Birthday Card - Spinner - Lion

Birthday Lion Spinner Card

Back again with another spinner card, this card is similar to my previous bear spinner card, which you can find here. However this time I'm using a watercolored lion die cut, an orange card base and utilizing a card front with a window cut out I found in my crafty stash. If you prefer to watch a video click here or view below for the process video.



I have this white note card with a slanted window cut out of it. This note card was torn and ripped in a few places so I needed to conceal those imperfections. I decided to make a spinner card.

First step was to die cut the windows for the spinning element to spin inside. Using the note card with the window already cut out of it, I lined up a matching sized orange notecard and the front cover of an orange card base. Then I cut out the windows using my Big Shot die cutting machine.

I took the orange notecard (with the window cutout) and black heat embossed "happy birthday" under the window.

Time to make the spinner element. I grabbed the white note card and taped some red string I found across the window, securing it using double-sided tape and ensuring the string is taught. I then sandwiched the string between the front and back images of the lion using double-sided tape.

To assemble the card, I adhered the orange note card to the front of the white note card using double-sided tape; making sure to  line up the windows. Then I did the same to adhere the card front to the card base.

All done.

Happy crafting!
