SSS January Card Kit Reveal: Twirling Skater & GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!

Today is reveal day for the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit and it is FABULOUS! Take a look at everything included inside:


Most components of the kit can also be purchased individually (see supply list at the end of the post).

I love the adorable Twirling Ice Skater Die included in this card kit and once I also saw the included thread the idea of a spinner card popped into my head:


I decided to keep the design of this card simple so the focus would be on the sweet little skater. I die cut her twice from two of the black tags included in the kit (I use the negative space of one for another card I'll be sharing soon) and sandwiched the string between the two pieces. I made a notecard from the SSS Surf Blue Cardstock included in January's Card Kit, diecutting an oval window in the front of it. I took a piece of the SSS Island Blue Cardstock and diecut it with Simon's largest Stitched Rectangle Die before cutting an oval window into it as well. The top and bottom of the string were sandwiched between these two pieces. I also diecut a piece of the Echo Park Celebrate Winter 6x6 Papers and adhered it inside my card so it would be visible through the window. I finished my little skater off with a Darice White Pompom (just on one side so she would sit flat on the card. My plan is write my message on the back of the card so it doesn't show through the window. :) 

I twisted the little skater a number of times before closing the card so that when the recipient of the card opens it up this is what will happen...






She twirls!!! How fun is that?!? 

I actually just finished teaching a bunch of grade 7 and 8 students an Interactive Christmas Card Class for 6 weeks and if I do it again I hope to add this card to it!
