Instructions
1.
Fold ½ sheet of cardstock in half (5½”x8½”) to form A2 size card. Stamp
More Mustard layer with images of your choice if desired and set aside.
2.
Stamp scrap cardstock with image for spinner. Apply color to image at
this point using mediums of your choice. Use mini glue dot to attach one penny
to the back of the stamped spinner. Add one dimensional to the back of the
penny, and then add the second penny. The dimensional will be sandwiched between
the two pennies.
3.
Using a pencil, mark the So Saffron layer where you want the spinner to
be. The cut slot needs to be ¼” wide to allow the spinner to spin. I have found
that the slot size will depend on which brand of dimensionals, or pop dots that
are being used. If you need to make the slot larger, you can make the
adjustment. Use the paper trimmer or hobby blade to cut the slot.
4.
Stamp the front of the spinner card layer. Insert the spinner into the
bottom of the slot first, and then gently pop the top of the spinner into the
slot. The spinner should move freely back and forth in the slot when held
upright.
5.
Place dimensionals on the back of the spinner layer. See photo for
placement. Pull off backings from the dimensionals and mount to the More Mustard
layer. Next, mount this
layer to the base card.
Additional ideas: Trying making a curved or diagonal slot for the spinner, or
use different size coins. If the image you wish to have spin is smaller than the
penny, mount the image to a round tag or circle punch so that the penny will be
covered.
