I had a few extra minutes, so I decided to watch a few YouTube videos to learn something new today. I have seen so many spinner cards on Pinterest and wanted to make one. I found Linda Gutierrez's Video very helpful. Spinner cards are so much fun and I know my little granddaughters would love to receive one in the mail.
I wasn't sure what stamp to use, so I decided to go with the cute little elephant in the You're Amazing Stamp Set. It will be retired in a few weeks, but I will keep it around. I really like this set. Tara's Challenge at the Friday Mashup called for "Stripes" and "Moveable Parts." I had so much fun making this card. It doesn't leave a lot of room for ribbons, bows or much bling because you need room for the elephant to flip. I will be on the look out for more stamps that will be work for the spinner.
This little Elephant loves to spin around when you shake the card! :)))
