About Me

My name is Natalie and I love anything to do with card/paper. I have been a papercrafter for many years now and I never get bored playing with all the wonderful products available. I've been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 35years now and we are still very much in love with each other as the first day we met each other. We have 3 wonderful children and 5 gorgeous grandchildren so we have lots to be thankful for. Since joining Stampin' Up! in 2018 I've grown so much in confidence with myself and I even tackle technology, which for me is a huge step to have taken, but I'm getting there slowly.

Pootlers Team Swap - Annual Catalogue swap 2021/ Sweet as a Peach-Give it a whirl card


 Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I took part in a team swap from the new annual catalogue. We were put into groups of 7 and had to create a card using products from the new annual catalogue, we then had to make 6 of the same card and send them all out to lovely team mates that were in our group. This is the card I made for my 6 team mates.......... hope you like it!

Materials needed for the card are:

Basic white thick cardstock                                                                                                                          1 pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" scored on the long side at 4 1/8" for the cardbase                                                      2 pc - 4" x 5 3/4" for the front and inside of card stamped layers                                                                1 pc - approx 4" x 4" for the wheel turning section                                                                                      1pc - approx 1/2" x 4" for the sentiment tags                                                                                              Scrap piece for the stamping and die cutting of the peaches

Calypso coral cardstock                                                                                                                                1 pc - approx 4" x 5 1/2" for the die cutting and embossing of the front of card layer                                Tiny scrap piece for adhering adhesive sheet to back and die cutting arrow out

Linen thread                                                                                                                                                  Long length to fold in half and tie a double bow with

Card Instructions

1. Fold, score and burnish the card base piece of cardstock.

2. Stamp the small flower images and leaves around the edges of both white layer pieces using calypso coral and pear pizzazz ink. Glue these 2 pieces onto the card flat using wet glue.

This is the inside of the card, bu the outside layer looks the same.

3. Die cut the front section of the spinning mechanism and the apperture part, then emboss the bottom half of it using the dotty embossing folder.

4. Die cut the wheel part of the mechanism and stamp the images you want to show through each bit as it is spun.


5. Attach the wheel part behind the front section of the spinning mechanism using a brad. 

6. Now place dimensionals all over the back of the spinning mechanism, making sure that none of the dimensionals interfere with the section that spins, but at the same time making sure it has support so it doesn't collapse onto itself once on the card. Attach this piece to the card front.

7. Die cut the arrow from the piece of card that already has adhesive sheet stuck to the back, this will then make the arrow self adhesive and alot easier to now attach to the card as an indicator to turn the wheel.

8. Stamp and die cut all of the peach and leaf images and attach to the front of the card using dimensionals .

9. Stamp the sentiment using different colours for the 2 words ( I find this easier if you stamp one of each and then cut them apart, you then have 2 sentiments to use in total) then attach these to the card front, I like to give them a slight curl with the bone folder so that that they curve in and give a different effect to the card.

10. Tie the bow and attach with a glue dot and then add some rhinestones and the card is finished.




I love the 'Give it a Whirl' die set it takes all of the stress out of trying to make one yourself and get the pieces lined up perfectly and there are 3 different apperture shapes that you can use, so it is a Win! Win! for me!

Hope that you enjoyed the project and give it a go yourself it was such fun to make.

Until next time take care
