Magic Reveal Spinner Card

Firstly, a HUGE thanks to Inkresponsiblyau.blogspot.com.au

for sharing a tutorial on this spectacular card technique

I did this in a recent class.....it isn't/wasn't easy, but I think well worth the effort

Here is one "closed"

then "open"

closed

open

closed

open

the ribbon acts as a "pull" or tag to turn the circle to reveal the image underneath.

I think it is most effective when the first image is quite subtle,

then revealing more drama underneath.

I have the instructions saved on my pc,

so if anyone wants a copy, please just ask here,

or email gillettlesley@gmail.com

Baby Wipe Technique

I did these at a recent class

we made a multi coloured ink pad from a folded baby wipe

this technique suits the dragonfly perfectly

and I left them without sentiments, so I can adapt them when needed.

Birds and Bees

A couple more swaps featuring the birds and the bees....

Karen Franks

just love how she's cut around the hexagon embossing folder to look like honeycomb,

and the cute bee is in the Dragonfly Dreams set....

Rebecca Willmore

this is a sort of ric-rac (jacob's ladder?) fancy fold, 

where you can open it from both sides in a magic way......

and inside is a gift card

Dragonfly Dreams with alcohol

Dragonfly with alcohol.....

.......Alcohol Inks obviously! 

Love the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits, so versatile,

put some alcohol inks on some acetate, stamped with Stazon ink,

then die cut the wings, attached them with a brad.

die cut the greeting and fussy cut slightly larger one to layer up.

Have a fab week

Dragonfly Dreams

I needed a swap for a play day,

and I'd seen the idea of cutting away a strip of card front and adding a die cut to the edge.

This was my first attempt, but without the black strip

I then decided to bling it up, so went with the gold glimmer paper

I then added the black strip, which seemed to balance the first one,

and so I couldn't decide which one I preferred.

Which do you like, if any?!

Dragonfly Dreams

A beautiful make n take from Jan Twinks
