Krafty Tips and Tuts - Spinner card

Hello krafty friends! Danielle here with your 

Krafty Tips and Tuts for this week.  

I thought it would be fun to show you how to create a

spinner card using one of the fun stamps from 

Ice, Ice Baby.  Are you ready?  Good! Let's go!

First you want to start with a cardstock panel sized 

3 7/8" x 5 1/8" to create the slider/spinner opening.

I used a word window punch to create the slider opening.

You could also use a die cut if you have one that 

would create such an opening. 

Start on the far right side and make your first punch

then move the punch to the left and make a second and 

third punch along the panel (it works best to make sure

that your cardstock is all the way in the punch as you move.

You'll end up with something that looks like this

After I did this I used an embossing folder and ran it

through my Big Shot to get a the snowflake texture on it. 

Repeat that same process on a second piece of cardstock

sized 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and glue it to the first panel you've

created (make sure to use a good strong adhesive so your 

layers don't separate around the slider opening.

(Here I hadn't yet cut down the top of the colored panel 

to the size I mentioned above).   Hint: it is a good idea

to stamp a sentiment (if you want one) on the first layer

either before you emboss or glue the two pieces together.

Next you will create your slider piece using a couple pennies and 

some foam dimension dots (note: round ones work best).

Place one dot on a penny and two dots and another penny

on your image that will slide/spin on your card - like this

Then put your stamped image/element on both sides

of your panel (from the front and back). 

Now you need to adhere the panel to a base.  

I used a strong adhesive foam tape so that there is

just a little gap around the slider opening and some

depth to allow for spinning as you move the card. 

(note: I put one more piece of the foam tape on my panel halfway 

between the top and the penny for extra stability).  Add to the

 card base and now you have a spinner card. 

As you move/tip the card from side to side the image

should spin across the opening - kinda like this:

(note: I tipped it and then straightened out again for the photo)

The first couple of times you move this it might spin

a bit slower - but the more you do it the faster it will start to spin.  

What do you think?  Wanna give it a try?  

Thanks for popping in to see my tutorial today! 

Hope your day is a great krafty day!!
