Sassy Jeni wanted to see a unusual fold card this week over at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog. I saw this spinner shape on
Dr. Sonja's Cards, Crafts and Kid's Projects Blog. Dr. Sonja's is all fancy and beautifully quilled, but I wanted a more classic simplicity look. I had colored this black and white
Funky Double Birthday Cake from Sassy Cheryl's and decided it would be perfect as a spinner card. Well honey I will just tell you it took me a day and a half to get it all to come together. An engineer I am definitely not and in the future I will stick to coloring and only try new shapes when I have exact measurements. I put this card together and tore it apart so often that the poor paper is worn out. In the end it was not to difficult of a card and should have been more easy to make, but I sure made a long drawn out affair of it. But it is finished and here it is.
I made this for one of my tellers and her favorite color is teal. She is a pretty modern gal, so I think she will like the simplicity of the black and white and teal. Card stock is SU, Zebra paper and ribbons are from my stash. I used a bamboo shish-kebob skewer to hold the spinner piece. Popped some silver brads and aqua bling dots on it. I made a scalloped border with my SU punch and I was done.
So simple, I bet my grandchildren could have made it with they eyes closed. Hope you enjoy and if you want a tutorial click on the link to Dr.Sonja's blog in the beginning of this post.

ReplyDeleteYou are so funny, Linda! I'm glad that you persevered and completed this creative little card. I'm sure it will be a big hit with your co-worker.
ReplyDeleteLOL over the description of your creative process. It looks pretty darn complicated to me, and you did a beautiful job with it. Love the black and white with the teal accent. I need an easy challenge for next week. How about you?
ReplyDeleteOH Linda I love yours more than mine-- honestly! It is so classy. I cant manage the classy look. First time is a struggle and I got stuck at my spinner part too.Yes its time consuming first time round. I am so thrilled you actually tried it.
ReplyDeleteThe sliding cake card is quite time consuming I only made it as the effect is so spectacular.
