Papertrey Ink 5th Anniversary Contest: Moving cards



This is my small attempt to make a moving card in honor of Papertrey Ink's 5th Anniversary celebration and their reveal today of their new Movers and Shakers dies for making interactive cards. Love love love the new dies and possibilities. This is my attempt to enter the contest to hopefully win those dies and the stamps to make some fabulous cards for my boys and my nephew.

This card uses the Limitless layers 2.5 dies, cupcake dies and cupcake stamps from PTI as well as Think Big Favorites #12. I glittered up the cupcake and suspended it in the circle opening. Now it spins if the recipient wants to make it spin. Pretty fun. I haven't tried this technique since my Stampin' UP! days at least 4 or 5 years ago. Can't wait to try those new Movers and Shakers dies from PTI. Oooh, it is going to be such fun! Maybe it will motivate my boys to get their school work done so we can play and make cards.

I haven't been crafty since before Christmas. I had a very busy January doing 6 chocolate tasting parties for my Dove Chocolate Discoveries business. This month I have had no parties, but I have had lots of catching up to do personally at home. A busy homeschool mom is always catching up it seems. It was fun to get the crafting goodies out and play. One of the things I like the most about Papertrey Ink's stamps is that they are so timeless. I will be using their stamps for years and they will still be in style.
