Make It Monday #273: Spinner Cards

What a fun way to make an interactive card.  I can't say that I have ever made a spinner card, and this was a special challenge.  Most of you that know me, are aware that I am not at my home base.  Therefore, I don't have all of the supplies that are needed.  I was only lacking the thread that I needed for a spinner card.  Do I run off to find a store, and buy a spool of thread?  I am too impatient when I get a card idea, so I searched in my travel bag and found a small sewing kit that has been there for years, in case of an emergency.  There, I found a small length of white thread that I needed.  This will be just one chance to accomplish the task, as that was all there was.

Check out how Lizzie makes her spinner card.  She used a heart which is appropriate for the Valentine holiday, but I have made enough Valentine cards and was thinking in another direction.  This is what I came up with.
Using the dies and stamps from the PTI set, Uncorked, I made this card, following Lizzie's instructions. The base is Dark Chocolate card stock with white layer on the top.  I die cut the glass out of gold foil paper and also used that along the side of the white panel.  I also used my much used, stitched rectangle and circle dies from Lil' Inker. This angle best shows the gold foil paper. That sentiment says it all. 

I will be entering this in the Make it Monday challenge this week.  Click on Lizzie's name to  find that.
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a closer look and to leave a comment.  They brighten by day.

  6. Love how you framed that glass of wine and all the white around withe the gold foil this would be good for a male of female. It is actually quite elegant. Of course, you had a sewing kit in your travel bag. Great card.

  8. Great choice for your spin card. I love the design and that is something I have never tried either. There seems to be so many things I still need to try in making cards. I think it is a never ending thing which is good as one can always find something to interest them.

  9. This is so stinkin' AWESOME!!! I think that using the wine glass is perfect, and I LOVE the greeting. How funny that you have to use thread from you little emergency kit. I bet when you stuck that in your purse you NEVER thought you would use the thread for that. I adore this card!!!!
