First of all, Happy Birthday Connie!! Now on to my projects. I made 2 cards to share. I must say you may want to grab your favorite beverage, because this is a long post. The first one is a shaker card made using Anna Griffin Spring Shaker kit that I purchased from HSN. It was a step by step process. All the pieces came separate in the kit. You choose a background page to attach to the card base you want to use. The only thing I had to add was foam tape which is not included.

I also decided to try to make a spinner card, because I felt like I cheated with the shaker card since it was from a set and it was so easy. I came up with this idea last night after receiving this stamp set in the mail. I used The Stamps of Life banana2splitstamp and die sets. The pink and light blue papers and twine are from card kits also from Stamps of Life. The patterned paper is from Authentique Dame 6x6 paper pad. I thought it looked like sprinkles. The brad is from Simple Stories DIY Boutique Decorative Brads. I used the brad to go along with the inside sentiment. I stamped the banana split image and sentiments with Gina K Amalgam ink. I cut out the banana split die with my Cricut Cuttlebug, and then cut out the negative of the die twice to make the background and the hole in the card. I colored in the banana split image with Marvy Uchida Color In Watercolor Twist Colored Pencils. I colored the ice cream scoops to look like strawberry cheesecake, vanilla, and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream- I realize I didn't add the chunks of cheesecake or dough in the scoops, but those 2 are my favorite flavors of ice cream, vanilla is just there to fill in the 3rd scoop. LOL! I also cut out the spoon die using my Cuttlebug.

I didn't take a picture of the inside of the card, because I haven't figured out how to cover the brad. I'll probably use a sticker to cover it. I also added a pink strip of paper to attach the brad to the card- to make it spin. It will spin all the way around. I must say this is the first card that actually turned out the way I envisioned it! I didn't think about the brad mechanism part, but overall I'm happy!
