gotta spin by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Thursday!
 
Today I am using one of the Ai Spinners...but my card doesn't spin!  I wanted to show you how fun these images are to also use them in a different way.  I've created a card with an acetate card front and added the front and back of the Chair Spinner
 

For some reason, this image always reminds me of a teacher...hence the paper I chose with the ruler markings!  Since it is Back To School time, I thought I'd make a teacher card.  Although...I really think she looks like she is celebrating the END of the year!  LOL!

I used a black Sharpie to outline the acetate front.  The cardstock base was cut to 5" x 5 1/2", then I scored the 5" side at 4 1/4".  This gives a narrow strip by the fold to attach the acetate to.  I then covered this cardstock edge and the left of the acetate with the die cut speech bubble border (inside & out).


The Chair Spinner dies make it SUPER EASY to perfectly line up the front & back images.


Happy stamping!

What a great idea for a school/teacher card! The polka dot 'word bubble' is such a good one!!!
