My card for you today is a quick & simple one to create.
After inking a stamp from the Helping Me Grow Stamp Set with Archival Black Ink, I stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Using a Blender Pen with Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo & Emerald Envy Inks, I colored the flower.
Using a Lots of Labels Framelit, I cut both the stamped image & a piece of Emerald Envy Cardstock. After cutting the Emerald Envy C.S. piece in half horizontally, I attached the top & bottom to my stamped image to create the look of a mat. This art piece is attached to the "dark" Designer Series Paper found in the Playful Palette 6×6 Stack. Notice that it is attached to the card base at a jaunty angle!
The sentiment & the label from Helping Me Grow are both stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. Thankfully, this coordinates with a Rose Garden Thinlit so no fussy cutting required. A Peekaboo Peach Stampin' Write Marker adds a dab of color to the word "thank". Finally, 2 Emerald Envy Enamel Shapes add a bit more interest to my sentiment and they accent the Emerald Envy mat.

Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:

Today I am sharing a birthday card that I created for my Grandson. Although he is only turning 8, he adores basketball.
I hope that Carson enjoys spinning the basketball as much as I do. There is something hypnotic about watching the ball spin its way around the circle! The basic directions for this card are the same as I shared yesterday for the buzzing bee card. The Layering Circle Framelits are just the ticket for creating the spinning basketball.
The hoop was created by downloading an image that I googled. In order to make it more realistic, I used my Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker to color the net & the ball. With any spinner card, be sure to pop up this center circle so that the element that you are spinning has room to move around the circle.
The basketball is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on a pair of pennies that are sandwiched with 2 Stampin' Dimensionals. The birthday banner was created with the Confetti Celebration Stamp Set & a Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker.

Although I have made other slider/spinner cards using the Sliding Star Framelits, I have not made one using the "circle" track from that set. In order to try it out, I started with a catalog case.
The larger bee truly does spin around the hive creating fun & excitement for any age! The bee is popped up on several pennies separated by a Stampin' Dimensional. The secret is to be sure to round the corners of the Stampin' Dimensional that is placed between the two pennies. I am told that washers also work but I have not tried them.
The "circle" track is cut from a piece of Whisper White Cardstock which is then popped up on my card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. The center circle is also popped up. This allows enough room for the bee to spin around the circle.
A few small bees are a buzz around my card. The best part is that there is a thin lit to cut these bees. Notice the Washi Tape & Linen Thread that dress up the top of my card.
