Pinwheel Tower Card

The Fancy Folds Design Team is back with another blog hop! And this month we’re making a Pinwheel Tower card. I love the look of this card! And I love that it fits in one of my usual invitation envelopes! LeeAnn Greff has a good video with measurements that you can check out here.

For my design I decided to make a holiday card. I’m definitely getting into the holiday season. And for this card I decided to use some returning products. I started with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and used it to pull my colour combination; Pear Pizzazz and Real Red. Pear Pizzazz is such a nice shade of green. Plus I love just about all the designs in this paper pack so it didn’t take much to coordinate the different designs. I even made sure to match up the designs when the card is flat. Check it out…

To go with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP I decided to use the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and coordinating dies. I’m so glad that these are still in the Annual Catalogue! These were a go to for me last year when they first came out. And I love going back to it every once in a while. To add a little something more to my card I layered two of the small poinsettias to create a fuller one. Then I added a Pearl Basic Jewels to the centre of them as well as a few to one of the larger stamped poinsettias.

The phrase and blank piece of cardstock were cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. These dies are a new favourite of mine and I love the different designs.

I had a lot of fun designing my Pinwheel Tower card. And as usual it turned out to be easier to make than I initially thought! Make sure to keep going on this month’s blog hop and check out Gina Connor’s design here.
