This is project 10 of 10 in my "Adios Amigos" stamp camp. The camp features retiring sets and colors. Black gingham was sponged with orange. Wheel turns to show various images from the Bitty Boos set.

This is so cool! Is it easy to do? Can you share the directions? I just ordered this set, so I should be getting it next week. I would love to know how to make these. What a cool idea! And I love how you sponged the ribbon to make it orange. COOL! TFS!

I was lucky enough to receive a similar card in a swap - instant pattern! I used the 1 1/4" circle punch for the 'window'. Cut a 3" circle for the wheel. The trick is to figure out where the brad should go. As you can see in the picture, it's a little off center. Then use the circle punch again to create the 'notch' on the side where you spin it. I assembled the card - then stamped the images on the wheel. Stamp one image, rotate the wheel until the image is just barely showing, then stamp another image. Repeat until the wheel is full. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further details.

Hi,
One more thought on the directions . . . to determine where the brad goes, just cut a circle out of copy paper and fold in half, both ways. This will mark the center. Then, you can punch a small hole in the center and use this on your card circle to mark where the brad should go.

AZMommy~ COOL! Thank you so much for posting the directions! I've been checking back now and then to see if you did. This is such a neat card. And you could use it with so many other stamps too. I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration! And a thank you to Upstate Stamper for the tip on how to center the brad.

You're welcome! And just an FYI - what I meant by "off-center" was the brad's position under the punched window. It's slightly to the left. Good Times is another good set for a spinning wheel card.
