Cricut 360- create something for the parents
Frosted Designs- use a quote (I've heard people say this before)
GAB Challenge- use something you rarely use (Graphically Speaking cart. & the wobble springs)
Whimsical Wednesday- interactive fun (I used springs under the tops, so they wiggle a lot)
365 Cards- add dimension to your project
Graphically Speaking- book card base cut at 4.29"
Joys of the Season- ornament (I used to make tops) cut at 2.53"
Cuttlebug- d'vine swirls
Peachy Keen Stamps- Retro Paper Doll Face Assortment
Sentiment is from my computer- HP PSG font at size 18
Stickles- star dust, cotton candy, lime green
Glossy Accents
Wire to make the springs
** I used the search feature on my Gypsy to find a top and the only cartridge that has one is Boys Will be Boys. I don't own that cartridge so I started thinking about other things that may resemble a top, and that's when ornaments popped into my brain! I used the ornament from Joys of the Season, cut each one 3 times (so I could layer the different colored papers), cut off the top of the ornament and the little ball on the bottom, and VOILA it's a little spinning top! :)
** I had been hearing that you can use Action Wobbles to create movement on your cards, but I didn't have any.... so, I made my own. They are not exactly the same as the Action Wobbles, but they are really fun! To make them I just cut some wire, wrapped it around a pen, and used Scotch tape to adhere it to the little tops and then to the card.
Hope you enjoy, and you're all tops in my book too! :)
