Pinwheel Tower card

Hello my friends,

I do love a fancy fold card and I have seen many of these pinwheel tower cards recently so just had to make one.

Although this card may seem difficult it is really quite easy. 

I used Mint Macaron card (#138344) for the base.

The measurements for Mint Macaron cardstock  are 1 at 15.5cm x 10.5cm and scored at 2cm, 4cm, 6cm and 8cm along the long side, and 3 at 7.5cmx10.5cm.

Fold the score lines and form a square as shown below. I glued this with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

Then add each of the other pieces on each face of the square as shown-

The Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (#155499) was cut in the following sizes -3 at 7cm x 10cm, 3 at 5cm x 10cm and 1 at 2.5cm x 10cm.  On the side with the Basic White card (#159228) which I cut at 5.3cm x 10cm, I added the piece of DSP on the side however if you want more area to write your message use a white card 7cm x 10cm. Attach each of the pieces of Designer Series Paper to the card.

I added sentiments to 3 of the larger sides. I used Encircled In Friendship stamp set (#155408) and Elegantly Said stamp set (#155095) and they were all stamped with Highland Heather ink (#147103). The dies to cut these are from the Ornate Frames Dies (#150664) and the Potted Succulents Dies (#154330). 

The flower images were cut using the Meadow dies (#155852) and the Penned Flowers Dies (#155557). I coloured the cut-outs with Highland Heather ink, Mint Macaron ink (#147106), Blushing Bride ink (#147100) and Granny Apple Green ink (#147095). 

I glued each of the elements and sentiments using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I chose not to use dimensionals as I didn't want to have too much extra thickness to the card.

The sizes used here give a finished card 15cm x10.5cm, so is the same size as a normal size card and it folds flat for postage.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542). I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) onto Basic Black card (#121688) and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder from the Basics Pack (#155554) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

I stamped the floral image from the Hand-Penned stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) for the outline. The flowers were stamped with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) and Highland Heather ink (#147103). The leaves were stamped with Mint Macaron ink (#147106).

I attached the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to the Basic Black card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the floral image to the Basic White card which had been embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing folder (#152725). I also added glitter to the flowers and leaves with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897). The Mint Macaron embellishments from the Genial Gems (#155500) were added to the card.
