Spinner Square Pop Up

I made this card for my cat-loving coworker.  I used an Action Wobler underneath Whiskers the Cat.  I used the Speech Bubble Edgy Options to stamp the sentiment.

Oh what fun awaits inside!  I am using Karen Burniston's new Spinner Square Pop Up for the inside of my card.  You can see Whiskers peeking out from behind the square.

With the card opened fully, Whiskers sits behind the greeting.  This is a very fun interactive die set.  I adhered the spinner portion of the die in the middle of the card.  But, I adhered the square towards the bottom of the card so my other coworkers will have more room to sign their names.

Happy Stampin',

Crazy 4 Challenges - Zoo Lovers Day

It's time for the Crazy 4 Challenges Zoo Lovers Day challenge!  The team is to feature animals (wild or not) on our cards.  I chose to use this opportunity to make a birthday card for my neighbor who happens to be a cat lover.

 I decided to use this leopard print paper for Whiskers the Cat.....meow.  I stamped the sentiment onto a Labels & Circles die cut and have Whiskers peeking out from the label.  I added Glitter Dots to her collar and one for the mouse eye too.  

I used Lucy Label for the pop up on the inside of my card.  I added another Whiskers to the little top bump, a sentiment, and some glitter washi tape finish off this purrrfect card.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Hat Attack

Don't loose your head, because it's time for Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge! It's a Hat Attack!  Karen challenged the team to use any hat from any of her Props sets on our cards.  I was watching a video from Els van de Burgt when I got the idea to use the Ring Accordion to make a double slider card.  It's so fun to watch both Whiskers slide around the card.  

Turn the card a little bit and Whiskers will slide up and around.  I kept the pivot points because I didn't want a collision of the Whiskers - but you can also cut the pivot points off and Whiskers will go full circle.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to mimic my friends' cats.  Yes, I know one cat has one blue eye and one green eye - this card was made especially for her and her kitties.....and yes, he does have different colored eyes in real life.

And because I know curious minds want to know how......here's a photo.  I die cut some fun foam using the Ring Accordion die, cut away a channel large enough for the circle washers to move along.  This piece doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to function.  The foam in the center channel is what the die will cut and typically would not be needed; however I simply cut it shorter and used it as my slider.  I sandwiched that piece with (2) 3/4" circle punches and then adhered Whiskers to the top.  

For the inside, I used Happy Birthday Pop Up, Props 2, and Pull Card Edges.  What cat lover wouldn't love to receive this card?

Check out Karen's blog tomorrow as she will have a video tutorial for her "Hat Attack"!

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Flower or Flour

It's time for Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge!  This month, the theme is "Flower or flour".  I wanted to do flour because Buster the Dog looks so cute in a chefs hat courtesy of Props 8.  I used the new Labels and Circles die as a backdrop for my sentiment.

Then my idea was to have Buster baking Whiskers the Cat.  I made the oven from Karen's new die called Flower Pot Pop Stand.  To make the pot look more like an oven, I used the circles from Ring Frame Edges and the rectangle from House Accessory.  To get Whiskers to fit into the oven, I cut off his tail and I cut 2 slits near his legs.  Then I just slid him down into the oven.

I added a few mice to keep Whiskers company.  Don't worry, Whiskers is planning his payback on Buster I'm sure.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed this card.  Don't forget to check out Karen's blog tomorrow where she will have a video tutorial for the challenge.
