Hi Everyone. I am here today with my 2nd guest post for Heartcraft Paper and when I first laid my eyes on their Bomb Pop digital stamp I just knew I have to use it. Growing up I used to eat bomb pops every summer and just the image of them takes me back to my childhood. What better way to use this image then to create a spinning card that children of all ages can play with. Digital stamps worked beautifully with my card design since I was able to adjust the size of the image to be smaller than the sentiment.
To make this card I first copy the Bomb Pop image onto a Word document 6 time and size them to be slightly larger than 2 inches tall and print them out onto white card stock. I also print out the sentiment at the same time. Color all the images using blue and red copic markers to give them the traditional hue and cut them out. Used a circle die to cut out my spinner circle and used my pencil to draw in 6 sections. For my card base, I cut out my front panel from white cardstock at 6 x 6 inches and draw in a border with a black pen and then use a blue copic marker to scratter dots around the middle of the front panel. Last, create a hole in the middle of my panel for my brad.
Glue down the ends of each Bomb Pop onto my spinner circle and add the brad to connect my spinner to my front panel. I added some powder to the brad so the Bomb Pop will spin smoother. Then I cut out the sentiment using a label die cut.
Adhere my middle strip of cardstock to the middle of my card using double layers of foam tape so it will not lay on top of the spinner and last glue down my sentiment on top of the strip to hid the center of the spinner.
I hope you enjoy this card and I can’t wait to show you my next card for Heartcraft Paper.
There is already a wonderful youtube tutorial from Waffle Flower on how the Pop-Up House is assembled (link over here) and my tutorial here will focus on how to incorporate the Chibitronic LED lights to my card.
