Wraparound Cards with action movement that wobble




Since I do a weekly clog dancing class at my community, we like to give a thank-you card to our instructors, and since I am the cardmaker of the group, I love to make these cards.  We have two ladies and one guy who teach so I needed to make an appropriate card for each of them.  Stampin' Up has perfect stamps for the cards - penguins and a masculine stamp set.  I also purchased some wobble action springs that add movement to an image so I decided this would be great to show motion in the clogging shoes and the penguin cloggers!

Here is one of the cute penguin cards, made with Stampin' Up items (the ruffle skirt is a retired item but all the rest you can purchase in my online store: https://marynoble.stampinup.net/)

 Can you see how I placed the designer paper so that it covered both the front and back of the card?  I think it highlights the lovely paper even more so it looks really nice displayed so you can see both the back and front....I think these cards are called wraparound cards. To personalize the watercolored card, I wrote the word "clog" down the side of the penguin, and had her hold a pair of clogging shoes.  Also, the wobble spring is placed behind the penguin so that she will move/dance when touched!  Here is a closeup:


Wobble spring is behind the penguin so she "dances"

Here is the other penguin clogger card, again with a wobble spring behind the penguin:






And here is the card for our male clogging teacher:





 I cut down the wobble spring area so they would fit behind my images


All of the items I used on  these cards can be purchased in my online Stampin' Up store (except for the retired ruffled ribbon and wobble spring)  https://marynoble.stampinup.net/

Here is a little bit more info about the wobble springs in case you want to learn more:
