Spinner Card

Instructions: To create this card you need two pennies and the Word Window punch.

First create the front of your card and punch a long slot in it using the Word Window punch. I made my slot longer by using the punch three times, moving it over each time I punched.
Stamp and punch out your "spinning" image. You want to use a punch or a circle cutting system to create this piece, because you want it to be perfectly symmetrical. If it is not symmetrical, it will not spin very well. I used the scallop punch.
Take two pennies and place dimensionals in the center of each. You want to try to get the dimensionals in the exact center of the pennies or else the spinner will spin a bit crooked.
Place one of the pennies into the Word window slot with the dimensional facing up and fitting into the slot.
Stick the second penny on top of the first, again trying to keep everything as centered as possible. The stack will be penny, dimensional, penny dimensional
Attach the spinning image onto the center of the second penny.
Flip everything over and attach dimensionals to the back of the front of the card. You need to double up the dimensionals. Each one you see pictured is a stack of two. Make sure they will not interfere with the movement of the penny. You want to use plenty of dimensional. If you only place them in the corners, the front of your card will sag under the weight of the pennies and will not spin well.
  Here is the completed card.
