video to share that is only going to appeal to a limited audience.  If you have an elementary or middle school kid, you know what a Fidget Spinner is.  They are all over and my kids have them, as it seems all kids do. I see kids with them at restaurants and my friends who are teachers tell me that they have to confiscate them from kids several times a day.  So, even though I am not a fan, the kids are, so this card is for them :)   My youngest son and daughter both have birthday parties coming up, so I thought these would be fun to make.  I saw one on YouTube by a person named Maymay, and made my own version using Stampin' Up! products.
I used the Number of Years stamp set, such a great set, and the Party Animal designer series paper for my card.  I have a template here if you want to trace it.
