Hello & welcome. Today I'm sharing a new to me 3d fancy fold card that makes me very happy and hope that it makes the recipient smile too. This is my Design Team project for this week's Just Add Ink challenge - Just Add a Frame. I haven't made many 3d & fancy fold cards lately but when I spotted the lovely Patty Bennett's Pinwheel Tower cards & tutorial, I knew it would be perfect to send to a dear friend who also loves a fancy fold. It's surprisingly easy to make, especially thanks to Patty's tips. I adapted the size of my card to work better with A4 card & metric measurements. It's approx 21cm x 14.5cm folded flat. I've used lots of my current & new fave stamps and dies to make it, including the Biggest Wish stamp set, Stitched Greenery die and Pierced Blooms dies. If you've seen my recent cards, you'll have spotted some too. This is a super photo heavy post so let's get started with a look at the finished card. The brilliant thing about pinwheel cards is you have 8 sections to decorate. This is the front of the card when open. The colours are Coastal Cabana, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, and gold. The stamped sentiments are Soft Sea Foam and Night of Navy. See & shop the full list of supplies here in my SU store. I considered this opening view as the front. The card is quite thick when flat so this is the only section where I've popped up and layered elements. The front set the scene to carry themes through the card. Here are sections 2, 3, & 4. Each has it's own look while maintaining continuity of elements across the whole. Read on below for more info about each section. Here's a more upright view so you can why it's called a pinwheel card (or it could be a windmill card too). Amazingly, only 4 pieces make up the basic card. A long piece that's scored to make the square centre and 1 vane of the pinwheel, and 3 rectangle pieces that attach to the centre to make the remaining 3 vanes. Patty shows this very well in her video. Card Design Breakdown As I mentioned above, the card folds flat for posting. This version is approx 21cm x 14.5cm flat and fits a C5 envelope (normally used for half A4 sheets). Here's how each side looks flat and some notes about the design. Section 1 - Front This is how the recipient will see the card when it comes out of the envelope. Note that you can see the whole of the smaller left panel plus part of the next page, so bear that in mind when you're choosing colours & elements for your version. These are the main elements used on the front and throughout the card: Raised frame using the Stitched Greenery die & Stitched Rectangle dies. 'Thanks friend' sentiment from my most used current stamp set, Biggest Wish, teamed with the largest Tailor Made Tags die. If Biggest Wish is not on your shopping list yet, you must add it now as it's so fun & flexible for so many people & occasions. (See all my other Biggest Wish cards here if you need more convincing). Die cut flowers cut from the Pierced Blooms die set. I love, love, love these dies. There are so many shapes included for you to mix and match. Gold foil frame & leaf elements from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack. I love how they delicately contrast with the bold flowers. Section 2: I used 2 paper prints from the Brights Collection stack (Coastal Cabana & Melon Mambo) here, plus a sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set combined with the large 'friend' image from Biggest Wish. Section 3: I included another stitched frame and gold foil hexagon frame & leaf elements from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack and another sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set. Section 4: The final section includes another stitched frame, blank this time for a personal message. So that's my frame challenge project. Check out all our Design Team Projects on the Just Add Ink blog and play along with the challenge too. I hope you've enjoyed seeing my first Pinwheel Tower card and are inspired to make your own. Please leave me a comment if you do like it, and if you'd like more information about how I made my version. See and shop all the supplies I've used here on my Stampin' Up Store. I have some more Pierced Blooms cards to share with you soon so keep an eye out for those.

I was challenged to make another Pinwheel Tower card and this one has 12 flaps.... yes, 12. It wasn't hard but it was time consuming. I even made a video that you can watch on my YouTube channel (link in the sidebar) and give it a try! (This post contains affiliate links. When you shop through my links {most are at the end of this post}I may receive a commission at NO cost to you! Thanks so much for your support!) I have a lot of photos to share and I haven't finished the card! This is looking down on the top. You can see each side has 3 flaps with 1 going the opposite direction of the top and bottom flaps! I have very little Valentine or Anniversary products or that will fit these flaps so many are empty. But you can add white or lightly colored layers and write on them. The Love and You are from a Spellbinders die set called Love You More. The blue heart is from their retired Heart Felt die set then I embossed it and layered it on the same red as the Love & You. All the print paper is old Spellbinders pads from long ago. This is my base with measurements and score lines along with the size of the flaps. Here I've scored my base. The small adhesive flapped is adhered inside the card. You should watch my video for the basic assembly. I have found many great samples on Pinterest but this design I got at our local stamp club in Tucson. Stampin Carol He who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

Hi Everyone, Today, I am hopping with the Ink Stamp Share group and showcasing products from the new Stampin' Up! annul catalogue. I've chosen the Pansy Petals Suite because it's my favourite and my inspiration comes from a card I saw on Mixed Up Crafts with Sam Calcott, check out her YouTube channel and blog, she is a very talented crafter. Materials 1 piece of blackberry bliss card stock 7" x 6", 3 pieces 3" x 6" 4 pieces of fresh freesia card stock 2 3/4" x 5 3/4", 4 pieces 1 3/4" x 5 3/4" 4 pieces of dsp 2 1/2" x 5 1/2", 4 pieces 1 1/2" x 5 1/2", 3 flowers and leaves from the dsp sheets 2 pieces of basic white approx 2 1/2" x 3 1/3" for the rectangles Scraps of evening evergreen, fresh freesia and basic white for the die cuts Blackberry bliss ink Stampin Cut and Emboss machine Stitched So Sweetly dies Pansy dies Pansy Patch stamp set Trimmer Simply scored Bone folder Multipurpose adhesive Dimensionals Instructions On the long side, score the largest piece of blackberry bliss at 1", 2", 3" and 4" and fold and burnish all the score lines. These score lines will fold around to form the square tube in the centre of the card, adhere in place. Each of the three other blackberry bliss pieces form the other fins and need to be adhered around the central tube (see picture). Adhere all the mat layers, all the way around and then the dsp layers, leaving equal borders on all sides. Die cut 2 stitched scalloped rectangles from the basic white card and 2 stems and the buds from the coloured card. You can die cut the flowers and leaves from the dsp or fussy cut them with your paper snips, whichever you prefer. Stamp your sentiments on both of the rectangles and then adhere them to opposite sides of the card, one front and one back to write your message. Then decorate the plainer panels with cut out flowers as shown in the pictures. I hope that you like my card and will give it a try. Now please pop over and see what the next project is, you are sure to be filled with inspiration.
