Spinner Card | Pretty Poinsettia
Nothing says Christmas quite like a beautiful poinsettia!
Bring a touch of holiday elegance to your handmade Christmas cards using the new Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (stamps + coordinating dies). I’ve added a simple plaid designer paper from A Stitched Season 12″ x 12″ package to emphasize the leaves and pine.
I used Baker’s Twine for my spinning mechanism but consider monofilament or thread. Alcohol-based Stampin’ Blends Markers are perfect for creating custom colored gems!
For this sample, I reused the circle that was die cut from the front of the card on the inside. It lets the beautiful designer paper remain visible while giving the spinning image a finished, balanced look.
Spinner Card | Simply Leaves
Instead of using designer series paper, create your own unique background with random stamping. It’s a simple technique that’s perfect when you don’t have just the right pattern paper.
The Simply Leaves Bundle, featuring coordinating stamps and a punch, makes creating colorful fall leaf clusters quick and easy. I used Linen Thread for the spinner mechanism and finished it with a matching bow to tie all the textures together.
I wanted the greeting to stand out, so I cut it using a label die from the Lovely Arrangements Dies. Be sure to look through your die collection. You might be surprised how many labels and shapes mix and match beautifully across different sets.
Carrying the leaf design to the inside of the card creates a seamless transition and beautifully ties the entire design together.
Festive Cheer
The color palette on this card couldn’t be simpler. The rich Secret Sea designer paper provides the perfect layer, allowing the white and silver spinner to really shine.

These alphabet dies are part of the Festive Cheer Bundle. Their clean, slim design makes them perfect for adding custom greetings to cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafting projects.
Unlike my other samples, this card uses a simple stamped snowflake background instead of designer paper. The Secret Sea frame adds rich contrast and beautifully highlights the crisp white cardstock.
