Case The Creator #8, Spanner Card Fancy Fold
Let’s get fancy today and make a Spanner Card!
. The top has a strip of window sheet attached to the two sides which were cut from the main card base. You lift the front to reveal a middle panel:
. Then lift the middle panel to see the greeting:

I used the scrumptious Rustic Harvest DSP (designer series paper) on a Cajun Craze base with a Basic Black mat. The Sending Dies and the Sending Smiles stamp set are a great addition to anyone’s stash. I did cut two additional 1 1/4 X 1 1/4 Basic Black squares to put over top of the back sides of the window sheet so the glue dots wouldn’t show. I die cut a little pumpkin and a branch of leaves from the Seasonal Swirls Dies. The greeting is from Blessings of Home stamp set.
The greeting doesn’t look like what is in the stamp set?!
No, Sal, I masked off the ‘hello’ in ‘A CARD TO SAY HELLO’ and added three little dots with a marker. The greeting dies were longer than I wanted and I didn’t want to cover up the beautiful DSP so I masked, then stamped, then die cut half of the greeting, removed the die and then placed the die on the other end of the greeting to die cut a shorter length. The embossed edges kept the die in place.
Oh, yes! But practice makes perfect so its best to challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zone so we get comfortable using our dies in various ways. It is nice to know we don’t need dies and punches in every size!
Let’s look at what my crafty friends came up with for challenge #8!
Ann used the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set and Deer Builder Punch:

Lucille’s card has a fall feel to it with a die cut bouquet from Penned Flowers dies.
Jo used the Delicate Edges Dies! Her flower is from the Color & Contour stamp set with the Scalloped Contours dies.

Party Favor – Post It Note Holder
Do you need a party favor for an event? These cute Post It Note Holders are great. It also makes a different type of thank you gift that will make your recipient smile and give her/him something quite useful!
These are the absolute cutest butterfly dies Stampin’ Up! has ever had! They are not realistic just fun and ‘whimsical’ as one of my stampers commented. This little guy is from the Build A Butterfly Dies set.
Sample A:
. Sample B:
This set uses the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.
. 
I found a pack of three post it notes at the grocery store in the office section — on sale!!
For sure, Sal. You just never know where you will find the beginning of inspiration! I looked at several crafters directions and combined a little from each to get what I have here. I loved the rounded corners on the flap that one lady used and I really thought the back should have a pretty piece of the designer series paper, not just the front. I have the little magnets from one of our previous projects -Amazon:
so I used those instead of velcro dots. Do you see the little tiny heart on the magnet in the fall set? I have a tiny heart punch in my stash that was the perfect size and didn’t interfere with the magnet.
Recipe
- Base: A-Parakeet Party/B-Cajun Craze, 9 1/4 X 3 1/8
- Score at 2 1/4, 2 5/8, 5 3/4, 6 1/8
- Top & Back Layer (X2): A-Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper/ B-Rustic Harvest DSP, 2 7/8 X 2 7/8
- Flap: Same DSP, 2 X 2 7/8, Corner Round the bottom only of the flap edges, leave the top squared
- Greeting: A-Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set for the little note of thanks stamped on a Calypso Coral scrap and cut with a Pretty Pillowbox Die/ B- Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set for the thank you and also to stamp the little wood sign in Soft Suede on Crushed Curry before stamping the thank you.
- For the magnets- using a glue dot adhere the inside bottom magnet 1 1/2 down and centered from side to side. Close the bottom flap and place the second magnet on the top of the flap- it will automatically attach to the first magnet. Place a glue dot on top of the magnet and carefully close the top flap onto the bottom flap keeping your score lines square.
I think you needed a video to help with those instructions.
It would have been better, for sure!
- A- adhere the thank you and then die cut a Starry Sky butterfly using the Build A Butterly Dies. Adhere with a glue dot and add a Fun Flower Resin Shape
- B-16″ of ribbon to make a belly band and attach the little sign with a glue dot to the band after tying
Thank you for spending part of your day with me!
SAL, Smile A Little
