Yesterday I was published! I was asked to write a tutorial for Splitcoaststampers for the Zoetrope Card that I designed last summer. A zoetrope is an old-fashioned entertainment device that gave the illusion of motion to images when spun.
You can find the tutorial with step-by-step directions and pictures by clicking here.
You can also view a video tutorial by clicking here -
Here's the completed project:
Uses Feel Goods Clear-Mount Set, Pretty Petites Clear-Mount Set, and Itty Bitties Double-Mounted Wood-Mount Set plus Clear-Mount Block A, Clear-Mount Block D, More Mustard Classic Stampin' Pad, Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad, Regals Collection Stampin' Write Markers (More Mustard), Neutrals Collection Stampin' Write Markers (Early Espresso and Soft Suede), So Saffron Card Stock, More Mustard Card Stock, Early Espresso Card Stock, Window Sheets, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Designer Builder Brads, SNAIL Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Shaker Frames, Color Spritzer Tool, Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Craft Scissors, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Petite Curly Label Punch, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Multipurpose Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and Sharpie Marker.
The Pretty Petites Set and Petite Curly Label Punch are two items you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration.
My first Zoetrope Card can be found by clicking here. Please note that if you want to make a Zoetrope Card of your own, you should use the directions in the Splitcoaststampers Tutorial and video, not the directions in this post. I improved the method so it is easier and works better!
Please check out the tutorial and video and let me know how I did!
Thanks, Dianna and Gail. I hope you will give the technique a try. It's really not that hard to do and gives such a cool effect. Have fun.
