Pinwheel Tower Fancy Fold card with video & free projects sheet!

Here's another card we made at my July Card Clubs.  I always try to feature one fun fold card and this was a doozy!  

When they saw the many pieces they were a bit worried it would be hard.  But as we made it together they loved it!  Be sure to watch the video here or below; it's so much easier than it looks!

This card is super fun to play with; it reminds me of a 'never ending' card.  You can turn and turn it and see something new each time. But the finished card lays flat and is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" so it fits nicely in an envelope.  

Besides the Gorgeously Made stamp set (seen here) I chose the Layering Leaves (seen here) for the pretty greetings and leaf images.

I chose to feature the Countryside Inn designer series paper seen here with it's many shades of Blue.  I chose to use Night of Navy and White card stock, Navy and Boho Blue inks. 

You can find the measurement, photos, directions and supplies list here on this free project sheet. Download July 23 Pinwheel Tower card

Countryside Inn 4 fold Save

Each of the 4 panels of Navy card stock is adhered to the center 'tower' made from a 4 1/4" square of designer paper. Once you have your card base created it's simple to add the 6 pieces of DSP and your stamped panels. 

I also used the Radiating Stitches dies seen here (online exclusive) and the Stylish Shapes dies for the greeting.  The ribbon is the Night of Navy 3/8" bordered ribbon.

  • Spotlight on Nature unique Z-fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this unique & easy fun fold card on last week's Live video.  

    Spotlight on Nature club cards Save

    It doesn't look like a fun fold card does it?  I featured it at my May Card Clubs.  I love the way the detailed die is popped up on Dimensionals which shows off the die-cut pattern. There's a simply trick to stamp over the die-cut after you cut out the die shape; watch the video to learn how. 

    It features three new In Colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. The colors include Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock & Peach Pie. I colored in the butterfly & flowers with Pretty in Pink & Peach Pie blends.  Want to know how to do this?  Watch the video here or below. I love combining two colors like this!

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June too! See it here.

    I'm calling it a Z-fold because the inside White layer is folded like a 'Z'. It connects the card front and the card base & opens like this:

  • Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

    May Judith diagonal Save

    This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside.  So pretty!!

    Measurements:

    • DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • White inside 3" X 5 1/4" 

    Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

    Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!
