Hello friends! I love a good surprise inside a card, don't you?!!! Today I'm sharing how to create this inside fairy spinner showcasing the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set! Not only is the card front a darling little fairy scene but when you open up the card there's a surprise inside with a spinning fairy! All the stamped images and greetings are from the Fairytale Spinner stamp set. I love keeping it easy like that! Let's get started!

THE CARD FRONT
The card base was created by trimming Hero Arts Arctic Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scoring in half at 4 1/4".
A piece of Hero Arts Mist Cardstock was trimmed to 3" x 5 1/2" and stenciled with the Simon Says Stamp All The Clouds Stencil and Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink. Once the ink was dry, a sentiment and "sparkles" from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped over the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Grassy Edges Die to create two borders, inked with Simon Says Stamp Teal Ink, and adhered along the bottom edge of the scene as shown.
A piece of smooth white cardstock was trimmed to 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and a Simon Says Stamp Scallop Stitches Die was used on both long sides to add detailing. The stenciled panel was adhered to the white strip.
A fairy, butterflies, and flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
- Fairy: Beige, Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Mustard, Pale Yellow, Light Blue, Blender, Bright Yellow, Yellow
- Purple Butterfly: Dark Pink, Purple
- Blue Butterfly: Blue, Light Blue
- Pink Flower: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
- Yellow Flower: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Yellow, Green, Yellow Green
- Red Flower: Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
The images were die cut with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Dies and adhered to the scene strip to liquid glue or foam adhesive.
THE INSIDE SPINNER PANEL
Hero Arts Mist Cardstock was trimmed to 5 1/4" x 8 1/2" (just a 1/4" shorter on one side than a standard A2 card). The card was scored at 4 1/2" and then 2 1/4" from each side.
The inside of the Hero Arts Arctic Card Base and the spinner panel were stenciled with the Simon Says Stamp All The Clouds Stencil and Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink. Once the ink was dry, a sentiment and "sparkles" from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped over the panels with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. This brings the design from the front of the card to the inside for a cohesive look!
The front and back of another fairy, butterflies, and flowers from the Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Stamp and Die Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
- Fairy (both front and back): Beige, Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Mid Brown, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Yellow Green, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink
- Purple Butterfly: Dark Pink, Purple
- Purple Butterfly: Light Violet, Pale Violet
- Pink Flower: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
- Yellow Flower: Bright Yellow, Yellow, Pale Yellow, Green, Yellow Green
- Red Flower: Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Green, Light Green, Yellow Green
- Light Purple Flower: Light Violet, Pale Violet, Green, Yellow Green
- Dark Purple Flower: Dark Pink, Purple, Light Green, Yellow Green
The images were die cut with the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Fairytale Spinner Dies.
The floral images and butterflies were adhered along the bottom edge of the panel being sure to avoid any of the scored lines.
A piece of thin thread was adhered at the top and bottom of the circular opening using a nice, strong adhesive. You want to make sure the thread is nice and taut so that the image on the string will spin!
The string was sandwiched between the front and back fairy images using liquid adhesive.
Strong double side adhesive was placed along the two outer sides of the inside panel (see video) and adhered to the inside of the card. You want to make sure and avoid adding adhesive to that center pop up panel so that the card will pop open and the image will spin!
