frosted pinecone spanner card
The spanner card starts out as a standard card and then something magical happens with two cuts! Stick around and I will show you how to make this fun fold card!
Measurements:
BASE: Pecan Pie CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pecan Pie Two-toned CS: (4) 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 4″, 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Place the right-hand edge of the card at 1″ (on the right-hand side of the cutting track) with the top of the card at the top of the Stampin’ Trimmer upper edge and the score line in the middle.
Place the cutting blade at the score line and cut upwards to the top edge of the card at 1″ in.
Move the card base to the right so that the left-hand edge aligns to the 1″ mark at the left hand side of the cutting track.
Place the cutting blade in the score line and cut upwards to the top of the card base.
Move the left-hand edge to the
Take the other two strips and stamp the splatter image on the light side in Pecan Pie ink.
Add Pecan Pie ink to the stamp and stamp onto the Basic White layer.
Using a blender pen, dip the tip into the lid of the Peaceful Pine ink pad with ink on it and use the pen like a colored marker and draw over the pine needle images.
Using a White Gel pen I added white lines above the Peaceful Pine marker lines to look like a snow effect!
Blend the edges in Pecan Pie ink and a blending brush.
Add adhesive ONLY 3/4″ in from the outside edges and secure over the two outside panels of the card – this creates a “spanner” piece to connect the two outside panels to act as one unit and “span” the gap leaving the middle panel to become another layer to the card!
Try making a spanner card soon with your own stash and see how easy it is to make something special! Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
