	Spinner Twister Cards Class by Melissa Baldwin Adapted from a live online class. These moving card is made from our new Twister die cut cards for a new twist! Supplies; Twister die cut cards (you can find these at the web-store in the "Bare Essentials" section) Circle punch or cutting system to create a cardstock circle that will fit inside the cut out window in the card. thin cord and decorative ribbon tape stamps, inks and general paper crafting supplies
This is how our die cut Twister Card come... with a square cut window that pop outs, and slits die cut on each side of the square
	The way this card works is that you punch out the die cut square and you can stamp on it then turn it and insert the corners into the die cut slits, and it will look something like this....(I used a yellow square so you could see it better)
You will need to punch or cut two circles from cardstock. These circles measure 2", and the square opening is 2.25"
	Stamp images on the punched out circles... one on each circle.
This will be the image on the back side of the spinner
	I decided to take my colors for this project from some of our new May Arts ribbon. Orange, green, and brown are very fashionable right now.
There are, of course, many...many ways to color in your stamped image. I am going to use watercolor pencils for my card, and the first step is to color the image with a light hand like this.
	Then go back and add shadows by shading certain areas with the same color... I also added pink for some rosy cheeks.
We are now going to blend all our colors together. I like to use a Dove blending pen as you have more control... and less water than a brush or water brush... although those work well too.
	This is how the image will look after the watercolor pencils have been blended.
Here are both circles stamped and colored, and I also added gray marker around the images... to make them pop!
	Let's STAMP some more! I used our Flower Power on the front of the card using TSS Dye ink; Tangerine, Chocolate, and VersaMagic Spanish Olive.
Now you will need to cut some white string to a nice length to work with... about as long as the height of the card. You can use just about any kind of "string-like" thing... floss, cording...
	Place glue on the back of each circle. I like to use my Dotto glue, or Yes glue
Glue the string between the two stamped circles.
	Just like this!
From the front of the card slide the top string through the top die cut slit, and then the bottom portion of the string through the bottom die cut slit.
	This is what it looks like inside the card
Put a little glue or tape to secure the string and trim the string
	I covered up the string and die cut slits with ribbon... thin strips of cardstock works just as well
lay out the ribbon the way you want it and then miter the corners by cutting from the inside corner to the outside point.... do that for all the corners.
	Glue the ribbon around the opening
Ribbon looks great... although I have to say cardstock is easier to work with.
	Do the same thing for the outside window.
The inside of the card will show through the front so I cut a rectangle of light papaya puree for the inside of the card and stamped my sentiment below where the die cut window is.
	Whala! Here is your finished card!
So you are probably wondering where the Spinner action comes in?! Try this.... before closing the card spin the circle part around about 10 times and close the card real quick..... then open the card and the circle will spin around! Cool Beans!! So when you are sending this card so someone... spin the circle around and around, close the card real quick and place it in an envelope. Then when the recipient opens the card it will spin around for them, and bring a smile to their face and they will be amazed at how clever you are!!
	Here is another example of a spinner card I made...can you tell I love the Flower Power set?! And I combined that with our new "Day In Paris" and "Inspired Thank You" set. I used cardstock here instead of ribbon for the framing and stamped on the cardstock after I had mitered the corners. Supplies; Palette ink pads; Chartreuse, Belle Rose, Lavender Sachet TSS Dye ink pads; Turquoise, Black Watercolor Prismatic Cardstock; Frosted Kiwi Distress Ink; Tea Dye (around the circles and card itself. Pattern paper; Lollipop Shoppe Collection, BasicGrey (inside the card)
