Spinning Birthday Card

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.
