CTMH Circle Spin Cards

Hey everyone - - hope you are all having a great weekend!   I was sifting through pics on my computer and came across a few projects that I realized I hadn't yet shared here on the blog.     I wanted to share with you a super fun product CTMH carries for card-makers - - Circle Spin cards.    These cards just add a little something extra and bring your homemade cards to the next level!     Each card has a square cutout window and there is a cardstock circle, suspended with string inside the window.   You decorate both sides of the little cardstock circle.   When you open the card, the circle spins around - so fun!   

Here are a few examples:

CTMH Frosted collection

CTMH Laughing Lola collection

CTMH Laughing Lola and Proplayer collections

CTMH Babycakes & Huntington collections

CTMH Proplayer & Laughing Lola collections

Here are some of the other products used on these cards (don't you love these super cute stamps - only $2.95 each!):

You can find all of these products on my WEBSITE.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
