Hello, Blog Friends! Today I wanted to show you this cute card I made using Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker LLC paper ("Willow Bee" line), the cute bee cut from a Sizzlit die, with a bit of wobble added to the bee by a spring-based wobble. Because I wanted the bee to "pop" from the paper more than a traditional Action Wobbler, I developed a homemade wobbler using a spring and pieces of foam mounting tape and small pieces of acetate or tape to hold the spring to the underside of the foam (which has double-sided adhesive). Here is a video I made about this process. For those who'd prefer photos not videos, here are a few along with a little description of each: This is what a traditional (purchased) Action Wobble looks like. It has a plastic spiral between two flat, clear adhesive oblique-shaped pieces. They lie very flat (1/8" approx) so don't add much dimension to your card or project. I first tried making my own using 24 gauge wire that I twisted around a pencil, and mounted to foam mounting circles. I found the wire to be too stiff for a really "giggly" wobble. When I used beading wire, the wobbler moved sweetly! Cut a piece of beading wire about 6-7" long and wrap it around a tapered instrument, e.g., a paintbrush. Put the wire on one side of the foam mounting circle and cover it with a piece of acetate that has been hole-punched in the same size as your mounting foam. Cut a slit in your acetate to keep the wire in the center of your mounting foam. Here's the outside of the card. ...and the inside. I typeset the sentiment using Adobe Illustrator on my desktop computer, and printed it on the cardstock used for the card. The snip of a hive is from Nikki Sivils paper.

Here's a step by step guide on how to assemble a Kanban Wobblers kit. These cute kits are really unusual and a Wobblers card will really stand out on the mantlepiece! In addition to the kit, you will need double sided adhesive tape (or other adhesive of your choice); foam pads and acetate, card or paper for the rocker base. The two sheets which form the kit are pictured above. Pop out the die cut components - I find it easiest to snip the tiny tags holding them to the sheet with a craft knife, to ensure a neat finish. To make the rocker stand, use the template and trace it onto sturdy card or acetate, then cut out. Alternatively, you could decorate the template itself (which is very sturdy) by covering it with paper or drawing / painting on it with your own designs. I decided to make my rocker base out of black pearlescent card. The rocker base then needs to be creased with a bone folder and folded in half. Attach the legs to the body of the wobbler using 3D foam pads. Use one of the template strips (I used the one with rounded ends) to attach the head to the body of the Wobbler. You can trace the template on to acetate for this, if you prefer. Attach the Wobbler body to the rocker stand, using 3D foam pads or tape on both sides. I used another of the template strips inside the rocker stand, secured with double sided tape. The card can still be folded flat to post, but this ensures that the rocker stand will remain upright (and not open so far that it falls flat) when the card is on display. Finally, add the Wobbler's tail and decorate with other die cut elements as you wish, using foam pads and double sided tape. A selection of cute Wobblers kits is available at Foil Play, along with co-ordinating topper sheets and rubber stamps too.
