Happy Birthday Mason Rain! Twelve today! It's a Monkey Spinner Card with a difference!

 Oh my giddy goodness! It doesn't seem that long ago, we were over in Seattle visiting him in hospital the day after Mason Rain Taylor was born! The thing that stuck in my head most was.....(apart from what a gorgeous baby grandson I had!) was the tills at the reception.  We don't have them over here, and I hope we never will! Anyway. Here's the card I made a little while back already gone off to Skykomish in the USA, a monkey penny spinner card... with a difference.  You said you were going to add a bit more to the front Lyn... (sez the voice inside my head) Yes! I have! but not on the front.... the inside!

It came to me in one of those light bulb moments... make a monkey spinner card with a difference, so I did. I had a few monkeys left over from Maria's card and the lovely jungle paper (The Works)  So set about planning my next move once the front of the card was finished. And this is  it!

It's a different card? With bears? No! well, yes, there's bears... but wait  for the next picture!

               

Dah dah! Here it is...it's a box card inside the spinner card! It all folds down flat to make a 5x7 card. All the papers are from a 12x12 paper stack called 'Jungle Dreams' from 'The Works'. I chose bears, because, quite often, Mason gets real live bears, in his garden! Now, hubby who is sitting opposite me, drinking his beer....(I'm posting this is a pub) has just said... "Isn't Mason 12?" and begins counting on his fingers! What!!? No! The card's gone off with 11 on it! Argh! Quickly, I start counting on my fingers too... "its' okay," he sez, still grinning... "He was 11!" Phew!  "Last Year!" Oh Poo! No one will notice! sigh! Well, there we go, that's my lastest make... I have done a video...but seeing I'm not around, and have no internet where I am, I'll post it next week! Thank you for stopping by!!

One Spinning Dolphin-Wishing you Oceans of Joy!

 

  Hope you're not too borded with the spinning cards yet... I still have a few more to make but I might add something different inbetween them, just so I don't make you too dizzy! Also, I've been wondering how to make a spinning ATC for the WOYWW Swap coming up.... I might have to use something a lot smaller, like a bee or an ant... Or a spider even! Behind the pale blue dolphin (all coloured with my ProMarkers) are some stars, which was a mistake, I took a different stamp of a seahorse, which didn't work, so I covered it up with the dolphin.

Stamps and dies come in a box set from Crafters Companion in lovely purple tissue papers including pattened card (which I've used on the front), papers, cards and envelopes (only the 6x6 envelopes didn't actually fit this card) and three little critters to play with but only one slidder die, or you can just buy one set at a time where you get a different slidder dies with each set. Which is good! (The gold leaf on the card comes from a Sizzix set...it got glued on by mistake, but I liked it!) I also used stickles and a white gell pen, And (at last I found one), a 'Wink of Stella sparkles brush'.

And here's the inside. I used some papers, which came from Papercraft Inspirations some years back, called then, Nautical and Nice, (June 2015!) which you can still download for free HERE (You will have to login) There's anchors and whales as well as boats. 
I was going to do a little video, cos they are so much more fun when they spin and slide!  Maybe on the next one!  That's it! Thank you for stopping by! Hoping to find some...
