Don't forget to SMILE...and a Sneakie Peekie!!!

Hello! For my card today, I'm just going to dive right into the pictures of it..and I swear it is ONE card...
smile...
wink...
oh...
See, same card with four faces because it is a SPINNER card!!! The adorable faces are from the stamp set called Cute and Cuddly Faces from PeachyKeenStamps.com. The card is found on the Wild Card cartridge on page 51 and cut out at 5.5 inches on both the blackout key and the liner key {for the spinner circle. The flower is from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge on page 47 and is found on the clothes layer and cut out at 4 inches. I mixed up a drop of distress ink reinker and a tiny scoop of perfect pearls with water in a mini mister to give my flower some color and sparkle...
See it shimmer? OH and the sentiment is from Emma's {MyCreativeTime} set called Camera Shy. Head over to the Everyday Cricut Blog to see two more examples of this type of card. ;)

***Sneakie Peekie Time***

You are going to LOVE the new releases from Emma!!! Here I am showcasing 2 stamp sets that coordinate just beautifully together called... Inspiring Words and Inspiring Words Accents. These will be available on Friday. So PRETTY, right??!!! My sweet sleeping little girl is from the Playtime cartridge. Her precious face is from the Just Baby Faces set from PeachyKeenStamps.com.
I get a lot of questions about what kind of white ink I use and the answer is I NEVER use white ink. In fact, every white ink pad I have ever tried has ended up in the trash! I stamp my images with Tim Holtz embossing ink {my favorite} and heat emboss with white embossing powder.

Ok...I hope you found some inspiration here! NOW for chances to WIN some awesome stamps from Emma....Comment on this post and then head over to her BLOG and comment there as well!!!

PHEW...this was a LONG post! Hehehehe

Happy Crafting!!!
♥ Nikki ♥
