Mermazing Circle Spinner Card

[@Natalia-009]

Girl all your cards are beautiful! ❤ Very cute! Especially the little ring around the mermaid! 🐠🐢🐚

[@maryellannroy2242]

Thinking that the acetate is "sitting" within the ring with the top Mermaid section on it. And it is the outside top that is keeping it in place to spin. Is this right? Pretty.

Amazing card!!! And really lovely watercoloring 😃

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks so much Anne-Mette, happy you think so :)

Is the Scan n Cut worth getting? I just recently bought the Cricut Explore Air 2 but it only cut properly for about 2 weeks. I have been troubleshooting with support for weeks. I keep spending money on dies and keep thinking for what I paid for the Cricut I shouldn't have to keep buying dies. This Scan n Cut looks amazing but is it really accurate? I am not the best at fussy cutting not to mention it is very time consuming! Appreciate your input.

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Hi Jenny. For the longest time I resisted getting another machine as I have the Silhouette Cameo and could do the exact same thing the snc2 does with a pixscan mat, but the process requires multiple steps which if you are doing lots of stamping for die cutting it can become time consuming. So I finally caved and opted for the snc as it is quick and doesn't require it to be hooked up to the computer at all. I really wasn't interested in the snc for all the rest of its capabilities b/c I love the Silhouette and still use it for svg cutting etc, although I know that the snc has that ability as well. I'm not sure that the Cricut can do scan and cut functions, just not familiar with it. So for me the snc is working great, worked perfectly from the start. I calibrated it from the start and it has been very accurate. Stamp, scan, cut, that is it! Only this I dislike is the mat... really flimsy and only sticky for about 4 uses. I end up using a lot of masking tape to hold my paper in place. I have seen others glue another brand mat onto it. I justify the snc by not having to purchase any more coordinating dies, and no more fussy cutting. Hope this helps!

[@jennyperson3217]

Yes tremendously, thank you!

[@keirawelling]

Very clever. I just added another reason why I want to add a Scan and Cut to my collection. TFS!

[@JayDub_143]

I absolutely LOVE this card! the coloring you did is so gorgeous!! I hope to be able to color so flawlessly someday! thanks for sharing hun! hugs!!

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks you so much! Honestly I think anyone can do it. I find it easier than it looks as long as you use watercolor paper you are good! Thanks for the love. So appreciated :)

[@JayDub_143]

I Love Doing All things crafty! I will have to practice when I get my craft supplies built back up! I am currently trying to rebuild my craft supplies after I lost everything in a house fire last year and on a very limited income as I was diagnosed with cancer a month after the fire so it's been difficult but I have faith someday I will be creating again. in the meantime I love watching you and getting inspired.

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

JaNetNMelissaWise Awe, that is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope that you are on your way to health and rebuilding again. Cancer sucks! That is actually what I see all day long at work. I have been an Oncology nurse for almost 20 years now and really do love it. But, crafting is my therapy!

[@JayDub_143]

I Love Doing All things crafty! God bless you for all you do! it is very difficult!! right now I am undergoing brachytherapy radiation treatments and I have faith I will beat this! Crafting is so therapeutic and I do miss it terribly! I hope to be back creating sometime soon! Hugs!! xoxoxoo

Super cute!

[@azwife35]

I love this card but I am unsure how to create the spinner part. I wish you had slowed down and explained that part. I have everything except the spinner discs which I understand I will need to purchase.

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thank you and I apologize for the the speed. Basically all you want is to create a ring that will spin without obstruction. To do that, you use foam tape to lift the outside and the inside parts of the circle area (top layers). Make sure your ring is cut slightly larger than the opening (top circle) to keep it from falling out. You just need to make sure no glue/foam tape touches the ring. Really it's like making any other slider card except this time you mount the elements on a ring instead instead of on a single disk. Hope that makes sense? If not, ask away... I'm happy to help you figure it out ;)

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Love this I think it's excellent and thank you for sharing. I am tho very confused about the ring section still not getting it in my head how you did it. Is there any way you can put that section on again but in real time. Thank you

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Hi Denise. Unfortunately I no longer have the footage to the video. So I will try to explain the steps. Using two circle dies, cut the ring out of your top panel. You will then need cut a larger circle out for the bottom panel as I did in the video or you can skip that step and use the card base. The next thing I did was glue the ring I had cut out from my top panel to the base of the card or the circle I previously cut. Then you will need to cut the acetate ring, wider than the ring you previously cut the from the top panel. Once all these pieces are cut out you can assemble the card. Pop up the center piece using some foam tape, sandwiching the acetate ring between the bottom panel and the top panel. Making sure that the rings don't touch the foam tape anywhere or it may not spin smoothly for you. You will also want to pop up the outside part of the top panel so that it creates a level surface for your elements to slide over. Add your slider discs to the acetate and then add your images. Hope this helps you with the process. Sorry I couldn't show you how in real time.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

I Love Doing All things crafty! Thank you so much for explaining, I will try my best😀

thanks, absolutely amazing!!!! love, love, love!!! hugs

[@loriritchie7124]

You make amazing cards, did I hear you say you hadn't been stamping for long? You look like a pro!

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Hi Lori! Yes, I've only been stamping a bit over a year now. Was more into 3D paper crafts before that ;) Thanks so much for the sweet compliment!

[@loriritchie7124]

Where are you in Canada? I live on Vancouver Island

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

I'm from Edmonton :)

[@loriritchie7124]

Oh cold country, most of the prairies are moving to Vancouver Island, we've had a huge influx in Courtenay where I am. I was watching you use the Scan N Cut, I might have to look into that machine. I just bought my first die and stamp set from SSS and it cost me $47. I don't like the white edge that the dies leave but I see this cuts really close to the image. Take care, I'll be watching all your videos, you are amazing!

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Awwww, Thanks so much Lori. Happy you'll be watching! Haven't been filming anything recently, just really busy with home life and work at the moment. Hopefully soon! Yes, dies are a fortune and thus why the scan n cut works best for me. Would rather buy stamps than dies, plus it has lot of other uses. I know of a few people that have moved to the Island, can't blame them... it's beautiful out there, plus the weather is a lot milder compared to ours here :) Have a wonderful week!

[@lisadelong1455]

This card is awesome, love it!

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks so much Lisa! Happy you think so :)

[@cpech2]

such a cute card!! What are you using in the inner part of the circle @ 9:33 they look like little mints. LOL

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Chris Pecherzewski they are called slider discs from MFT. I have them linked in the video description below 😊

How to do scan and cut ? Can u give the tutorial for that ?

[@CraftyKazzaH]

love it!

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks so much!

[@maryellannroy2242]

Please slow down your video so us "new be's" can follow better. Your cards are really lovely. Thank - you so much.

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Sorry, at this point of making videos I was a newbie too. I apologize, and I appreciate the comments ;)

[@craftywomansix]

Stink'n' cute card but a tad fast on showing the die cutting to do the circle movement parts if one has never done movement cards.

[@DaisyRae999]

Wow! Awesome :)

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks Daisy!

[@cuteychamp]

I have cameo 3.. auto blade... how to do scan and cut

[@dawnh4176]

this is so freaking cute

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Thanks Dawn! Happy you think so :)

[@elainechapman-smith4617]

I love your card idea but absolutely hate your video. You spent a lot of time slowly colouring but then the video was so fast when you made the card it was almost impossible to follow what you were doing.

[@ILoveDoingAllthingscrafty]

Elaine Chapman-Smith thanks for the feedback. I completely agree with you. Unfortunately this is when I first started making videos and that’s how you learn.
