Elf Ornament

I was excited when I learned that I would get the Christmas Solutions Cricut cartridge with the Gypsy download last month. I didn't have this one and had been wanting it. I wanted to break it in when I heard about the "Let's Face It" challenge over at Peachy Keen. We were supposed to make an ornament. I thought this cute little elf would work well. I stamped his face with Funshine Faces Side View Peach Keen stamps. My husband suggested that I make a character holding a present attached to a fun Action Wobble. This seemed like the perfect time to do that. I have a feeling my children will be playing with this ornament a bit.

Here is a quick video demostrating the Action Wobble. It is interesting how the size of the object affects how much the wobble seems to move. I am really having fun experimenting with these.

What is an Action Wobble?

I've had some of you ask what an Action Wobble is. It is a collapsible spring that has two flat sticky ends that can be applied to any flat surface. Here are some pictures of what one looks like (click the pictures to enlarge them):

These amazing little creations will lay down basically flat for shipping in an envelope but spring back to life when removed from the envelope. They are amazing!!! AWi (the makers of Action Wobble) have started up a Facebook page. Feel free to 'like' their page and learn more about Action Wobbles and to see some better pictures too. www.facebook.com/actionwobbles

Hockey Puck Action Wobble Card

This card is one that I hope I don't need to make again. My niece went to a college hockey game and got hit in the side of the head with a puck that came out of bounds. The poor girl ended up with 30 something stitches and a very sore ear/jaw area. She has been a good sport about the whole thing and we are just thankful that she didn't get hurt worse than she did.

Here is another short video showing the Action Wobble puck.

You ROCK with Action Wobbles

Hello crafting friends. I have yet another card using my super fun Action Wobbles. All I have to say is that Action Wobbles ROCK!!! This card shows you how well they rock. I also think that the Action Wobble company rocks. They have been awesome to work with and how amazing is it that they are giving away free samples. Don't forget to respond by 5 pm CST on one of the Action Wobble Team Member's blogs if you are interested in some of these awesome Action Wobbles. I also want to give a HUGE shout out to the amazing Pam of Simply-Pam. She is the one that got all of us craft blogging girls introduced to the world of Action Wobbles. Thanks SO much Pam. You ROCK big time in my book.

Here is another short video. I just can't show an Action Wobble card without at least a brief preview of how awesome they are. I also regret to say that this is one cut on Smiley Cards that won't work with Peachy Keen Stamps. The black is the base image and the pink is actually two separate pieces that end up making the sunglasses. I love it anyway, but thought I would share what I learned as I was designing this.

Gobble 'til You Wobble with Action Wobbles

I am lucky to be part of a focus group that gets to try out a product called Action Wobbles. These are similar to pop dots in the fact that they lift your projects off the page. They are different in the fact that they have a spring like design that gives them movement. I love the fact that they can lay almost perfectly flat (like in a mailing envelope) but then they spring to life with movement and fun. Action Wobbles will be available to the general public in January of 2011.

These Action Wobbles (collapsible springs) would work great for any project you want to give dimension and movement to. I thought it would be fun to make a 'Gobble 'til You Wobble' card with wobbling turkeys.

Here is a super short video showing how these little cuties wobble.
