This fabulous spinner card was made by my friend Susie Wood; she sent one to me as we like to make cards for each other to share with our customers. I love her style so much. Visit her blog here.
Isn't it adorable?! It's classic Red, Black & White; perfect for the Ladybug set. The center circles are 1 3/4" and 2" in size. The Black piece is 4" X 3 1/4" in size and that circular opening is 2 3/8" using the Circles Collection dies and punches.
This cute stamp set is FREE with any $300 order placed during Sale-a-Bration; January through March 2020. If you don't think you can swing that large of an order I have a few suggestions for you.
Have a workshop/party and invite your friends. Their orders will add up so you can earn it free!
Place one big order (if you can). You'll get 6 free $50 Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and earn $36 in free hostess benefits.
Have a book party; inviting your fellow stamping friends to order. I can open a host code so all of the orders can be shipped to each person's ome. Sale-a-Bration is a great time to order! Free products for each $50 you spend.
Purchase the starter kit and join as a Demonstrator! Then you get 20% off your $300 order so you're really spending just $240 to earn this set! Plus you would get 6 free Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and $36 in free hostess benefits.
All you need for a spinner card is a window, something to spin and some string or thread. She used our Silver metallic thread here. The window is made with our Circles Collection Framelits.
Watch the FB live replay video below to see how it's done.
You might wonder where the black polka dots came from. She used a sponge dauber! So easy!!

Three January Specials just for you!
1. All January online orders will earn a ticket in the drawing for a free Little Ladybug stamp set!
Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder
Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here. I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them.
First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn. Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry.
It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.
Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one. Neat effect!
Measurements:
Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here.
She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper. This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55. It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards!

First are cards made with the Delicate Dahlia stamp set. This was an easy favorite of mine. The 2-step DistINKtive images are gorgeous!
I love this paper so much! Classic prints in Black, Red, White, Sahara Sand & Garden Green. In fact I like it so much I created one of my October kits to go around it! I'll share that next week.

This Gorgeous Leaves stamp set & bundle is one of the choices you can pick with the Starter Kit special going on right now. It's actually free; one of 12 different options just through tomorrow, September 30th. Click here to see them all.
Here's the most simple card I made. But with these beautiful colors it is still striking. Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen & Cinnamon Cider. Most of the cards used this color combination.
You might wonder how I come up with these color combinations. I usually pull out sheets of card stock and see if they work together. Many times I have to switch one or more out before I'm happy. I don't use a color wheel or any guide; I just play and use what feels right.
This next card is a 3" X 5 1/2" panel of Vanilla CS with a thin edge of Cinnamon Cider. The greeting is stamped and heat embossed on a 1" strip of Evening Evergreen. I did go over the White embossing with my Cinnamon Cider Blends marker. I also colored the White ribbon with the same Blends marker before tying my bow.
Do you ever create your own paper with stamps & ink? These types of images make it fun & easy to do. Try it; you will love filling in your card stock with pretty images. Remember to always start with your largest images first.
In this next card I added a few of the die-cuts from the Intricate Leaves dies from this bundle. The greeting is from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set seen here. I colored the small leaves image with Stampin' Write markers.
This next card is so quick, easy and still eye catching. Start with a pretty greeting in the center (Pretty Pumpkins set) and add leaves in opposing corners. A little splatter, sponging and gems and you're done!
Now for the next few cards we're getting into some stamping techniques! This set of cards is made with the Emboss Resist technique. Same colors as above with the addition of Bumblebee and Gold.
I embossed the leaves images using Versamark ink and clear embossing onto Vanilla CS. Next, sponge Classic ink randomly, directly over the embossing filling in the entire piece of card stock with color.
Then use a damp tissue or cloth to wipe off the excess ink. It will come off of the embossed images but stay on the card stock. So fun and gorgeous!
I toned down & softened the look with a piece of Vellum card stock (3 1/2" X 4 3/4"). The die-cuts are all from the Intricate Leaves dies. The pretty greeting that is heat embossed with Gold embossing powder is from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set seen here. It's in the Holiday catalog as well.
As you can see the Joseph's Coat can create a beautiful 'coat of colors'. The card above uses the same colors as the previous cards including Bumblebee. Holiday rhinestones are perfect with these colors.
This next card has Old Olive instead of Evening Evergreen. The Evergreen was just too dark. It is Cherry Cobbler card stock & ink. My photo came out a bit off color.
Once you have clear embossed leaves over this sponged piece you rub on a darker color of Classic or water-based ink. Anything but permanent ink should work. I used Soft Suede here. Most people use Black.
After I rubbed the Soft Suede ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock I used a tissue to wipe off the excess from the embossed leaves revealing the beautifully colored leaves.
