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.

Meadow Dies

Hello everyone,

I used the Linen 12”x12” Specialty Paper (#155681) for these flowers & leaves. This already has adhesive on the back, so makes it easy to adhere it to the card.

Before cutting the flowers & leaves I coloured the linen using Blending Brushes (#153611) with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Highland Heather ink (#147103), Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and Balmy Blue ink (#147105). After cutting these with the Meadow Dies (#155852), I added some extra colour around the edges using Sponge Daubers (#133773). These were then adhered to the Basic White card front (#159228) which was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406).  The edges of the cardfront were daubered with Highland Heather ink. The base card is also Basic White.

The sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Highland Heather ink. This was cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Elegant Faceted Gems (#152464) were attached to the sentiment and flowers.

Quiet Meadow Bundle

Hello,

When a new catalogue comes out it is easy to forget some of the great products in the Annual catalogue, so today I have used the Quiet Meadow Bundle (#155847) which I had almost “forgotten” about.

I stamped the image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). The flowers were coloured with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends (#154884) and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends (#155520). The leaves and stems were coloured with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). I then dry embossed this card front with the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#152718) and daubered the edges with Polished Pink ink (#155712).

I attached the Polished Pink card (#155711) to the Very Vanilla base card, then added the card front.

Using dies from the Meadow dies (#155852), I cut the Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and Polished Pink card. The Granny Apple Green card was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334), so these were easily attached to the card. The Polished Pink flowers were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The sentiment from the Quiet Meadow stamp set was stamped with Polished Pink ink and cut with another die from the Meadows Dies. The White Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) was attached to the card, then the sentiment was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added the From My Heart Faceted Gems (#151154) to the die-cut pink flowers and onto the card front to finish the card.
