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

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.

  • Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video


    If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out. 

    You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132.  Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston.  It was a surprise perk for attendees. 

    Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year.  In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.

    Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog: 

    My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc.  Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.  

    My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple. 

    If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package. 

    Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.

  • Do you save your scraps? Look what I did with mine!


    Do you ever save your tiny scraps in the hopes of creating something with them?  When I saw the little petals left from this pretty die-cut I saw a flower in my head.  What do you think?  Would you save them? 

     

    This pretty & delicate die-cut is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle in the new catalog. When I prepped cards for a Team Meeting a few weeks ago I had to save the pieces & try this! It features our new 2024-26 In Color Glimmer specialty paper in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This catalog goes live tomorrow!  May 1st!!

    Here are the three cards I made with the finished flowers: 

    From left to right the colors are Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop.  

    I glued the petals to a small circle; then added the white center (Zinnia die) over them.
    The large leaf die is from the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle & the circles are from the new Spotlight on Nature bundle (the dotted circle is from Everyday Details).

    The card above is Petunia Pop color.  The pretty designer paper is our new 2024-26 Designer paper pack. I heat embossed the greeting (Spotlight on Nature set) with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. That pop of Black on a card adds a bit of elegance. 

    Which is your favorite of these three colors?  Remember you can get in on my new product shares for just 1 more week:  the In Color bundle, designer paper share or an In Color ribbon share. See details below:
