Hello and happy Wednesday! Y'all know how I love creating interactive cards, so today's is another spinner card! This time I made a "wreath" (sorta) using the pine needle die and the pinecone image from the Scurry Over rubber stamp set, both are part of November's Club La-La Land Crafts kit. These spinners are so easy to make, and I'll show you how I did it below, but first here's a short clip showing how easily it spins!
Additional products used:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cut your Kraft cardstock base at 5.5" x 11" and score in half at 5.5"
- Cut white cardstock mat to 5 1/4" square and adhere to card base.
- Cut your designer paper to 5 1/8" square and adhere to white layer.
- Find the center of your designer paper layer (you can do this by using a T-ruler) and place a mark.
- Glue a button that is a li'l bit smaller than the SMALLEST die in the Double Stitched Circle Dies. Be sure the button is not humped in the middle - it should be somewhat flat across the top.
- Create a doughnut as the spinner
- Stack a 5" piece of copy paper onto your wood grain designer paper (or solid color cardstock of your choice) and CUT together using LARGEST die from the Double Stitched Circle Die
- Fold the copy paper circle in half and again in half again to find the center of your circle. Pierce a small hole in the center of that circle where the lines intersect.
- Unfold that circle and place on top of your wood grain designer paper circle and either pierce the center hole in that circle, or make a mark using a pen
- Place the SMALLEST circle die in the center of your larger circle and add washi tape or other low-tack tape to hold the die in place. Add the copy paper circle directly behind that circle, lining it up (you might add a li'l piece of washi tape to adhere the 2 circles together) and CUT
- Now, using the copy paper circle, place both the Largest and Smallest circle dies onto the paper circle and place on top of a piece of cardstock (can be white cardstock) and CUT
- Glue your 2 cardstock circles together with the BACKS facing each other. (This step just helps the spinner to move better, so you don't have the rough side after die-cutting on the backside.)
- Place the doughnut over your button and with your finger on the button, spin the doughnut to make sure it spins nicely.
- Glue a stamped & colored image to the top of your button, or you can glue a circle cardstock with a sentiment on it.
- Decorate around the doughnut! Be careful not to get your items too close to the image on your button or it will get caught up and not spin freely.
