Hi all, thanks for popping in today, I hope you are all well!
The new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and More is "This is a Man's World", hosted this time by Carol. She's asking you to create anything suitable for a man or boy.
Well, I'm not good at masculine cards so I thought I'd do a children's money wallet, with a spinning football on it. However, you know how an idea pops into your head, which you think will be a quick and easy make but sods law, it ends up taking you a whole afternoon to construct. Well this was one of those occasions.
This was my first go at a slider/spinner card, and although the mechanics are actually quite simple, on my first attempt I made the grass too tall and the ball was sticking on it and then the sentiment I'd chosen was too big and was obstructing the slider hole.
So, after much faffing, here is make number 2 - short grass and little sentiment ....
Supplies Used
DP from stash (I just free-hand cut the grass)
Football stamp is from Hobbycraft, clear embossed
Letters are Studio G, clear embossed

Thankfully, now that we're into February, the days are starting to get a little longer and I can feel myself slowly coming out of hibernation! Lol!
Many thanks for coming to visit.
Take care

Lovely card, looks complicated, well done on getting it right! The days here are getting longer too, it makes me hopeful! Hugs, Valerie

I applaud you. A spinner card I have never tackled (just realised there is a pun - football .... tackle!) because it always looked so complicated.
This is incredibly neat and tidy especially the slot.

Lol you are so right we are connected imagine both of us coming up with a similar idea! but must say yours is well worth the effort and all that faffing about ...its just perfect!! x
The faffing was definitely worth it. Have never attempted one myself so I applaud you and thank you for the great inspiration for my challenge :) Cxx
Super gift wallet for a boy. They'll love it being inter active. Your perseverance was worth it! x
awesome card...
How lovely to see you peeking out from your hibernation spot, Suze!! Your money wallet card is aces!! I wish I had a penny for every time I needed at least two tries at a new technique! The second try is fantastic!!
We say "Murphy's Law" in the States and I'm thinking it means the same thing as "sod's law." There is always such a wonderful sense of satisfaction when one perseveres and gets around those boogers!!
Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
You are so clever looks fantastic but would like a little video so you can confirm it actually works !!! Not that i don't believe you ….just saying thats all.

Wow - I love this to bits Sue! I know lots of male people that would love it too! Glad to hear you're thinking of coming out of hibernation - although you may want to hang on for a bit with the current weather forecast! Vicky x
