Butterfly Friendship Inside Spinner Card

Yesterday I participated in the Thin Cuts Blog Hop with fellow CTMH consultants. I created an inside spinner card for my project. Once I had it complete I knew that I would be asked how to recreate it, and that I should of made a video to show the process.






















So I set to work getting everything together so that I could create a video to share the process with you all. 

Thanks for coming back to watch!

For this Blog Hop I decided to have some fun and try my hand at an inside spinner card.  I will do a process video to share with you on how to create this fun card.

I used Bluebird cardstock for the base, and the inside of the card is White Daisy Cardstock.  The stamps used on this card is January SOTM, I Heart Us Cardmaking stamp set, and Butterfly Friend ship stamp and thin cut set.  The other Thin cut used was the large circle Thin cut.  I used Bluebird, Carolina, Sweetleaf, Mint, Sage, Raspberry, Canary, Pixie, Charcoal and Black ink to create this card.

Here is a quick video to show how this card works.

February SOTM Blog Hop - Heartfelt Sentiments

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

We will be featuring February's SOTM, which is Heartfelt Sentiments, a set of 9 stamps.  If you have come here from Cat's blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around.  If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants on Melinda’s Blog. 

This month we have approximately 22 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using thisFebruary's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

For my project I wanted to keep it simple, so I used the new watercolor pencils, and I really love how smoothly they color images, and the blend together seamlessly.  To blend the colors I used the clear Shimmer Brush because I wanted that shimmer on the card.  The image is a bit larger than an A2 card, so I decided to create a frame for the image using the new Rectangle Thin Cuts.  The final touches were adding some clear gems.  The frame is cut from the pink stripe paper in the Something Fierce collection.

Here is a close up to see the shimmer on the banner and the flowers.  You can also see the tones of color in the banner and on the large pink flowers.

Now "Hop" on over to Jean's blog to see her work! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, the February SOTM is only available until February 28th!  Contact your CTMH Consultant (or click here) to see how you can get this stamp set at a discount!
