Video showing the January Spinners release: https://youtu.be/FEBI18YFLf0

Today I used the Ai-Dog Spinner (Sku#4675) set for  my card.

I did some simple Copic coloring on the image.

The dies makes it super easy to create this spinner card.

This is how it looks when you open this card.

I don't have the gears or skills required for video making but here is a quick look at how my card works
