Spinner Card Tutorial

Supplies: Paper cutter, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8” circle punch, 1 ¼” circle punch, Word Window Punch, Wild About You stamp set, Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Whisper White Card Stock (CS), So Saffron and Mellow Moss Classic Ink pads, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Anywhere glue stick and 2 pennies.

2. Cut Cerainly Celery CS 5 ½” x 8 ½”. Stamp the elephant and the bird from the Wild About You stamp set in Mellow Moss.

3. Cut a piece of Barely Banana CS 5 ½” x 2 ½”.
Slide the cs all the way to the bottom of the word window punch and punch a hole in the middle of the piece of cs.

Note: the word window will not be centered top to bottom, we will trim later.

Tip: Keep the CS pushed all the way into the punch to punch in a straight line. Move the punch to the left and right until your word window is the desired width.

4. To center the word window trim ½” from the wider (in the picture it’s the bottom) side of the CS.

5. On a piece of Whisper White CS stamp the lion in So Saffron ink. Cut out the lion head with the 1 ¼” circle punch.

Use the 1 3/8” circle punch to punch out a circle in Bashful Blue CS.

Punch out a Scallop circle in Certainly Celery.
Glue the 3 circles together.

6. Take the 2 pennies and adhere a stampin’ dimensional to the center of each penny.

Stick the 2 stampin’ dimensionals together so that you now have a sandwich with pennies on the outside and 2 dimensionals on the inside.

7. Stamp Wild About You in So Saffron along the top and bottom of the Barely Banana CS.

Glue the Bashful Blue CS to the front of the card.

8. Take your penny sandwich and attach the scallop circle image of the lion to the pennies with a stampin’ dimensional.

Slide one of the pennies through the word window, keeping the other penny with the lion attached on the front of the CS.

9. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the 4 corners of the back of the barely banana cs, and dimensionals in the center of the CS leaving enough room for the penny to slide.

Note: Yours probably will not have wild about you stamped on the back of the card stock….our little secret? Lol…

10. Attach the barely banana cs to the front of the card.

Voila! You are done!

Spinner Card

This is a spinner card that I made at Nancy's party. I didn't really realize how much I just love this So Swirls roller....this is card number 3 in my blog! LOL! This time I kept it subtle rolling with Tempting Turquoise in on coordinating card stock. I used the word window to puch out the slot for the spinner to spin in and stamped Wish Big from the Short and Sweet stamp set in Tempting Turquoise on whisper white cardstock (CS) mounted underneath.

I stamped a flower from the Priceless stamp set in---you guessed it---Tempting Turquoise! You know what I love about the Stampin' UP! punches--besides the fact that they are so easy to use? The stamps and punches coordinate and fit just perfectly, it just takes the guess work away! So with that said I punched out the flower with the 1 1/4" circle punch and punched a cirlce out of Chocolate Chip CS with the 1 3/8" circle punch. I added some Chocolate Chip ribbon and that's more or less it. Stay tuned for the tutorial I will be putting together for the spinner cards. This next spinner card is for the wonderful child in your life. I used Green Gable CS and used randomly stamped some of the animals from Wild About You stamp set in Green Galore. I just love the little penguin in this set.....and with the popularity of penguin movies lately what little kid doesn't? Wait a minute...did I just call myself a kid? LOL...well there's some truth in that...I'm a big kid at heart...LOL. With the bright colours and cool spinning action it's a really neat card for that special child on your life. Although, I know a few adults that have had fun spinning the card back and forth...LOL. Well as I said earlier I'm going to try to create a tutorial for a spinner card and figure out how to post it on the blog....just for all of my creative friends out there!
