Christmas Pinwheel Tower Card








Hello my crafty friends!

Today's card is a Pinwheel Tower Card I created.  I saw onw of these cards on Facebook but I can't remember who posted the card as I always like to give credit to my inspiration.  This card is another fun and easy card to create.  The hardest part is of the whole card is deciding what you want to put on each side.  So many possibilities.  I did use Spellbinders Susan's Garden Hot Foil Tree and some White Pine branches both from newest release Winter Garden.

Card base was created using YouTube video found here  Card is a slimline card 4" X 9" but she also gives measurements for other size cards.

Patterned paper is once again P13 Winter Gatherings

Each side was decorated differently using tags, sentiments etc.

Front of card I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden White Pine from S5-515 Winter Evergreen Winter Garden Release.  The poinsettia was fussy cut from the patterned paper snow added and was added to card front using dimensional tape.  Spellbinders S4-1150 Fluted Classic Circles used for sentiment.

For other sides supplies used:

Glimmer Hot Foil Tree GLP-336 Spellbinders Susan's Garden from new release Winter Garden
Glimmer Hot Foil Rainbow GLF-042
Spellbinders Susan's Garden Winter Gardens and Holiday stamp sets
Scrapbook.com Nested Tags wafer thin dies
CTMH Stamp set D1542 For A Friend
CTMH Itty Bitty Gems
Papericious Frosting Powder
Art Glitter Glue Dries White

This is a really easy and fun card to do so I do hope you will try one.  This card has endless possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective p...

Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...
