Hello everyone!! Recently I saw a few cards with spinners. I've never made one of those before and the idea fascinated me. So I decided to make one and since I'm in the Christmas card mode, the ornament seemed like a perfect fit ;)
I started with the ornament. I gold embossed 2 ornaments from Joanna Sheen's Make a Wish (this is no longer available, but happens to be my favorite). I colored them by sponging Distress Ink Barn Door and Vintage Photo just around the edges. The embossing resists the ink. Now to make the window, I die cut a oval from my white card base and a kraft card stock. I took a piece of fishing line and sandwiched it between the ornaments - the back side of the ornaments facing each other with the thread in between them. I hope that makes sense. I adhered it on the card base, with the ornament in the middle of the window. On the kraft card stock, I gold embossed the design and sentiment from Penny Black - A Bright Tomorrow stamp set. Now I adhered it on to the card base by aligning the window. It was pretty easy to make, but is so beautiful with the interactive element.
Hope you will give this a try. Allison Cope had a detailed video tutorial on the Power Poppy Blog.
I will be sharing a Fall card tomorrow using the new freebie from Inspired By Stamping newsletter, that will be in the newsletter tomorrow morning.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you have a great weekend.

So pretty! I love holiday cards in non-traditional colors!! The shine from embossing powder makes this card so special and the ornament is lovely! Thank you for sharing your card with us at Retro Rubber and hope you will join us again soon.
This ornament looks amazing, I bet it looks even more beautiful in real life when it's spinning.
