Been a while

It has been a day since I made a spinner card. I think it’s that kind of interactive design that is just timeless. And, maybe the reason that someone might get hooked on papercrafting. The beauty of a spinner card is that it doesn’t have to be super involved. Make the spinner element the star (pun totally intended), and the background and sentiment becomes a supporting character.

Nested dies FTW!

Nested dies make spinner designs as easy as can be. Of course, Scrapbook.com carries a whole line of nested dies. These stars couldn’t have worked out better. Actually, the more I look at it, the more I feel like I should be advertising for a department store (you know the one…). I seriously just saw that, and now I can’t unsee it. This card shall forever be known as the Macy’s Card.

share and inspire someone today!

You can make this card!

And, I’ll show you how. Even if you’re an old hat to spinner cards and really just need the photo reference (don’t forget to pin a pic), I’ve got some helpful hints on cutting the spinner opening and assembling the spinner itself. Enjoy!

  3. Love interactive cards. The spinning star
    shines so bright. I look forward to

  6. Love this card. I’ve never made a spinner card but I’m going to try it now. My favorite tradition is our family game night on Christmas Eve. The elves deliver new pajamas, we eat appetizers and pizza and play all sorts of games. Thank you!

  7. What a neat card idea! Looks super simple … and you could use just about anything in the middle, hearts, balloons, pumpkins, etc. Christmas is filled with so many memories. My favorite memory is being with my Grama and seeing what color her tree was each year … either traditional (multi color w/ silver icicles), or a Chrismon tree with white/gold ornaments (all of which were hand-made). This will be our 2nd Christmas without her. I would give anything to see her tree again (she was 102 the last time she put her tree up … She would have been 104 on Dec. 3rd.) I miss her and all her traditions!

    • This is the first spinner card I’ve seen made. Fun and relatively easy. Treasure holidaymoment: when your colleagues insist on getting their ówn handmade Christmas card because the liked the one from last year so much they don’t wanna share with the whole office.

    A cherished memory is making Scandinavian Almond Bars nearly every year since about 1987. A friend made them and shared the recipe. It’s been a family favorite ever since and one of my go-to holiday baking recipes!

  17. I just learned something new! I had seen shaker-card vids before, but believe it or not, never a spinner card. Thx for the tutorial & the “bonus” tips. The cards turned out great!

    My all-time favorite handmade gift is a sweatshirt my college-roommate’s mom made for me. It was counted cross-stitch w/“I Love Music” across the top, then a penguin playing the xylophone. I had never owned anything w/my instrument on it before, so I was thrilled!! I still have it – can’t part w/it!! ?

  18. I love a good spinner and this is one! Very clever! Thanks for all you hard work in putting this together. It was fun hopping with you!

  19. Fantastic card!!! We put our tree up each year the day after thanksgiving…we typically go out and cut our tree. This year there weren’t many good ones to pick from…so we went with a precut tree…still fun to explore the lot and a lot less grumbling about hauling a tree for acres to the truck!!!
