Another Pinwheel Card - for a Baby Girl

This pinwheel card was made especially for a baby girl.  I used retired DSP and decorated it using diecuts from Specially for Baby and other dies received in die cut exchanges.
This is the 5th of the 6 pinwheel cards that I made.  Only 1 more to decorate.

Another Pinwheel Card - for a 100th Birthday

This time I used the English Garden DSP, and decorated the bellyband with pop up balloons that lay flat for mailing.

The balloons were made using the stamp set "Balloon Celebration" stamping first in Rose Red and than with Cherry Cobbler ink.  They were punched using the Balloon Bouquet punch, a coiled thin wire was hot glued to the back of each balloon.
On the front of each balloon was each of the letter for 100, die cut in gold glimmer paper,
using the retired Timeless type Alphabet Junior Sizzlet" die.

This shows the attachment of the balloons to the bellyband around the folded card.

Close up of the Bellyband shows the rose made using the Blossom Petal Punch.  The Sentiment was stamped in Rose Red ink and is from the stamp set "Balloon Celebration"

After the former picture was taken I realized a bit of green was needed on the belly band, so I die cut a leaf from the Botanical Blooms Builder framelits.

The inside was stamped using the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  The flowers were coloured with Rose Red ink and blender pen. The colour was accented with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Supplies:
Stamps: Birthday Blooms, Balloon Celebration
Inks: Black Memento, Rose Red, Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow
Papers: English Garden DSP, Rose Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Gold Glimmer paper
Accessories: Botanical Blooms Builder, Balloon Bouquet punch, Blossom Builder punch, Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlets dies (retired), thin wires (non SU), glue gun

Pinwheel Card - To Someone Special

This special card fold card was made for a special event with the Canadian Die Exchange group.  The card technique this month was "Pinwheel" card.
I have made this card before, but I used a video tutorial by Julie deMatteao which made making this special fold very easy to make. The card itself did not take long to make - as usual, it's the decorating that takes the time.
I made about 6 of them, but so far have decorated only 1.
I used some of my own framelits, and some die cuts I have received from previous swaps.

Pinwheel Card - SUO challenge #126

The challenge this week with the SUO challenges is to feature designer paper in my card/project.  To do this I made a Pinwheel card.  I used a tutorial on Stars and Stamps here

Card:

• Basic card is Watermelon Wonder cardstock, layered with Whisper White, and then Cherry on Top DSP.
• A piece of 1" Watermelon Wonder dotted lace trim was attached down the middle, and a piece of DSP was attached horizontally across the bottom.
• The sentiment was stamped using Bermuda Bay ink and the 1" piece punched at both ends using the Triple punch.

Pinwheel:

•  Two pieces of DSP were cut at 2 5/8" square and eight pieces at 1 1/4" (4 each of 2 contrasting papers)
• The two large squares were adhered together at right angles to form the base of the pinwheel.
• The smaller squares were alternated and adhered to the corners of the base.  With the last one piece, lift up the first piece and slip  the last piece under the first square.

Flower: 

• A flower was adhered to the center.
• The following punches/framelit were used to make the flower:  1 1/4" scallop circle punch, Petite Petal punch, and a small star framelit. Two 1 1/4" scallop circle pieces were punched - one in Watermelon Wonder, and one in Bermuda Bay.  The Petite Petal was punch with Watermelon wonder.  The star was made using the small star framelit.  This became the leaf.
• Snip between evcry second scallop the scallop ciecles, and with the handle of a paint brush curl the snipped pieces.  Make a small snip between the petals of the Petite Petal punch, and curl up the petals the same way.

• Adhere all pieces together alternating petals.  Adhere the star under the flower, and a metal rimmed pearl in the middle.  Then attach the flower to the middle of the pinwheel using  hot glue
