Spinning Card – More Than Pie

Hey everyone, today I’m using the More than Pie stamp set. I noticed the bear that wasn’t holding any pie and wanted to surround him with pies!

Using acetate, I created a spinner wheel for the pies to stick to and spin around the bear. For the bear to be in front, I had to create a stationary piece that the pies can move freely behind. That’s where foam tape comes in handy.

It’s a bit hard to explain in words, so I’m also including my YouTube Video Tutorial for it.

Regardless, I think the card comes out to be really cute and it’s an easy card made interactive by adding a brad to it. The acetate also makes it look like the pies are floating as long as you don’t look too closely.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this card and checked out the video to learn how to create one as well. Supplies are also listed below.

Thanks for visiting and I’m sure I’ll be back with another card for you guys soon.

Mix and Matching Stamps

Sometimes, you just want to mix and match stamp sets and that’s what I did. I used three sets of Gerda Steiner stamps: Moody Unicorn, Hippo with Butterly, Hoppiness. They work really well together.

Since the main card is focused on the different animals, I wanted to use a background that was colorful and fun. I’ve been really enjoying playing with distress oxide inks lately. Even though I don’t have many of them, I love how I was able to use three of them (Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Fossilized Amber) to create six different colors, essentially the rainbow! I sprinkled a bit of water and picked it up with a paper towel. And if that wasn’t enough, I wanted to add a little pizzazz so I used the gold color from the Finetec watercolor palette and sprinkled it over the background. It’s a bit hard to pick up in the pictures but you can see how subtly pretty it makes the background. I’m in love!

I really loved how this card turned out and I hope you all enjoyed it too. Have a great day!!!

I wanted to do something fun, and I really just wanted to use every stamp in the set. The best part is that since the card is pretty flat, you don’t expect the piggies to move but they do! They float in the water!

Vellum paper
Distress Inks
